Terrible laces, good cushioning

I've worn Waverider for many, many years. The cushioning feels the same and is wonderful. The mesh upper doesn't offer enough structure, and if you try to mimic the structure by tightening the laces, be careful. These places are a nightmare. It is very difficult to loosen after tightening and not loosen at all when moving. Both legs were numb within minutes. Buy new seats now and experience the rise of these shoes.

Pros
  • Rubber outsole
Cons
  • Empty

Best Injury Road Runner

I ordered WaveKnit from Revain after a Mizuno demo event. I realize the 30 day return window is a few days past, but that's because I was out for 3 weeks due to my first sports injury. I rolled ankle runs (3 times) in the first week of owning my Mizuo running shoes. I've never sprained my ankle. I've been on the bench for the last 3 weeks and just yesterday I was able to walk again and sprained my other ankle before pulling out of the driveway. These are clearly not the right shoes for me and I

Pros
  • 100% Synthetic
Cons
  • Earplugs Required

Great running shoe, toe box is smaller than regular Wave Riders

I have been running Mizuno Wave Riders for many years. These are my running shoes. Knitting fascinated me and I wanted to try it. These shoes are springy and durable just like regular Waveriders, however the toe box is not as roomy due to the knit. I always order shoes one size up from my usual shoe size (which I did for them) and my thumb touches the side of the shoe, which I don't have with regular surfers of the same size. However, I have taken these shoes several times for short distances…

Pros
  • U4icX Durable strobel board under the removable, cushioned insole provides a comfortable ride.
Cons
  • Not everything fits

The best Mizuno yet - so comfortable!

I've been an avid Mizuno customer since trying on a pair many years ago. I bought a Mizuno Wave Rider 18 and they were heaven sent! After a few years, when the shoes ran out and were no longer suitable for walking, they became my work shoes in the yard. After reading reviews about the new generation, I decided to buy Mizuno Wave Creation 20 - TERRIBLE DECISION! They were hard, tight and hurt my legs, although all the reviews were good. Fast forward a year and now I've moved those (expensive and

Pros
  • Lightweight and breathable.
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
