| I had a pair of the Rider 11's and 10's and I really like the feel of these. They hold up nicely. |

| This version of the Wave Rider is much different than the previous versions. The main thing being the toe box being wider.
I have had about 12 pairs of version 10's and 11's, and wish they hadn't made the changes for the 12's. |

| Love them, the cushion is great and the look is great. I didn't own the previous version, so I can't tell the difference. |

| For a newer runner, yet a forever athlete, these shoes are amazing. I'm a big guy (6', 225) that's a midfoot striker/suppinator, and after running in them only once I can tell how different and better they are than the pair of Brooks I last owned. Hopefully these last me for a while! I might do a little asking around, but Mizuno has my top vote for the future so far. |

| I have VERY little "extra" $ for equip so when I spend it I'm stuck w/that item for the long haul.
I'm a fan of the Asics Gel-Landreth. For whatever reason I went with the Mizuno's this time. The fit is very similar to the Asics, the Wave Riders may be a tad bigger, not an issue.
They're very comfortable, I've only got about 25 miles in them so far, but am happy - slight blister on one heel, but that may have been a sock issue.
I'll likely buy these again. |

| Sayville was very responsive. They had the best price I could find online, and they shipped my shoes out very quickly. I was very happy with my experience. I'd definitely buy from them again. |

| This is my first pair of Mizuno and I must say that these are really great. I tried on at least 5 or 6 different brands/pairs at the store and these stood out from the others. Very light, just the right amount of cushion and support without smothering the foot.
p.s. I'm flat footed and these "high-arched" shoes feel great! |

| I am a 190 pound midfoot striker with an orthotic in my left shoe which requires room to lie flat in the heel area..and the Rider accomodates...my right foot is neutral..I have a high arch which needs above average arch support and again the Rider 12 fills the bill. And lastly, the shoe is aptly named...you are along for a smooth ride..minor complaints..could use a tad more forefoot cushioning and more overall cushioning but I know they make the Creation for that purpose but because of that shoes construction it doesnt work well with my orthotic and makes me a heel striker. Have been in Glycerins, Vomero, Radius, NB 1062, Brooks Defyance 2, Saucony Trigon ride 5...and the Rider works best for me... |

| My second pair of Wave Rider 12s, great shoe, lightweight but with enough cushioning for me (6'0", 190 lbs) to be comfortable on daily runs between 5-10 miles. |

| Excellent shoes. I had Mizuno Wave Rider 11, it was really old and worn out, so I needed new one asap and since I'm in college right now and don't have time to go out and look for new shoes. I came up to this site for first time and order this... Just exactly what I needed! Feels very similar to Mizuno Wave Rider 11... So happy. |

| I've been wearing the Wave Rider shoe for a few years now and it's everything I need in a running shoe. It's also great to get a very competitive price on such a great product! |

| so far so good....was looking for a modern version of my wave rider 8's (luv'd that shoe) which had long worn out on me. This shoes seems a bit heavier but hopefully more durable. Am using these for marathon #6 so I'll know more in a few month's how I really feel about the shoe over the long term |
