Mizuno Women's Wave Rider 25

I’ve been wearing muzino for 20 plus years. Great fit for a narrow foot, high arch. They run small. My normal shoe size is 8.5 and I always order 9.5. Wonderful running shoes.

I usually wear a 7.5 running shoe and I had to go up to an 8.5 but they're fantastic now that I've found my size in them. Plenty of room in the toe box but not so much I'll trip, heel is nice & snug so no slipping, feet feel very supported in the shoe. Looking forward to putting on some miles and may add a 2nd pair to have as a spare

I don't know anyone who has feet as narrow as mine. These actually fit and support my flat flimsy feet from all sides! I got orthotic inserts for them because I always do, but they actually hurt my feet, so I took them out and put the insole that comes with the shoe back in. Lo and behold, I can wear them as is with no pain! (and no pronation!) I did have to order a half size up for the length in the toes. the bands on the sides of the toe box may bug you if your feet aren't abnormally narrow, but I saw a video of a podiatrist who just cut the bands off with an exacto knife. These shoes grip my heels, which tend to slip out of other lesser shoes and they have extra lace holes so you can really cinch 'em up. Also, the soles have good traction, but don't tear up my carpet like trail shoes. I use these for step aerobics and kick boxing, too. The aerobics instructors say to use slippery cross-trainers for pivoting and lateral support when moving side to side, but all the cross trainers I tried on (well over 20 pairs all high end brands) were junk with no support or structure of any kind- like just wearing socks. So glad I tried these. Please don't ever stop making narrow widths!

I got the blue color. Love the look of this shoe on and the color isn't too much like so many of the styles these days.. I read reviews and sized up a full size from my regular sneaker size . I wear a 6 B in dress shoes, a 6.5 in Skechers slip ons, a 7 in Brooks and took a 7.5 in these. The shoe fits very well. Roomy toe box and heel fits secure. Foot bed is very comfortable with arch well supported. Foot stays aligned and secure in shoe. All in all I am very happy with the shoe and glad I tried it. My first pair from this brand and probably won't be my last.

I bought these to replace a much older pair of Mizuna wave riders, from probably 2015 or so, because I wanted to take up running again and the old Mizunas were some of the best running shoes I've ever owned. Sadly, these don't fit me as well. They have aggressive padding around the ankle that I don't like, and the arch support is not as good as my old pair. I did get them for a good price and they'll do OK for little jogs around the block, but if I decided to run another marathon I'd want something better. They look good, though.

Something is definite not the same with these shoes. The fit is small. I went up 2 sizes and still fit tight. Every time I wear them I get blisteres. I have them a fair shot and no. Going into the donation pile unfortunately.

They're great running and walking shoes. I love them ! Very comfortable and sturdy.

Love these shoes. They are comfortable and supportive. Great fit.
