Great shoeJan 05, 2010
By T. Owens
This is the first pair of Mizunos I have owned and I love them. I bought mine November 17 and have put over 300 miles on them since then. They are very light weight and so far seem very durable with no noticeable wear on the soles yet. My longest run in them to date is 31 miles and they felt as good when I was done as when I started. I will be getting another pair soon so I can rotate my shoes since I have added another day of running each week.

First great running shoeOct 25, 2010
By tom in atl
I have had bad shin splints for years, so I normally just do not run. I play tennis, and other sports a lot, so I was in decent shape. In August a friend convinced me to run a half marathon, so I went out to the big peach running store, had them fit me for shoes and bought these, and have been running 15-25 miles a week since. I'm 5' 9" and about 175-180 lbs. I average about 9:00 miles for anything above 8 miles.
They feel great! These shoes are supportive, they allow sweat/water to pass through, have a good spring in the step, and I couldn't be happier. As someone else said, if they get wet one day, they are easily dry by the next day.
My shin splints haven't hurt at all, and I have had no hot spots at all on my feet. Yesterday I ran 11 miles, and although my body is a little sore, my feet feel great. I am running the half next Saturday, and am sure these shoes will give me everything I need to succeed (which in my case is to finish).
All in all, if you are nuetral or under-pronate, I'd give these a try!

Switched me from Asics after 12 years.Mar 05, 2011
By Tim E.
"madscientist"
I've been an avid runner and Asics aficionado for 12 years. A few years ago I trained for 7 months to run a marathon using the Asics DS Trainer, and that was generally my shoe of choice for many years. These days I usually run 7-12 miles per session at ~7 minute miles. I never considered switching to Mizuno until I started experiencing knee pain using my Asics and went to a local store for a shoe fitting. This revealed that I was a neutral striker with high arches and thin feet. I switched to the Mizuno Wave Rider 13 based upon this fitting and literally felt my knee getting BETTER as I progressed through my first 8 mile run.
I repeat: my knee was hurting before I ran, and by the end of the first 8 miles my knee didn't hurt anymore.
Since then I've run about 400 miles on them and they are now getting to the end of their spring. Nevertheless the bottoms show no wear and the uppers look almost like the day I bought them. I just bought a replacement pair from Amazon.
If you take a close look at the structure of the shoe, you'll see that there is a more rigid piece of black plastic that is wave-shaped and extends from the midsole to the heel, interwoven with softer rubber. On my shoe this is labeled "Mizuno Wave" and I believe that is the technology that provides the lightweight stability and high performance. Obviously, no one else has this exact design and I highly recommend Mizuno's because of it.

OUTSTANDING SHOE!!!Nov 12, 2010
By David Hea
It is very difficult to find a running shoe in a EE width to begin with. But this shoe has the added bonus of being designed for a neutral to under pronating gait. The heel is very well cushioned and has a lot of spring. The also are extremely light and feel more like a sock than a shoe. I love them!

Mizuno Wave Rider 13 - Great Follow-up to 12May 22, 2010
By S. Prichard
Having owned and loved the Wave Rider 12, I naturally turned to the 13's when my 12's died. I purchase new running shoes every 6 months or so (or 300 miles, whichever comes first). These shoes fit and feel great. I run with a mild supination/under-pronation, and these shoes fit that style well. I just completed a local 5k race in them, and have taken them up to 8 miles. So far, there have been no hot spots or blisters or discomfort. Definitely recommended for the medium distance runner with my gait.
