Not as much stability in the shoe as I am used to but definitely comfortable and well cushioned. Also like the dark blue colourway for a change.

Nice supportive shoes that aren't too narrow, I bought one pair then came back for two more 3 months later because they're that good.

I ran more than 400km with Wave rider 24. At that time, my impression was "Not bad, but doesn't make as much they boasted"."Mizuno Enerzy", the foam they developed to contest with Nike shoes, seems insufficient on recoil energy, shock abosorb and front push and disappointed me.But, there was rumor that "26 is definitely different" in Japan. I purchased this model with little expectation, because my feet size are small for most of shoes that on the shop.When I start running with 26, It is actually different from 24.The 2mm increased foam and new design plate greatly withstand recoil, absorb and stability.One-pieced shoe tongue makes easy fit and never drop to side while running, and engineered mesh makes great heat dissipation. You can feel the winds blow ... MoreI ran more than 400km with Wave rider 24.

It's true jack of all trades.

Best runners that I have ever had. Have always bought this brand due to the wide fitting and extreme comfort. Love the black and can be worn with just about anything.
Great running shoe, however, the sizing sucks. Had an old version of wave runners from years ago which I used for ages and is still my favourite running shoe. So I decided to stick with the same brand and style. Stuck with the same size whilst also trying on a size smaller and half size smaller. None of them felt right. Either way too small or just a bit too big. I stuck with a 10 like I've always had and even with thicker socks and trialling an additional inner-sole I can say they still don't fit properly. Other than this issue, the shoe is great and has everything you'd expect from a good modern running shoe.
Great for running and walking. Bought these to replace my regular run around shoes and I’d buy them again.
Not as good as previous models. Don’t know if they have changed cushioning or design. Hope they get back to being great again.
Bought it for my partner. He says that the shoe is comfortable, lightweight, and provide great support while running. The sizing was accurate and the black color looks sleek and stylish.
Fit is good, comfortable and supportive. I have just broken my leg, but can’t blame the shoe for that…
