    Review: Wave Rider 12 by Mizuno

    By Stephanie | May 24, 2009

    wave rider 12 mizuno womensI don’t spend top dollar on very many apparel items.

    Shoes are an exception.

    Especially running shoes.

    I need running shoes with ample support, plenty of cushioning, and lightweight breathability since I wear them several times a week. The Wave Riders by Mizuno fit that description. The pillowy bottom absorbs shock and the mesh molds around my foot gracefully. Best of all, their snazzy style is commendable. The silver/virtual red stands out…and they’re equally well-suited for 5Ks or jaunts around the neighborhood.

    WIN IT! One winner will receive a pair of Wave Riders by Mizuno. To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Monday, June 1 at midnight (Don’t forget to follow the rules…all generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified.).

    *UPDATE* The winner is #191 Jacqueline in Atlanta. Congratulations!

      I am training for a 10 mile run in November and would love these! I have never heard of the brand and have such a hard time finding shoes that fit! Do they sell them in stores or only online?

      Okay, I’m very afraid to admit this, but – The last time I purchased running shoes was my sophomore year in college.

      That was twelve years ago.

      They have purple on them. My husband makes fun of them. I could really use a new pair!

      i heart new running shoes!!! good shoes definitely make a difference in comfort and performance when running… especially if they’re being used several times a week. the last thing you want to worry about when going out for a run is uncomfortable shoes or sore feet.

      Workout shoes are not something I skimp on. After knee issues and then purchasing a great pair of shoes, I hardly have knee issues any more. It’s amazing what a good pair of shoes can do for you.

      I have never heard of that company but the shoes look awesome. Love the fun colors.

      The last two pairs of shoes I bought have rubbed in odd places, making it hard to exercise for long periods (ie get a decent workout regularly). But then, I’ve never gone out to buy the really good kind.

      I need these so bad! Erin from Ifyougiveamomamoment referred me to your site after reading my post about my horrible shoes. (pictures included) I want to be a runner so bad and I’m thinking that if I had just the right shoe I could attempt it. I just may have to invest in some of these if I don’t have the opportunity of winning them.

      I’ve always enjoyed running, but have never trained for a marathon (5K or half… definitely not a full one in the horizon!). The running shoes I currently have are 5 years old and I absolutely hate them!! I’m 8 months pregnant right now, so they’ve been retired for good now. I had decided that once the baby is born I am going out and buying new shoes so I can get my body back and enjoy runs around the neighborhood again. Getting a jump start with these shoes would be perfect!!

I just grabbed the cheapest shoes I could find and thought I would be fine. Well, I’m training for a half marathon right now and these shoes are so old and NOT made for running very far. My husband says that I can make it through the race without buying a brand new pair. In his mind, if they’re not falling apart, they will work. Please help a girl out!

      Jeff and I have very recently decided to take a stab at another 5k. The one we’re doing is nearly a year away but it’s never too early to get started with the training right? Especially when we have to work around these hot desert temps.

      My running shoes are over a year old. I’m so awful. I’d much rather spend my clothing dollah on cute summer dresses and wedge sandals. Spending $ on running shoes is almost as fun as spending it on toilet paper and Pledge dusting spray if you ask me. You can understand, then, why I’d be oh so pleased to snag a pair of fancy shoes in your giveaway…:)

      I’m a New Balance girl but would love to give these a try.

      I am so impressed that you are running again. I’m 4 weeks postpardum and can’t wait to get going again. I keep thinking I’m ready and then I do a power walk to the park and realize I might need to give my body a little more recovery time. Until then, crunches and push-ups will have to do.

      I could really use a new pair of running shoes. My current pair is not that old and due to not being allowed to run right now due to injuries they do not have a lot of miles on them, BUT I wear them almost all weekend long for support. I really need a new pair of shoes so I can trade them out (one for walking around and normal chores and one for working out).

      i used mizuno wave riders as my half-marathon trainers back in 2006, before i was pregnant. still have the same pair since i kinda quit running about the time i learned i was pregnant….let’s just say i’m a bit overdue for a new pair. once i got fit for mizuno waves at a local running specialty store, i instantly departed from my decade-long loyalty to another brand. i’ll always choose mizuno because of their generous toe box, and cushion technology that lasts for endurance training. it may cost a little more up front, but they last longer which makes them a more economical choice. my top choice!

      I have horrible feet. My podiatrist demands that I wear running shoes, but comfy and good looking shoes are hard to come by. These look terrific.

      Those look like awesome running shoes. I just started running again, and could really use them.

      Your term “pillowy bottom” describing the sole of the shoe makes me think you actually have pillows attached to the bottom of the shoes. I think that would slow you down.

      I agree with you on wanting shoes with support. I would use these for working out.

      I have designs on those shoes! My plans are to run, run, run this summer and show up at the school next year to volunteer as a super-fit mama.

      I agree. Shoes are the one thing that I spend a bit more money on. You don’t want sore feet while your trying to work out or even just everyday shoes. The condition of your feet affect a lot of your body.
