Mizuno Wave Rider 28
Features
The Mizuno Wave Rider 28 brings dynamic smoothness to your everyday runs.
Soft cushioning and high energy return come from Mizuno’s game-changing ENERZY NXT midsole and legendary Wave Plate in the heel, which are stable and forgiving on easy runs while still being versatile for faster transitions when you pick up the pace.
Finished off with a breathable Jacquard Air Mesh upper for a seamless fit, the Wave Rider 28 is ready to be your ultimate daily trainer.
Details:
- Upper: A soft Jacquard mesh upper gives you a forgiving and breathable fit. This flexible and smooth upper construction, with strategically placed PU print guides, stretches and supports your foot with every stride.
- Midsole: Lighter, softer and more resilient than ever, the bio-based ENERZY NXT midsole ensures a smooth and energized ride from your first step to your last. In the heel, a Pebax Rnew® Wave Plate provides a cushioned, stable ride that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing your performance.
- Outsole: The X10 outsole is a carbon rubber that makes the Wave Rider durable enough to be your workhorse running shoe.

Worn these for years
Comfortable fit and great support for my high archeo

Surprisingly good
I purchased this almost on a whim because it was on sale. To my surprise, I have found this shoe to be very comfortable. However, I find it comfortable not necessarily as a running shoe, but more as what I would refer to as a "classic" sneaker. I find I am wearing this shoe almost every day.

Excellent Road Training Shoe
Very good shoe. Just the right support without one of those hard carbon plates. Good cushioning but not overly soft like other shoes. Don't mess it up by changing it

Always a great shoe!
I have been running in these shoes for almost 20 years. I think the only version I remember not liking was the 14th generation. These 28s are perfect. First run this morning was perfect.

Best shoes I've ever had
This was the sixth pair of Wave Riders I have owned. They upgrade something with every new number but they are always comfortable, supportive and great for walking and HIIT exercise.
