Features
Run your best in the Mizuno Wave Rider 26.
The newest version of the Mizuno Wave Rider lives up to its reputation as one of the best running shoes. This reliable workhorse offers more cushion and energy return than ever before. Mizuno added 2 mm of Mizuno’s ENERZY foam for a more propulsive and plush ride. The castor bean, bio-based wave plate in the midsole gives you balance, propulsion and efficiency during your run. Plus, the new wave materials emit 25% less CO2 emissions than normal PEBAX.
A connected forefoot outsole design provides for a snappier, more propulsive toe-off, while the X10 heel rubber increases durability. A jacquard mesh upper with a gusseted tongue hugs the foot comfortably and securely making it one of the best shoes for both walking and running long distances.
Lightweight, propulsive and cushioned, the Mizuno Wave Rider 26 is a great all-around daily trainer.

The waveknit upper can be found on Mizuno’s Wave NEO Ultra and Wave NEO Wind.

Love Mizuno
I have been wearing Mizuno for 25 years. They never disappoint. These are the most comfortable ones I’ve had and I get lots of compliments on the color/design.
Love this shoe
I usually run with two other brands of shoe so this is my first in Mizuno. It is a lite shoe and very comfortable. This might be my new "go to" shoe.
