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.

Great shoe

Cindy 2 months ago Verified Purchase

Shoes fit great and look great! I am very pleased! I have used Brooks for years and was just looking to make a change - these are an excellent choice!

So so

SEG 3 months ago Verified Purchase

They are not as comfortable as my prior sneakers. They ride high on the sides by the side bone.

Been wearing Wave Riders for over a decade

Maddie 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I’ve been wearing Mizuno Wave Riders for over a decade. As someone with a wider foot and a mid to low arch these have been so comfortable and supportive over the years. This model has been my favorite yet. I just got a second pair for half-marathon training. The 26s had some great color options. Great mid-weight shoe. Mizuno remains my running shoe brand of choice.

Light and easy

Deborah 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Comfortable fit from the moment I slip in my feet. Soft landings with every step with a very light weight. After 6 years it’s still my favorite shoe.

My go to running shoe

The Wave Rider 26 is a consistent stability shoe with fun colors.

Love Mizunos!

Lori S 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Super comfy and supportive and no break in needed at all. This is my new work shoe. I’m in healthcare and am on my feet 4-4.5 miles per day with patients. I’ve had other Mizuno shoes that have also been fantastic. They are well made and hold up for many miles. In addition I have osteoarthritis in my knee so for me to be able to have comfortable feet all day is a true lifesaver!!

Mizuno Wave Rider

Deb 6 months ago Verified Purchase

Great shoes especially for a narrower foot. Always provide great support. Great for a long run or a short run for my pace of 9.5 for each mile.

Poor quality

Tray 6 months ago Verified Purchase

I brought this for long distance running. Unfortunately very uncomfortable. There’s no cushion on ball of feet especially on pavement. I’m disappointed I used to buy Brooke’s all the time but lately I feel quality has change. I’m looking for different brands that more comfortable.

Awesome place
