Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 24

Too small, and I wear a size 10 in Mizuno's. Always have?

Wore them for a full day today for the first time after trying them on. The tightness of the shoe was intolerable. Toe space was fine, ankle support was fine, but across my foot, even with the laces entirely undone, my feet were numb from constriction.

I have 3 pair of the shoes and these are too small!

Too small in the toe area both in width and in length. I am always a size 7 and these were very small in my opinion. Also the shoe laces had to be widened to the point of being unflattering to fit comfortably, and my foot is a normal foot - never wear a wide shoe. I was fine with the boring grey color but the fit was awful. Was trying something new based on reviews and had to return unfortunately.

I have been a fan of Mizuno Wave Rider sneakers for years and have never had a problem with them wearing out in one season. However, I bought a pair of the Wave Rider 24 sneakers in June 2022, and now 3 months later a piece of the bottom tread is loose and flapping. Really disappointed these didn’t hold up to regular walking.

Terrible sizing. Bought wide and a half size more and they are TIGHT. I would return them if I hadn't run in them already. Dissatisfied

It felt like I was running in concrete. Terrible sneaker with no shock absorption

So disappointed! We love these shoes but the treads on the bottom are peeling off with less than 20 miles of running. Never had this problem with Mizuno's before even with hundreds of miles on them.

Ordered wide width, and Man, these were every tight! Also, it seems the left insole was not even, pushing my foot to weird angle and strain on my knees. Liked the color and look, but sadly back these go.

Terrible sizing information and pricing. Will not be ordering via Zappos again

I need help I’ve been wearing these for years but this model has caused back knee and calf issues. I started seeing a Chiro and he thinks it my shoes. I went back to older model and problems went away. I want to cry. What do I do ?

This shoe caused me two blisters, one of each foot, where the shoe bends below the toes as I walk. I wish I could return these shoes because of the money spent on these shoes as I cannot use them for walking, exercising, etc. Will not buy this one again. Disappointed in Mizuno as I really enjoy their products.

The fit was very different than previous Wave Rider. Toe box was smaller, and although I ordered the same width as B4 ... just didn't fit. I contacted corporate Mizuno, and queried about the manufacturing process. They were polite, but like many international shoe companies, the sizes are getting smaller, and they don't have a plan to maintain consistent size within any model. Prices higher every year, but quality is also less in this model. I need to start over trying to find a shoe that fits well. I gave the example that a WI privately owned shoe company maintains a master "LAST" for each shoe model they make and sell, and consumers can reliably purchase a new version of that model with a perfect fit, unless there is a foot change. YET, Billion Dollar international companies can't seem to understand how millions of people get frustrated finding and buying athletic shoes that fit.... lack of model year size consistency is most frustrating . I'm still looking for a replacement.

Hate. Usually love mizuno wave rider. These are awful. Been wearing x 10 yrs

Got 1/2 size larger but despite that was too small. Very disappointed. Returning. Ordered different model.
