Comfortable walking shoe

I have been looking for a walking a shoe that I not only find comfortable but also like the look of. I am on my feet all day at work and I am used to wearing canvas high tops or boots. I have tried the plusher brooks ghost max and asics cumulus. Both were far too soft and I did not like the way my foot sank and moved around (safe to say I am not a fan of the whole plush faze, which I guess would make sense for running but so many people use them for walking which seems unessecary?). It also seems harder to push off when you are walking. I have the new balance 880, which I like much more because it is firmer and conforms to my foot very well, but it feels a tad minimalistic.Today I got this shoe in the mail. After my initial try on it seems to be the shoe I've been looking for. I like the look of the harbor mist colorway, it conforms to my foot very well and feels solid and substantial.If you are looking to transition from boots or canvas shoes to a running/walking shoe, you might want to give these mizuno's a try.

Nice looking shoe to wear with jeans and shorts

Great shoe. A little expensive but these have worked very well. I don't run but wanted a comfortable shoe that looks good with jeans and shorts.

For me the best Wave Rider yet

I am a big fan of Mizuno's. I believe I started with the Inspire 9 or 10's. However as the Inspire versions progressed they got bigger and more stiff. So about 5 years ago, I switched to the Wave Rider. I run with the blue inserts from Super Jock & Jill based out of Seattle. With the insert the wave rider has given me the support I need in a much lighter and comfortable shoe. I just bought this latest version 26 and it reminds me of the early Inspires. Good fit, good support, but also light with nice rebound. The foam at the heal is quite wide, so I did find the inside heal rub against the opposite ankle a few times. I am used to that now so keep in mind when running. Even with that niggle, these are my favorite Mizuno's to date.

Great for serious runners

I have purchased several pairs over the years for my sun who runs five miles a day, six days a week. He loves them! They are comfortable, have great support and wear well. Also, true to size. Excellent value and reasonably priced.

Like these shoes but they are getting costly

Honestly, I wish they would just quit changing them. I have gone back and forth on liking them more or less. What I mean is this version 26 is fine. I didn't like the 25 version. liked the 22... didn't care so much for one earlier one and liked the first pair I bought most of all.
