As a FitFluential Ambassador and fitness blogger, I am blessed to receive some amazing products to review and share with you. Last week I was sent a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 17 shoes to try out and review. I am never one to turn away fitness gear and was super excited to try out the new Mizuno Wave Rider 17 running shoes!
I have never run in Mizuno until just recently. However, many of my running friends swear by this brand of shoe. Because I am nursing my foot, and trying to get as many miles on my racing shoes (for this weekend’s marathon) I haven’t put a lot of miles on my WaveRider17s yet… but I will!
I have been wearing them as my every day go to shoe since receiving them last week. I can honestly say they are by far the most comfortable shoe that I currently own. These WaveRider17’s make my feet very happy!
The shoe is very supportive and has a lot of cushion. Which is a great thing for someone who needs a little support and cushion on her aching foot. Plus the shoe itself is light considering its sturdy build.
I finally ran in them this afternoon. I did a quick speed work session on the treadmill. I was very pleased with how these shoes performed, felt, and treated my foot.
I felt no pain or discomfort while running in these shoes. In fact, I didn’t even feel the ache in the bottom of my foot! It is a blessing that my foot is healing AND these shoes do not hurt or aggravate the aching spot! Winning!
The shoes felt light and had a comfortable transition with each step. I felt springy and light on my feet. I was very pleased with how these shoes (and my feet) ran today.
If I weren’t already planning to wear a different set of shoes for CIM this weekend… I would totally be using these shoes! They are not a minimalist shoe, as they offer more support and stability. However, they are super comfortable and give just enough to the runner to make it a brilliant run… each run!
These bad boys will be available to purchase at your local running store or online December 5th. If you are looking for a new supportive and comfortable running shoe, I encourage you to check out the new Mizuno Wave Rider 17. Feel your run, not your shoes!
I live and die by Mizuno so I’m so happy you are enjoying them! I can’t wait to get my feet in a pair. I’m running my first marathon this weekend so I think they would be a great post race present to myself 🙂
Awesome!! I am running my FIRST full marathon this weekend too!! I will be running the California International Marathon here in Sacramento! 🙂
Where will you be running yours? Good luck to you!!
Such a well detailed review! I am loving these shoes! Sometimes companies make unnecessary changes, but in this case Mizuno nailed it.
I’ve been loving what I’ve been hearing and reading about the Mizuno Wave Rider 17! Thanks for the great review!
I’m with you – total love of comfort, support, and a pain free run! SUPER excited for you to CRUSH IT this weekend!!!
Super excited for you to CRUSH IT this weekend!!! Loving the cushion, support, and pain free runs!!!
I love my WR 16s and cannot wait to try the 17s. So glad you love them too!
Im a walker BUT BUT BUT I do love me some MIZUNO anyway.
now Im wondering if THEY cringe at my love?? 🙂
Ha! I doubt it. I am sure MIZuno loves all the love from MIZfit 😀
I have spent the majority of my time WALKING in these shoes (just given the circumstances of my week and foot). I think they would make a great walking shoe too! 🙂
These are first on my list to try when I start running again!
I’m loving the pruple/yellow combo on these shoes.
I converted to Mizuno about a year ago and I’m so happy that I did! After years struggling with plantar fasciitis, in spite of wearing heavy motion control shoes, my feet are finally healthy. I didn’t think that they could make the Wave Rider 16 any better, but I really think they nailed it with the 17.
