Mizuno Wave Rider 17 Shoe Review

November 26, 2013 6 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Christmas came early in my house.  That’s right, through FitFluential, Mizuno sent me the newest addition to their fabulous family.  The newly designed Mizuno Wave Rider 17.  An all around great neutral shoe.  The shoe launches December 5th.

It is designed for every runner.  It’s lighter (for the fast people), it’s smoother (for the long runners), and it’s a pretty fierce shoe (for the fashionistas).

I’ve put about 10 miles on these shoes so far and I’ve loved every mile.  They are the perfect catalyst for those looking for a brilliant run.  I don’t want to diminish the engineering that went into this shoe.  It is a result of a lot of time and effort by people much smarter than me so here are all the secret weapons that make this shoe fabulous (ie technical details). 

Here are a few Technical Details:

  • 8.8 ounces
  • U4ic midsole delivers lightweight, resilient cushioning.
  • Dissolving upper fit with new DMF execution and soft, supple mesh materials.
  • New sockliner with increased resiliency and responsiveness.
  • SmoothRide Engineer for a Brilliant Run.
  • Lateral Forefoot Sculpting for smooth touchdown and transition.
  • Blown rubber forefront with deep flex grooves for optimal flexibility and cushioning.

I loved them so much, I didn’t just want to write about them and show you a picture or two.  I wanted you to see them.  So MiniE and I created this SHORT review.  Won’t you take a look?

So where would you take these pretty babies?  Where would your brilliant run be?

    Nice! I got a pair of waverunner 13s (I think?) a few months ago and I was instantly in love! They aren’t quite as sleek looking as those though 🙂 I had never tried mizunos before but I was sold after my first run with them!

    Even though I haven’t run in mine yet, I’m loving them. Supportive with just enough cushion. Fingers crossed I’m given the ok to take them on a short run today!

    I just got these too! Same color and everything. They are great – I never thought I’d see a shoe with such good support be so lightweight!

    Those shoes would be a great early Christmas present! I like the fact that they are light-weight.

    I have been seeing those shoes popping up everywhere. I love the colors! Are they made for over-pronators? Thank you for sharing your great review!

    I’m sure they are very good, but there is no way I’ll give up my Prophecys. They are the greatest shoe ever made!!!!!!! My next pair of shoes will be the Prophecy 3, Have 3 pair of the Prophecy 2.
