Discover the Mizuno Wave Rider 27: A Solid Performer for Runners

[@JordanMVP10]

Try the Sky 7!!

[@julianlambert8990]

I really like the Wave Rider - very comfortable, I've had 4 pairs now and really durable. I'm not particularly interested in style, they look fine to me. They don't appear to be very popular, but they are much better than eg a nike pegasus

[@andrewwhyte3979]

Totally agree,a great shoe for long walks too I found 👍🏻😁

[@roebucksadventure]

would this be a good shoe for a half marathon? I have been using the wave rider for over 10 years. I have ran 10k's and half-marathons. Just wanted your opinion

Hi Chris, I watched your WR27 review, appreciate your honesty:) I started running in 2019 and I went to a running shop (run by a running family and 2:20 marathoner so he knew his stuff) and he let me try on around 8-9 different brands, NB, Asics, OC, Brooks etc and the only shoe which felt "right" fit wise was the Mizuno (Wave Ultima 11). Since then I've had WR24, 25 and 26 but now I need to change shoe, 600kms on the WR26s. Such a dilemma, do I opt for 27s or can you suggest a better daily trainer? Whilst I'm here, just thought I'd give you big kudos for your channel, you've done so well, it's hard to start a channel but you're really getting traction now with your recent partnerships, well done Chris:)

Thanks Andy I really appreciate it

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@FordyRuns You're welcome Chris, do you have any advice on WR27 alternatives that you could share?

I did not like the reduced durability of the outsole on my Wave Rider 26 when compared to other Mizuno's shoes from 2019 to middle 2022. Hopefully, the outsole durability of the Wave Rider 27 got improved ... I know that my Wave Sky 7 is having an amazing outsole durability, and it is much better than the older Wave Sky 6 .

Love the look and feel of the shoe, but no support when running for me. My feet were sore all day. Going to try the cumulus 25.

[@umahan1]

Which is better? Cumulus or Rider

[@Echom4-kr5el]

@@umahan1neither worked for me for running, but Ryder was a good walking shoe. Cumulus 26 is better than 25.

[@jamesb.walker9177]

Is it more stable then the Boston 12?

[@peterchio7232]

Is propel v4 better than vekocity 2?

[@muhammadibnu4857]

i got podiums with this shoes with average pace 3:15

[@richardharvey4216]

The Wave Rider is a decent shoe. But Mizunos lack of innovation from like the wave rider 12 to the 24 put the brand so far behind the others no one cares anymore. The only people who buy the wave rider or wave inspire are either die hard Mizuno wearers who have worn them since the 90’s or if they go on offer with a huge discount. Mizuno ranks dead last in sales volume in our store. Even Altra outsells them.

Yeah but I've been buying only wave riders since 2014. I've gone through several dozen pairs.
