I bought these shoes to go back to running, after a long time off it. I am currently a bit overweight, I suffer from moderate shin splints, and I've had some trouble with one of my achilles tendons in the past.
With that and getting close to my 40's in mind, I decided to invest in a good pair of running shoes. I used the Runner's World shoe finder tool on their website and this was one of the recommended shoes. The Wave Riders fit my feet perfectly. The materials and the design of these shoes are very good, so at the same time they have a good firm fit to my feet, there is no tight spot. Pressure is distributed very uniformly.
I have been running on the treadmill continuously for 45 to 60 minutes at a time, every other day, and I feel no pain, numbness, or anything, on my feet. The Wave Riders work perfectly for me, so I can focus on my shape / posture when I run. I have been feeling less and less pain on my shins, and no sign of any pain on my achilles tendon.
I highly recommend the following:
Use the Runner's World shoe finder tool. Follow all the steps to the letter. Run a little bit paying close attention to your form and how your feet hit the ground to properly answer the questions. Don't buy running shoes because they look cool or whatever. You can always find something that looks "pro" within the results the site gives you.
Don't save money on your running shoes. Buy good stuff from the running brands. I think I could have prevented some injuries I had in the past by putting more money down on shoes. Remember running is very repetitive, so any small detail that may be a little off may cause an injury when repeated thousands of times. I am biased towards Mizuno now, but there are many options out there.
Note: I bought my shoes, plus other running shoes for my wife, on Amazon. She didn't like hers, so we returned them and got reimbursed. No hassle. I am definitely going to buy my next pair from Amazon again.

Typical Wave Runner. Excellent running shoes for training. They give enough support and feel pretty seamless. The only minus stays the hole in the heel which occasionally catches a stone of right size and shape. "Limited edition" WRs even look nice.Best Deals on Mizuno Men's Wave Rider 15 Running Shoe
This is a great shoe and I am very happy with my purchase. Seems like the issue with the 14 was fixed and we are back to original Rider. It is light and has low heels which generates a great running position. I did not rate 5 stars because it lacks some cushioning. I weigth 170 pounds and I could use a bit more, but overal great shoe and I would buy it again.Honest reviews on Mizuno Men's Wave Rider 15 Running Shoe
I would't usually recommend buying shoes online as you can't try them on beforehand. At my age, however, I know my size cold and these worked out perfectly for me. Just ran the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle 8k with them and posted a personal best time. Love 'em.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mizuno Men's Wave Rider 15 Running Shoe
Received the Mizuno Men's Wave Ride 15 shoe in the Blue Color. The colors are so bright and I really like it actually.... Running Shoes are supposed to be flashy, and I will be able to be spotted pretty easily out of the crowd.I am primarily a marathon/long distance runner and so far these shoes fit pretty well. I just did an 8.5 and 6 mile run with them and so far they are holding up pretty good. I also did an 8 mile treadmill run and the shoes were comfortable. The shoe has good support and gives me extra spring. I am going to do a 13 miler tomorrow and hopefully I still feel the same way after the run. I am still breaking the shoes in, so I hope they are good to go for the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 5th.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend them
