Mizuno Wave Rider 24 Shoes Green Blue Grey
Amazing allrounder - with a little issues in wet conditions -
First of all the shoe is great and I will order a 2nd pair to replace these in a few months
Background: I am an enthusiast road runner: training avg.120k p/m for 10k/10M and half marathons
Feedback: This shoe is ideal for all my training - slow long runs, fast interval sessions or hill climbs - it is firm and responsive for quick sessions yet soft enough to be out for 20+k training runs. It has a good fit and a great toe box (I bought 1 size bigger compared to my Mizuno Wave Shadow which is a snug fit for race days.) The shoe is light and the grip is good in all conditions: snow, sludge, rain and dry. (Shame that the colour does show very quickly all the dirt during the wet season - but they are for running and not for the museum.)
The biggest downside like many running shoes in wet conditions it seems to suck the water like a sponge which in winter is really uncomfortable.
4 out of 5: Once the shoe is wet it seems to loose colour and all my white running socks are done. Further it is the first shoe for which I require a shoe deodorant as it does not dry out nicely.
Summary: Great buy - great shoe for every running level and works perfectly if you only want or need one pair for your running season.
