Mizuno Men's Rider Waveknit™ 3 Running Shoe, Size 10.5, Campanula-Vapor Bl (5Gvb)

I usually wear a new pair of running shoes for a day or two around the house to see how they feel before heading out for a run. The Rider WaveKnit 3 fit great and have just the support I need. I ran in them first day and the comfort just keeps coming. They fit to size and look and feel great.

I was on the market for a new shoe after Brooks discontinued their Pureflow line (RIP!!). I was really nervous about choosing a new shoe because I'd been on the same model for seven years, but I didn't find anything from Brooks as a replacement (and could not seem to find any literature telling me what shoe I should switch too!) I was encouraged to give the WaveKnit 3s a try, and boy I'm glad I did. They seem to have more support than the Pureflows, which I was nervous about since I'm very pro neutral shoe, but I quickly got used to it and feel very strong running in it. I also like that the bottoms are a little more filled in, so I don't get rocks stuck in it. Have so far taken it for short to medium-long runs, and I'm really enjoying it! I'm looking forward to taking this pair through a training cycle leading up to a marathon -- all signs are that this shoe is up to the task.
