Full details

This model is ideal for athletes transitioning between high-mileage training sessions and casual everyday wear, offering signature Mizuno durability and support.

FAQs
Is the Wave Rider 25 suitable for high-mileage running?
Yes, the durability of the midsole and outsole makes this an excellent option for consistent daily mileage.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
The shoe is designed for neutral runners, providing a supportive base that aligns the foot naturally without aggressive medial posting.
Can I replace the factory insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic inserts.
How long should these shoes last?
Depending on running surface and intensity, most users find these shoes provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles.
Is the shoe true to size?
The Wave Rider 25 generally fits true to size, though some runners prefer a half-size up to account for foot swelling during long-distance efforts.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window-lacing method, to relieve pressure on the high-contact areas of the midfoot.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole tread is free from packed debris or gravel, which can hinder the rubber contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Wave Rider 25s, start by loosening the laces completely when first trying them on to ensure a proper lockdown across the midfoot. These shoes are fully compatible with standard orthotic insoles if additional arch support is required. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight.
