The workhorse trainer’s new Enerzy foam and more flexible outsole give it a slight edge over previous versions.
A Softer, Springier Foam
My first run in the Wave Rider was an easy 13 miles right out of the box, and as I’ve continued testing, I’ve found it’s a shoe that rewards those patient with a short break-in period. By the end of that first run, my initial forefoot hotspots had dissipated, but testers still agreed that this is a shoe that doesn’t offer much room around the ball of the foot, although the toe box feels sufficiently roomy.
That’s good news for the Rider, since the vast majority of us are heel strikers. Still, every gait will notice the shoe’s slightly different ride compared to the 23, thanks to the new Enerzy foam. Mizuno reports that the material is 17% more responsive and 15% softer, and while our RW Shoe Lab has been closed due to COVID 19, I’d absolutely agree based on our on-foot impressions.
