Catch the Wave: Mizuno?s Rider 20 & Inspire 13 Now in Stores!

“Running is hard. Riding is Smooth” That’s the new tagline for the newly redesigned Mizuno Wave Rider 20, and it boasts the smooth feeling of running in the new Wave Rider 20. 

This is one of the best updates I have seen to any shoe lately! The most important things to consider when choosing a running shoe are FIT and FEEL. The Wave Rider has always had an amazing fit, but it’s the slightly stiff feeling of the wave plate under the heel that turned some runners away from this performance-oriented neutral shoe. Not anymore! The new Wave Rider 20 delivers a softer, smoother feel with their wave plate design and it even adds to the performance of the shoe with new geometry for better responsiveness. 

The rest of the midsole has been redesigned as well. Deeper flex grooves under the forefoot offer better flexibility for a more natural feel and the combination of Mizuno’s U4ic & U4icX midsole foam makes this version of the Wave Rider softer than ever.

Not only does the Wave Rider 20 have an improved feel underfoot, the upper has also been redesigned for an amazing fit. A Triple Zone engineered mesh upper ensures breathability, flexibility, and structure exactly where you need it. The toe box features a new mesh for a more accommodating fit while the collar has been softened to avoid irritation around the ankle and Achilles. 

All-in-all, the new Wave Rider 20 is a top choice for any neutral runner. From the mile to the marathon, you’ll get the fit, feel, and performance that you need to make every run feel smooth. 

If a stability shoe is what you’re looking for, look no further than the Wave Inspire 13! Featuring an improved fit thanks to the new mesh upper and softer collar, you won’t want to take these shoes off. 

The Wave Inspire 13 also has a better feel thanks to the new softer strobel board that sits underneath the sock liner and makes each step feel perfectly smooth. Similar to the Rider 20, the new Inspire 13 combines U4ic & U4icX midsole foams for a soft, smooth, stable ride that makes this a favorite for many over-pronators.
