"Great shoe for shorter distance training - very light and the most comfortable shoe I've ever tried. Lacking support so not recommended as a high mileage shoe for those of us who need a heavier shoe for long distances."bdwyerbdwyer

Fit

I have thin feet and normal arches. Normal stride profile (very moderate pronation). The fit at the heel and midsole is comfortable and the toe wrap is good. The achilles support feels a bit low but does not bother me when running.

(5)

Comfort

For comfort the Wave Rider is brilliant - "sock like" is what other reviews have said and I think that this sums it up nicely.

(4)

Value

Excellent value for money if you buy them in the US. In Europe they are more expensive.

(4)

Performance

Found them to be excellent training shoe for shorter distance runs 8-18km. On the other hand I found myself missing the support of my workhorse training shoe (Brooks Glycerin) for longer runs of 18-30km

Strengths

Comfort, fit, lightness

Weakness

Support.
