I first switched from Nike to Mizuno running shoes 3 or 4 years ago after being evaluated on a treadmill at a local running store.  I always assumed that I had a fairly significant pronation issue since my running shoes had such uneven wear patterns.  But, instead, they felt that I just needed a moderate neutral shoe for regular daily use and recommended Mizuno.  I've been wearing the Mizuno Wave Riders ever since (through all the different year models).  I've also used their Wave Precision, a slightly lighter-weight, neutral performance shoe; but I prefer the Wave Rider for regular use.

I love the fact that they're lightweight and yet they offer plenty of stability, cushioning, and "bounce."  I've had knee problems for several years and one of my knees is post-surgery.  Finding a shoe that doesn't mess with my knee is very important to me.  I occasionally try out other shoes, but always end up coming back to this one.  The synthetic and mesh fabric allows them to dry out quickly if I've been slogging through puddles on rainy days.  The mesh makes them quite breathable and the toe box of the shoe seems to offer more wiggle space than many other running shoes I've tried.

I find the Mizuno Wave Riders to be true to size.  The "Bleached Aqua/Sun Orange/Dark Shadow" color is very nice.
