Throughout my years of training, I’ve searched for a lightweight running shoe that could be used for tempo run’s or even intervals without using track spikes or my racing flats. After using Mizuno’s Wave Rider 13 i was hooked! At a weight of 8.6 oz the shoe is a flexible and lightweight trainer for runners with a neutral foot. The parallel wave plate allows great shock absorption and a smooth heel to toe transition. I’ve used the Wave Rider 13 recently in the Disney marathon and the light weight shoe definitely impacted my overall performance in a positive way feeling a faster turnover and a less severe impact on the pavement with the unique form of cushioning.
Working at Runningfree has allowed me to hear a great deal of customer feedback. Many customers have raved about the unique form of cushioning given by the parallel wave plate along with the sock like feel.
Next time your in the store, give them a test run!
