Guide Review - Mizuno Wave Rider Shoe

As a high-mileage walkers, I need some cushioning to keep my feet happy for hours on end, but I also need a lightweight and flexible shoe. The Mizuno Wave Rider fills those needs. I have a special need regarding the bunion area, and again the Mizuno Wave Rider is structured in a way that protects the bunion. The shoe is low enough and has a rocker heel, both good features for walkers. With these shoes on, I feel like breaking into a racewalk, which is not my usual response to a cushioned shoe. If you overpronate, this is not the shoe for you. But if you have a neutral gait, give it a ride.
