Neutral. Providing the cushioning, durability and flexibility for the best ride ever, Mizuno’s Wave® Rider™ 15 returns to the fit, feel and performance that has made the Wave® Rider™ Series a franchise unto itself.

Upper: AIRMesh™ with synthetic overlays for support provides the utmost in breathability and comfort of the upper. Dynamotion Fit™ relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear and eliminates distortion in the collar and heel during the gait cycle for a perfect fit.

Midsole: The Mizuno Wave® is a leading footwear technology that combines cushioning and stability, two distinctly different elements that are both inherently necessary in great running shoes. Gender specific engineering is a philosophy to maximize performance by tailoring footwear to the separate needs of men and women. Women’s gender specific engineering provides a Flex lines in the heel and forefoot. The Mizuno Wave™ is SmoothRide™ Engineered. This SmoothRide™ Engineering approach is used to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, creating the smoothest ride possible. AP+ enhances the inherent properties of the AP midsole, offering increased rebound and a "bouncier" feeling, which extends the cushion durability, while maintaining the light weight performance. VS-1 Shock-absorbing cushioning compound is found in the heel to absorb the forces from heel strike. The Mizuno Intercool Full-length midsole ventilation system reduces heat and humidity build-up inside the shoe. A removable sockliner provides a responsive first feel.

24mm heel height, 12mm forefoot height.

Outsole: X-10™ featured in this shoe is the most durable carbon rubber that allows for longer wear in high impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike. SmoothRide Engineered, a solid rubber forefoot outsole design for durability and cushioning, now with flex controllers built to optimize flexibility.

Available in width B (Medium).

Gender Engineering: The Wave® Rider™ 15 addresses the fundamental differences between the way men and women run. Through extensive research, Mizuno has learned that creating shoes that fit closer to these specific running styles, performance is maximized.

Women have a wider pelvis than men causing them to pronate more when their feet land. Additionally, less muscle mass and softer connective tissue in women increases the speed at which the ankle rolls inward. By making their shoes more flexible with more pronounced flex grooves and the outside heel more rounded, Mizuno produced a softer landing, slowing the inward roll of the ankle, producing a more desired result for female runners.

Shoefitr uses 3D scanners to collect a shoe's internal measurements.

The measurements of your current shoe are compared to the one you want...

...and Shoefitr recomments the best fit.

      Comments about Mizuno Wave Rider 15 Limited Edition Ruby/Crystal Lady:

      I am a female runner who has run for 15 yrs. Recently I encountered the plight of a nasty heel spur which pushed me to research holistic and OTC methods to reduce the heel pain, post a training run. After reading the reviews on these shoes, (plus I have a friend who owns a pair)- I decided to buy them and see if it would help with my heel pain.

      The shoes, combined with a few other treatment options, really helped to get me "back on the road." It had been over 4 months since I ran consistently and without debilitating pain.

      I would recommend these shoes for their comfort, arch & heel support and fit.

      One of the reviews I read said to buy a half size larger than what one normally wears; I did and the shoes fit just right. So, I would recommend that when purchasing these, buy a half size larger.

      The only "con" ~ I didn't see these offered in solid black, or a cool gray color....I would've bought more than just one pair!

          Comments about Mizuno Wave Rider 15 Limited Edition Ruby/Crystal Lady:

          I had a pair of purple Wave Rider 15's that were close to being retired. I saw the Limited Edition pair and really loved the color but couldn't justify buying another pair at full price. I was so glad to finally find them here. They are even better looking than pictured! They are a nice dark raspberry color, almost red. I also have a pair of Wave Rider 16's but I actually like the 15's better. My feet are on the narrow side (high arch, neutral pronation) and Mizuno shoes have worked the best for me. They have moderate support and are lightweight. The Wave Rider 15's are my absolute favorite running shoes. I am normally an 8-8.5 in athletic shoes and wear a 9 in these.

            Awesome shoes! Lighter and more comfortable then I expected. I have a high expectation of Mizuno's and they were beyond my expectation.
