Fall is officially here and I love it. At work I have an interior office with no windows, so when I get outside at the end of the day and see it is beautiful out I want to spend as much time enjoying it as possible.
One of the ways I love enjoying the weather most is through running. The trees are beautiful, the bugs are minimal, and the weather is just cool enough that you can enjoy a run without feeling hot.
Josh and I love using running as a way to explore new-to-us neighborhoods and areas in Omaha. We like to point out houses and imagine what life would be like living there. We listen to music. We high-five. We unwind.

A staple in my runs is a pair of Mizunos. I have run many races in the Mizuno Wave Rider 17s
Mizunos just work for me. To be honest, I haven’t tried a Mizuno shoe I haven’t liked. I’m a neutral runner with pretty low maintenance feet. I need a lightweight shoe with a little support to keep my feet cushioned and comfy for the ride. These shoes are 7.8 ounces (light!) and have a 12 mm drop.
I remember the Wave Rider 17s taking a race to fully break in, but I found that wasn’t the case with the Wave Rider 18s. Throughout my first run they were feeling fantastic, just like with my Mizuno Wave Sayonaras. My foot was snug in place, without being too confined or compressed.
The motion in these shoes is great! Maybe it’s because I’ve been running so many trail runs lately, but it amazes me how flexible non-trail running shoes are. I love it!
Me whizzing to the finish line.
I’m so fast I blurred the camera! 😉
These shoes are truly great, and ones I would recommend to family, friends, and you.
If you’re looking to buy your very first pair of running shoes, I recommend going to a local running store and getting fitted by a specialist. They can tell you if you more about your feet and what type of shoes they need. I don’t mess around with running shoes. Good ones are worth their weight in gold.
Questions of the Day: Have you tried Mizunos? What is your favorite season to run in? Do you need neutral or stability shoes?
Love my Mizuno Wave Runners… I’ll definitely be adding the 18’s to my Christmas List this year!! 🙂
You will love them!
I reviewed the Wave Rider (17?) and I remember them taking time to break it too. I’m glad to hear that these were different 🙂
Yes! They were comfy right from the start which I appreciated!
I love the colors of these shoes too! And I agree – fall is the very best time for running
Running shoes keep getting cuter and cuter!
Im walking a half marathon in January.
I want I want 🙂
Ohh how fun! You would love these!
Fall is my absolute favorite season to run in – Now if only Georgia would get the memo that I need my fall weather now!
I will be wishing I’m in Georgia in February and March!
Great review! I have run in these and a ton of other Mizuno models — my favorite is the Mizuno Cursaris which was sadly discontinued. snifff
If they discontinue my Wave Sayonaras I will cry!
Fall is such a great time to run!
I love fall! If only it wasn’t followed by winter!
Fall is hands down the best time of year to run. I’ve been slightly frustrated this year, though, b/c it has been warmer than normal. I love running in the 40s to around 50 and many of my morning runs (pre-dawn even) have stayed in the 60s.
Good review and great pictures!
We’re supposed to be getting down into the 40s and 50s soon. Eek I’m nervous for that cold weather!
Love the shoes, the color and design are very nice. I also like fall weather for running, when its still not cold, but the leaves started to turn in different colors.
Running in the fall colors is beautiful!
I still can’t get over how much I love the colors of these shoes. Black is my go-to for athletic shoes!
I’m all about the colors! I love how these have teal in them!
Never worn Mizunos! I love the color of those shoes!
Mizunos are my go-to. They make my feet happy on runs!
I haven’t tried Mizuno’s before but I do need new running shoes, so maybe I will look into these! Great post!
Thanks Katie! I love Mizunos! They’re my favorite running shoe brand!
I LOVE mizuno, but I need a little more support so I can’t wear the wave riders. Though I am totally in love with the colour scheme of those ones.
There are some really cute stabilizing shoes out there! What shoes do you wear to run in?
I wear the Mizuno Wave Inspire’s
These shoes look like the perfect pair for me! I am in the market for a new pair of runnin shoes and these look like they would be the best. I love that they are neutral but still provide good cushioning.
I am in love with these shoes. Mizuno always makes the best running stuff!
I love the colors on those sneakers!
Me too! I think they’re so pretty!
Super pretty shoes! Having the correct shoes as a runner is super important!
Yes! I didn’t realized how important proper shoes are when I first started running. Thankfully it’s a lesson I learned quickly, and without injury!
Great photos!
Love the shoes!!
Thanks Nicole! I love Mizuno!
YES! These shoes are awesome!
I love them so much!
