FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize Mizuno's running-derived Wave Technology, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for daily wear rather than high-performance running.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
Mizuno sizing generally follows standard athletic sizing; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather components and adhesive bonds. Hand-cleaning is recommended.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof, but you can apply a leather-safe water repellent spray to provide a layer of protection against light rain.
Who designed this silhouette?
The Wave Rider 10 was originally designed by iconic footwear designer Tuan Lee.
Troubleshooting
Outer material looks dull after long-term wear
Use a high-quality leather cream or polish suitable for black footwear to restore the natural luster.
Creasing appears in the leather toe box
This is normal for genuine leather; insert shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stuck in the mesh sections
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature high-quality leather, they do not require a complex break-in period, though wearing them for shorter durations initially can help them contour to your feet. Compatibility is high, as the black colorway pairs easily with denim or tech-wear trousers. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. If the leather gets wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to crack. Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the upper supple and protected against the elements.
