Mizuno Wave Rider 15 
Posted: 16/04/12
'Fine to begin with but cushioning went too quickly.'
Strengths:
Fit was good, felt nice to run in.
Weaknesses:
After 300 training miles the cushioning was nowhere near enough for means knee pain reared it's ugly head. I am fully aware that I could expect the cushioning to last between 300 and 500 miles but for a 100 pound pair of shoes I was still disappointed. Returned to my Nike Air Pegasus plus 28 which have 500 miles already on them and the knee pain has gone despite no change in weekly mileage.

I guess I shouldn't have expected them to offer as much cushioning but having gone to a running shop ready for my first marathon as suggested I thought I'd have more miles from them.
Overall:
As a 75kg runner I'm trying the Saucony Triumph 8s next. The Wave Rider 15 were ok but I guess I need more cushioning and greater life span.

'Vile taste, just not for me at all.'
Strengths:
Mixes well, not much else.
Weaknesses:
Personally I found it tasted terrible and would not go for it again, this one was a sample chocolate flavour and I'm genuinely tempted to not bother with the strawberry sample. Packaging over vacuumed too, making it tough to open without spills.
Overall:
First try will be the one and only.
