Never wavered at all. I would say whatever size you wear for one, you'd wear for the other. And obviously I never tried the 18 yet (SERIOUSLY WHY DO THEY NEED TO HAVE 18 VERSIONS?????), but the 16 and the 17 felt EXACTLY the same to me.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-26346481592835844672014-10-08T18:06:29.749-04:002014-10-08T18:06:29.749-04:00I got my shoes today and they are the Wave Rider 1...I got my shoes today and they are the Wave Rider 18. Since this is my first pair of Mizunos, I have nothing to compare it to, but I wanted to ask you if you generally were the same size in each style or do some run bigger or smaller than others? I'm torn if I want to go up a size or not but was going to go to the running store and try on the 17's ( because they don't have the 18 yet) to see if the next size up would be better. I am so indecisive when it comes to shoes...lol Thanks for any help you can provide.

I was having issues wearing my old shoes since my injury so I went in for a new analysis and got fitted for a totally different brand/style and bought a pair from them. I bought a second pair online for cheaper but I do like getting that first pair from them when I would've been so screwed without their advice!

But when it comes to local shops, I do make a significant effort to shop them. I always buy my running shoes from my local shop because I'd be sad if they go out of business and I can't go in for that custom gait analysis and fitting.<br />I'm not judging you, but if that local place goes out of business, don't complain that there's no well informed running expert around to help you find the perfect fit.Jessica @ RunYourMuttOffhttp://www.runyourmuttoff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-29386235393569938452014-10-08T10:47:58.961-04:002014-10-08T10:47:58.961-04:00What kind did you order?What kind did you order?Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-71184248963443927292014-10-08T10:42:56.041-04:002014-10-08T10:42:56.041-04:00I'm going to be getting my first pair of Mizun...I'm going to be getting my first pair of Mizunos this week and I am anxious to see which ones I am sent!
