In addition to featuring the Mizuno Echo MP3 Running Tee, the April issue of Shape magazine also includes their Spring 2010 Shoe Awards, in which the Mizuno Wave Rider 13 running shoe was recognized as the "Best for Speed." Shape Editor Sarah Bowen Shea is famous for conducting some of the most thorough and intensive shoe reviews, so being recognized in this publication is a very high honor for Mizuno!

Here is what Shape Magazine has to say about the Mizuno Wave Rider 13 running shoe:

Who needs it: Runners intent on picking up their pace What is offers: This neutral shoe offers a smidgen of pronation control. "It's light and stable, which made me feel fast," said one racer. The upper has "lots of mesh" to improve ventilation and provide "some give in the toe box." Nubs on the front half of the outsole enhance traction, which "makes hill climbing easier."
