Just a heads up if you are having trouble locating Wide Mizunos........
I have been wearing Mizuno Wave Riders in a Wide width for the past 2 years. All of a sudden I couldn't find them anywhere so I called the company. Apparently, they no longer make wide shoes for women, but the product is still available. All you have to do is go down 1.5 in size and order a men's medium width which is equivalent to a ladies' D. The rep told me they are EXACTLY the same shoe. The only difference now is that if you require a wide width, you will only be able to get it in a men's color, which is fine with me.
Just to put it to the test, I ordered a size 8 regular mens shoe (I usually buy a 9.5 ladies wide). They arrived today and they feel perfect. When I compared them with my old shoes, not only are they completely identical, but the European size markings are exactly the same. This is such great news I just had to share it.
