    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    Mizuno Wave Rider 16 road-running shoes supply excellent cushioning for neutral runners looking to put lots of miles behind them.

    • Copolymer midsole material is responsive and lightweight, and offers increased rebound for great momentum at toe-off
    • Mizuno Wave® midsole technology disperses impact uniformly over length/width of midsole, providing unrivaled cushioning
    • Thermoplastic elastomer in high-impact area of heels resists compression to absorb shock and enhance cushioning
    • The midsole minimizes rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, resulting in a wonderfully smooth ride
    • Carbon rubber outsoles deliver cushioning, flexibility and long wear in high-impact areas
    • Mizuno Wave Rider 16 road-running shoes proudly carry the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association

        Comments about Mizuno Wave Rider 16 Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

        This is my fourth pair of these. When I put them on for my morning runs it's like giving my feet a big hug! I love running in them. The only drawback is that they do seem burn out fairly quickly (I average 20 mi/week, and within 6mo I will have burned completely through the treads in areas). It wouldn't be so bad, but being a poor college student, offering up $100+ dollars every 4-6 mo (I know I should change them out more) is challenging financially.

            Light, comfortable running shoe. Mizuno used to run very small, but this one actually fits.

              Comments about Mizuno Wave Rider 16 Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

              I loved the Mizuno Wave Rider 15s after having hated the 14s, so I was skeptical about another change. Decided I would try them because of REI's stellar return policy and actually really like them. For a 3x/week runner, the change between the 15 and 16 was minimal although the seem to be a bit lighter in overall weight and are less bulky than the 15s. I am hopeful that I will be able to get 350-450 miles out of them this year.
