Mizuno

Love these! A little more narrow than the wave inspire 8, but still good! I wish they had some that are less bright!

The last four pairs of running shoes I have owned are Mizuno's. I have wide feet and I have a size 11. I normally have to shop mens shoes so I can get the proper shoe size and support. I love Mizunos! The only change I make to my shoes is I have to get an additional heel support but it goes right under the sole liner and only costs around $8. Totally worth the price. I make sure to buy a new pair every year so I can run with no injuries. I had bad knee problems before using the Mizuno shoes. I also love the color! They turned out to be more red than pink which is a good thing. The picture makes the shoes look pink.

I love these shoes. They're extremely comfortable and cushiony. They are a little wide in the toe box and seem to run long. They also don't provide as smooth a run as Nike Free Run. They seem to clod a little more. But they have a lot more spring in them than most minimalist shoes and I like that.

Overall, a comfortable and stylish shoe, although not as soft or smooth as a running one. This shoe is intended for baseball, which I didn't really read, but it's still a very comfy one. Still, it's a Mizuno; you can't go wrong with Mizuno.

I have weird issues with these shoes I haven't had with other Mizunos or other brands. Namely, I can feel the structural support making a line across my foot (just in front of the ball of my foot), but only in the right shoe. My feet feel oddly asymmetric with them on for that reason. They also run at least a half size large (compared to most other size 12.5 running shoes); the heels don't slip but the toe box feel cavernous and loose, which can be a problem on uneven surfaces. Make sure to try yours on and maybe hit the treadmill once or twice before taking to the streets or trails. Not sure if it's me or the shoes, but this isn't a love connection, especially for the price.

I'm a runner who likes a stiff ride, lots of control, and lots of cushioning. These shoes have helped me increase my distance and endurance. I especially recommend them for heavier runners or folks who tend to plod (I work on distance/endurance more than speed).

I usually buy Asics Nimbus. Because I need a very cushioned shoe. But the last pair I bought, Nimbus 13 and had a seam that killed my left foot. Thought I'd try Creation after talking to a friend. Very comfortable shoe. May not be quite as comfy as my Nimbus used to be. But good over all. The color is very bright but I am getting used to it.

I love these shoes! I have never had a pair of Mizunos before and took a chance on ordering them. They are perfect! I used to love my Nike shox, but I have had problems with the front of my feet and felt like they were putting too much pressure on my toes, so I tried these and all is well! I am now a loyal Mizuno fan.

My husband has these shoes and just loves them. He is now on his second pair of this exact style. From what he's experienced with his wide foot, this is a great fit. He has plenty of room throughout the foot and especially the toe box area, which he had problems with in a few other shoes. He always talks about how comfortable the shoes are.

I did not like these shoes. I bought these for plantar fasciitis and knee pain. They have very little cushion to them and feel flat and hard. I wore them for a 5k race and ended up with peroneal tendinitis. Will never wear them to run again. I stuck with these shoes and cannot afford another pair so I am very disappointed.

I'm in love! These are my 3rd pair of Mizuno Wave Elixir but not my last. They are my favorite shoes for distance running by far & are a perfect fit & comfortable to run in right out if the box. My first wear with these was a half marathon & they were perfect! They have a good width in the toe box too so no sore feet!

I LOVE these running shoes! I had my running gait analyzed and these ending up being the perfect shoe for me. I had terrible shin splints but after buying these Mizunos, I have no trouble whatsoever with my shins. When I first wore them, I could tell that they were "correcting" the way I ran and gave me the right support for my over pronation. Great stability, super comfortable, and feel lightweight. The soles are built for impact and the mesh upper is flexible and not stiff like some of my other shoes "built for stability" have been. DEFINITELY worth every penny!

These shoes rock! I get Brooks and their Pure Project line all the time but Brooks does not make a good middle of the road shoe in terms of cushioning. The Ravenna and others are too cushioned, uncomfortable and push your foot here or there. I tried Mizunos awhile ago and just like before, these fit perfectly right out of the box and are just great. They feel like you don't even have any shoes on.

I was looking for a support shoe and I purchased this based on my needs. This support shoe like 99% of them has the "new" lower heel which forces you to have a midsole strike which puts less pressure on the joints, but also puts all the pressure on the muscle. This is fine, but I'm on the heavy side for a runner and it makes my calfs burn so bad I can hardly run. This is not the fault of the shoe necessarily, almost every new shoe is made this way. I use them for walking now and I love them, and they look great.

I had been wearing Asic Gel Nimbus 13s which I loved because they provided a lot of cushion and wiggle room in the toes (I got them in EE). I bought the Asic Gel Nimbus 14 and they had a totally different feel so I gave the Mizunos a try. I have been running indoors in them for about 2 months and I think they are great. Not quite as much cushion as the Nimbus 13 but still plenty of support to absorb the shock and toe room a plenty. This is my first pair of Mizunos and I would highly recommend them. I also have pretty sensitive feet so I'm very finicky about my comfort level when buying shoes.

Before I bought Wave Rider 16, I wear Asics Gel Kayano 17. I thought Kayano 17 were the most comfortable sneaks, but I was wrong! It turned out that Wave Rider 16 way more comfortable plus...they are so light! My feet are still fine after I ran for 25 minutes! I run almost every day. They are true to size and I love the color.

I love Mizunos. I'm no longer a recreational runner but I've never found a fit that rivals their shoes. I'm an under-pronator (I run on the outside edge of my feet) with a very wide foot and Morton's toe (i.e. I have a second toe which is longer than my big toe). Mizunos stabilize my foot and make my movements more secure. Make sure you know your gait style: neutral, over-pronator, under-pronator, as it will affect which Mizunos shoe you should select. I did find that these run a half size small. Great width. These are my go-to athletic shoes.

This shoe is great. I have a dedicated pair just for running because they are so comfortable. I also had the Wave Rider 15s and I think these are very comparable. The only thing I don't like about them is that they are only available in the ugly yellow for size 14EE.

I've tried many, many shoes, and it's usually a let down. Brooks, for example, will feel great on the carpet or initial treadmill trial, but after a few weeks I have to abandon them. These shoes were my hope for a zero drop (that is what I am most comfortable with) with padding somewhere between my Vibrams and my Altra Instincts 1.5. These seem to be the sweet spot. No store carries them locally, and it's probably a good thing. Out of the box, just standing in the living room they didn't strike me as comfortable. A bit too loose (although I have learned my lesson on leaving some room with minimal shoes) and an odd liner with a bit up a bump to the middle area. After a few weeks, I have found the fit to be true to size. Lots of room! But my feet are not moving around in them. Got the laces just right (they are a bit odd and easy to get too snug in the arch area while not really helping to tighten the overall feel?). And the most important thing: they are very neutral with just a bit of padding. I can do Vibrams but with 30 miles a month it takes a lot of focus to keep from getting sore feet. On the trail, I'll stick with my Salomon SLab Sense (the superb traction and modest heel wedge makes sense), but for street running this is my new favorite.

These shoes are awesome. Besides being made with awesome colors, they help with my pronation problem so it no longer hurts to run. Definitely worth the money.
