Mizuno Wave® Prophecy SKU: #7805122

Talk about a running shoe that was made for a neutral runner...feels like floating on clouds. The energy return on the Prophecy's are just amazing. Today was my first run on the pavement, have been running on the treadmill. Both running experiences were great, but the difference was very perceptible on the road. Almost bounced off the pavement. A huge Mizuno fan, and have been running with the Wave Creations as well. Highly recommend giving these a try.

I am a long time fan of Mizuno products (shoes and golf clubs), and have owned five different generations of their Wave Creation. In more recent years the Creation was too narrow or too wide and just felt less than I had come to expect (so I ran in Asics). I have only owned these shoes for one day (will post a more extensive running impressions at a later date) but they are already the best fitting and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Thanks Mizuno and Zappos!

I usually buy Nike Air Max's. This shoe has very cushioned support. Great shoe to wear on the street. Meets expectations on wave design vs. Air Max support. Supplies you with a "cushion of air" feeling. I have not spent much time, so cannot comment on how the wave support feels after many hours on your feet.

Excellent shoes! I havent owned a pair of Mizuno running shoes in years. Thought id give them a try. Im coming out of a pair of Asics and was looking for a change. i highly recommend the Prophecy. I weigh 200 lbs. and run about 30 miles a week. These shoes really take the pounding!

I'm a heavy runner and also have plantar fascia. I must have orthotics in able to keep up with running. I'm able to use the orthotics (without the Mizuno insole) and still benefit from Prophecy's features. I'm able to run every day without shin pain or heel pain. They really take a pounding on the street or treadmill. These are by far my favorite running shoe. I'm so pleased I spent the extra money on the better quality running shoe. I look forward to my running more now that I have no pain afterward. I would also recommend not using this for regular training. I find this are strictly for running.

These shoes are great even better with super feet inserts. I run 4.5 miles a day and these shoe hold up very well. They fit well and absorb road impact very well. I will definitely purchase these again.

These are by far and away the BEST pair of running shoes I have ever worn! Period! I've been wearing Mizuno Wave Creation for a while but the Prophecy blows them away! It's really hard to describe the level of comfort with these shoes--it's literally like walking/running on clouds with lots of support on the right spots. I've tried all kinds of Saucony's, Brooks, Asics, Adidas, and other brands, but I've always come back to Mizuno. Experts say that if you're a runner you must replace your shoes every 500 miles or so. A few weeks ago I began to develop some knee discomfort. When I replaced my old Mizunos with this pair, the paid little by little subsided. Yes, they're pricey my friends, but take it from a very picky runner, once you put these shoes on, you'll neve want to wear anything else! :^)
