Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave® Creation™ 13

The best shoes I have ever worn. These are amazing. I can't wait to put them on everyday. I would buy every color available.

Most comfortable running shoe EVER!! Supports arch, cushions heel and cradles foot in a way that prapells each step forward.

Love these!! Didn't even need to break them in. First time I wore them I ran 5 miles. No blisters or rub spots. Very comfortable. Definitely absorb road impact. Wear size 9 and ordered size 9. Fit perfectly.

I ordered a half size larger as many other reviewers suggested, but returned for my normal size 10 (which fit perfectly). Super cush support if you suffer from planter fasciitis like me. I put them on as soon as I get out of bed - when my feet hurt the most - and don't take them off again until bed time. I picked the Sun orange (love) and will be coming back for another color!

I'm a fairly big woman, but an athletic one. I've dealt with shin splints and plantar fasciitis, and have had a hard time finding anything that lasts for more than 2-3 months of running and regular wear. Well, I think I finally found it. These rock, and are worth every penny. They're true to size, though perhaps slightly narrow, and have awesome cushioning while allowing flexibility in the foot. I ordered and tried 6-7 different pairs (mostly Nike and Asics) before landing on these. These are by far the best. Also: the orange is really cool. I get lots of compliments. I wish Zappos/Mizuno had more good, not-super-girly colors to choose from.

After having suffered ankle tendonitis in the past, I'm very particular about what I put on my feet. I'm a fitness instructor at 3 local clubs and am in my Mizuno shoes for roughly 14 hours a week. The Wave Creation allows for great lateral movement without digging into my ankles. They offer great support without the heel being too high. After years and years of wearing shoes that hurt my feet, I will now only allow Wave Creation to be on my feet. Highly recommend!

A great shoe. Superior support in a lightweight, breathable shoe. Allows for greater distance with no pain in shins, knees, or hips which are a problem with other shoes. Heel of shoe tapers a bit so feels like an earth shoe at first, but the transition was easy after a few runs. Has an elastic strap under tongue which adds support; nice feature. Highly recommend this shoe for frequent runners.

Love the shoe (does run 1/2 size small). The color is great. Get compliments every time I wear them. Very comfy but do order 1/2 size up.

My feet are super happy! I simply adore these shoes! They feel like a glove made for my feet. They seem to stretch and to give support in the all the right places. Plus the colors are pretty stylish. I absolutely love these shoes!

This is my go-to running/gym shoe. I have a neutral lie and it has a slight pitch forward which I like since it encourages me to land on the ball of my foot rather than heel strike. Super comfortable, order a size or two up. I wear an 8 in high heels, 8.5 in flats and wear 9.5 in Mizunos.

I absolutely love these shoes! I am on my feet almost all nine hours of my work day and they are comfortable the entire time. I have had four legs surgeries that require lots of cushioning and arch support in my shoes and these shoes are just what I needed. I bought the bright orange color because it is my favorite color and it did not disappoint. I have received several compliments on the shoe color and style and then I get to tell the individuals about how great the shoe fits and how comfortable it is after that. Overall these shoes are great for long standing work days and weight training workouts.

I have a high arch and need a wide toe box. This shoe has the best arch support of any shoe I have worn. The toe box is wide without being sloppy. I really like this shoe.

Way better than the Creation 12! The 12's ran too narrow in the toe area and were extremely HARD under the heel. The new 13's seem to have addressed the issues. First, I have a high arch and smaller feet, so the 12 shouldn't have been a problem. The Creation 13's are much more comfortable, even under the heel area. I use these for gym workouts and elliptical. My feet don't hurt even after 40 minutes on the elliptical. They are too clunky to wear around town as the bottoms get caught on a lot of stuff, but as a running / workout shoe, they get the job done. BTW, I have in-stable ankles and plantar fasciitis and these shoes get the job done. Very stable, but without the arch pain that usually comes from stability shoes.

Nice sneakers, colorful, light, moderate-good support. Not the best fit for my 50 plus feet, but w/inserts works great. Runs size small, not wide at all (bought W)! particularly in the heel. I had to exchange to one full size larger. Good for summer (light mesh breathable) and dry fall weather; open sole design elevates from ground without adding to weight, providing decent support, if ground wet, will not soak much in.

Great shoe! My foot is wide and I need a good support shoe. The Wave Creation 13 has been one of the most comfortable and functional sneakers I have ever worn. I will definitely be sticking with this shoe.

Mizuno are always great running shoes and this pair is no exception. Very comfortable pair and feels lighter on. I own probably 2 other types of Mizuno running shoes and I can honestly say that this isn't my number one for running purposes especially for seriously runners. Nevertheless, it is an okay shoe and passes the test with comfort, weight, built and purpose. I am a size 8 but purchased a 8.5 due to prior experience with other Mizuno running shoes. 8.5 doesn't feel any different from size 8. For the average runner, this pair will serve the purpose.

A friend recommended these shoes to me for work (I work on my feet all day in a hospital as a physical therapist) and I love them. I can be on my feet for 10+ hours during the day without my feet aching or feeling fatigued. The great flashy colors are also a plus too, I always get compliments from my co-workers and patients. The lightweight base you get with Mizuno shoes is also great for running, I use other Mizuno shoes for running, but have not yet tried these out when running.

So I bought these about a month or two ago and I love them and hate them. It seems that no matter what I am doing in these after an hour they make my feet go numb! It is the most uncomfortable feeling. The first time I ran in them my feet were so numb after 15 minutes I had to stop. I was convinced it was because I had not broken them in yet so I wore them around my house and to do errands, and yet my feet started to go numb after 30 minutes to an hour. I have never had this problem with any other brands (I own several pairs of Nike, Asics, New Balance) and don't have any foot problems. I find the numb foot thing very strange. Aside though I love the way the shoe feels when I wear them (prior to my feet going numb) and the design and colors. It has great arch support and I have pretty high arches and is a high quality shoe. I just wish they didn't make my feet go numb! Anyways I will continue to wear them and hope the numb foot thing will go away!

Overall a great shoe. Fits perfectly (I always wear an 8 1/2 and ordered an 8 1/2) and the fit is fabulous. I have received numerous compliments on my color choice (Sangria). Personally, I feel they are overpriced though. I have never paid this much for a shoe, but they are living up to their reputation so far. I just wish they were less expensive.

I purchased this shoe two days ago and wore it for running and developed inflammation of my toe - Called Zappos and asked if under these exceptional circumstances I could return it. I was informed by the representative that as a year ago I returned a Fit Flop that on wearing differed from the identical shoe size ordered previously no action could be taken by Zappos. I had used my 'lifetime exception'. I find this extremely disappointing and discouraging. I have been a regular customer of Zappos for a significant number of years and spent a considerable amount of money with the company. Second thoughts next time? Certainly!

Unfortunately I had worn these outside on the trail before really realizing how big they are. My foot was a sloppy mess inside, sliding all over. I love the looks, but that is about it.

Worst shoe ever. I thought this was going to be a good choice but after one run I returned them. They gave me shin splints and hurt my knees. I would quickly choose a $20 pair from Target over these shoes.

These are incredibly comfortable - but word of caution - the pink shoes which I bought stained my socks on a short 2 mile run - when I was barely sweating. I can't imagine how pink my feet will be after I really run in these. Seems like a design flaw to me - a running shoe's color should really just stay on the shoe!
