This is the fourth pair of prophecy shoes I’ve had (3,4,5,7). I used to wear 10.5s but felt that the last pair was a little close to my toes. These give me a bit more room but my foot is still held firmly and comfortably.
I love these shoes. I routinely put 600-700 miles of street/urban running on them and they show minimal wear. Other shoes only last about 500 miles. I run 2-5 miles regularly but have also worn prophecys for a half marathon.

A few months ago, I ordered this shoe in a size 9, and was disappointed when they were too small. I just received the size 9.5 and they fit great. Thus I would recommend ordering a half size up. I love the grey with the fluorescent green logo!

I had a pair of Wave Prophecy 5s that lasted two years, replaced due to wear on the soles. These replacement Phrophecy 7s are already "clicking" when just a little bit damp and not holding up as well, and not as comfortable.

I have a pair of the original Wave Prophecy and was looking forward to this new pair. But I was very disappointed to find out that this version is cut much more narrow than the original model. Normally in Mizuno running shoes my somewhat wide foot fits great in a D width--not so with this Wave Prophecy 7. Returning this pair.

This edition runs WAY too narrow compared to previous versions. My husband even tried 2 sizes up. At which point, the length became way to long for him just to be able to get his foot in the shoes because it’s too narrow. He has 5 pairs of previous Prophecies and was very disappointed in this Prophecy 7. This is a big fail for Mizuno. Had this been what their shoes always felt like, he would have never owned a single pair. MAJOR FAIL

BILATERAL KNEE PAIN. Whoa! Used Wave Creations for the last 15 years without problems. Hated the color schemes offered to U.S. customers (clownish. Have you noticed they offer better color combo's to Asia and UK?) Chose these more expensive Prophesies because they have better colors. Experienced bi-lateral knee pain after only 2 miles of running. Soles are stiff and lots of foot noise. I'm a heel striker. --continued pain for 2 days. Switched back to Wave Creation 19's (no issues except the colors). Your mileage may vary--BEWARE!!

The only shoes that gave me a pain free run after suffering 2 major knee surgeries, the last one was an HTO that recovery lasted longer than expected, running was a challenge, I thought I will never be able to run again but luckily I landed on this pair of shoes that gave me hope again. I went back to running and even other sports like volleyball with this same shoes.

BLUF: I was never a runner, couldn't get into it due to my constant feet, joints and leg pains, specially debilitating shin splint condition. I was never able to run more than 2 days in a row. But all that changed thanks to the Wave Prophecy shoes.
I first tried the Wave Prophecy 5 after wasting years and money on other named brand shoes that were supposed to help with my shin splints. None of them worked. In a single year of using the Wave Prophecy 5, I ran 700 miles and I no longer experience shin splints. On my best months, I've ran over 120 miles. I can't stress enough that I have never ran that much in a year. But being able to run pain free, along with a commitment to running, I was able to achieve something I never thought possible.
I needed new shoes, and I knew I had to stick with Wave Prophecy and got the 7s in blue and gold. They're just as good if not better than my 5s. It took me 2 runs to break them in (8-10 miles). During those 2 runs I did feel some joint and muscle soreness, specially the bottom of my feet due to the sole. I tried using my 5s as part of transitioning into my 7s, but I just couldn't go back to the 5s after experiencing the 7s.
Overall, the shoes are a great fit for my wide feet. They have great traction even on wet and snowy pavement. I noticed that I can get my feet well secured in the shoe without having the laces too tied up around my feet. I actually keep them loose and just mildly tighten them around my ankle with the runners loop. My feet stay in place. I usually am a size 11, but on this shoes, I'm an 11.5. I'm on track to run over 1000 miles this year and all pain free.
I would totally recommend everyone to give this shoe a serious consideration if they suffer from shin splints. What you gain from this shoe was totally worth the price. I'll only be buying Wave Prophecy shoes.

I have worn Mizuno running shoes before, but this is my first pair of Wave Prophecy, although it’s a pricey shoe it is well worth it.

I ordered these for my son, he loves them. We did need to order a half a size larger than he typically wears. Zappos was very easy to order from, shoes arrived next day. We did have to make an exchange but, that was extremely easy. Best customer service!!! Thank you

Mizuno Wave Prophecy 7 - is not my first time buy. I love this series of shoes. They are super comfortable and does not cause any pain to my knees and very styles. I will keep buying in the future too. This time by luck I got a great deal.
