Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Creation 14 Running Shoe:

I started running 8 years ago at age 41, and struggled with IT band issues. I tried many shoe types. Since I got my first pair of Wave Creation 9s, I train for and run 6-10 half marathons a year, and have never had another IT band problem. The only issue with my new 14s is the gaudy pink/black color offered in the store.

I do most of my working out at the gym with a personal trainer. I spend time on the treadmill and also doing high intensity circuit training. I LOVE these shoes. My nikes wore out so quickly and had no support and were sliding around on the floor everywhere. With these I can jump around and not worry about my knees or slipping. Recommend highly!

I recently tried to switch up my shoes-- going from Asics to these. While they are lightweight, I did not feel the same comfort as I did in my Asics. The Mizunos hurt the outsides of my feet, and my runs were uncomfortable. I switched back to my trusty Asics. I love the new Asics Nimbus in the gray/coral.

This must be my ninth or tenth pair of Wave Creations. I've tried both the Prophecy & Enigma and still prefer this model. Of the Prophecy & Enigma I preferred the Prophecy. I use the Enigmas now only for non-impact activities.

I typically run 20-24 miles a week and run half-marathons a few times a year. I'm 58yo F 5'7" and my average weight ~150. This shoe gives me the comfort & support I need. Due to history of plantar fasciitis I do use inserts (PowerSteps) which combined with these shoes have kept me symptom-free for years now.

As a neutral runner with high arches I have put over 500 miles on each of my last two pairs. I just started with these this week. After the first 10 minutes I totally forgot I had new shoes on and will only have about 20-24 miles on them by the time I run my half-marathon a week from tomorrow.

For me, they are a worhtwhile investment, as I'd like to keep running as long as I can.

This is my 12th pair of Wave Creations. I've worn every generation since 9 and have also tried the Prophecy & Precision 13 among others. These are by far my favorite creations to date. Mizuno seems to have corrected the issue with their last generation of mesh stretching out/easily tearing with a breathable new mesh that also seems to stay cleaner longer. My biggest complaint with this shoe (as well as the prophecy) is the speed at which I wear through the outer heel rubber. It doesn't take me long to get down to the plastic wave plate and as one of the pricier Mizunos available, I wish this didn't happen so quickly. In an effort to reduce my heel-strike (and prolong the life of my beloved creations), I purchased a pair of the Evo Levitas. Switching between these shoes was reccomended by my local Shoe Dog expert. I will review that shoe as well.

I'm on the treadmill or road for 12-20 miles per week and these shoes feel good to me. Arch feels right, toes have room, and I don't completely lose the feel of the surface I'm running on.
