Design and Style
How will you look in these shoes?
The Mizuno shoes are considered by most to be beautiful, tasteful and stylish.
Durability
How long will this shoe last for you? How do the shoes behave under repeated wear?
The Mizuno Wave shoes are extremely durable, owing to Mizuno's durable carbon rubber that is very resistant to wear in high impact areas.
Low Cost
How much can you expect to pay for the shoes? As a rule of thumb, running shoes should be replaced every 300-400 miles. If you plan to run a lot, price may become an important factor.
The Mizuno Wave Creation 8 shoes are not cheap.
Support
How much support does the shoe provide you with? Will you be able to use orthodics if you need them?
The Mizuno Wave Creation shoes have excellent support whether you run short or long distances, and regardless of which terrain you run on.
Lightweight
It is usually better for running shoes to be as lightweight as possible. However, this often means less support, less cushioning and perhaps shorter lifespan.
At 10oz (285g), the Wave Creation shoes are lightweight and comfortable to run in.
Comfort
Running is a shock (impact) intensive sport. Running shoes usually have some mechanism for shock absorption, protecting your feet and allowing you to run further and for longer periods of time.
Many runners comment that the Mizuno Wave Creation shoes are really comfortable to run in.

Love this shoe! I have been running for the past two years and this is by far my shoe of choice. Excellent support for short and long distance running on treadmill and trail with or without socks. Inserts provide additional support for runners with high arches. This is my 3rd pair and I use old shoes when running shorter distances.

Great shoe

I've been using the Wave Creations for years. Good shoe if you need a neutral shoe with good cushion/ shock absorption- I use it with an insert orthotic. Good for moderate to longer distances.

Love these shoes!

Love these shoes! This is my second pair and I am going to rotate them with my others. Have been running in them for ~ 1 year and have had no problems. I previously had a stress fracture from running and these were the only shoes I could run in and not hurt. Now I just run in them because I love them.
