I took to finding the perfect shoe with relentless determination. I discovered there is no such thing as a perfect shoe but several really great shoes. I will never be a pro athlete but I will try to keep my blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar within normal and thank goodness I don't have to be a pro athlete to achieve my goals. I walk and bike and use the treadmill to jog. I use 3 different types of Brooks and have added the Mizuno. Personally I have discovered I need more than one type of shoe. Some days I am a heel striker other days I am not,some days I over pronate somedays I don't. The shoes are pricey,but for me monthly medication would be more costly. And in defense of the shoes there is a lot of technology we are getting for the price. However I wish more shoe companies would add "narrow" and "wide" options. Lastly socks are so important, I have great shoes and was wearing my husbands old socks, so I spent a few weeks researching socks with relentless determination.

These are the best. I have suffered with plantar fascia (sp) and heel pain on my right foot. I also am in the medical field and on my feet all day. After reading reviews and praying that these work, I received them and from the minute I put these on they felt awesome and no more painful right heel and I can actually run a little with no sore knees or ankles! I have wide feet and these work, I love the color-pink! I just ordered my second pair! Worth every penny!

Way to go Mizuno! What a come-back after last years disaster of Wave Creation 12. If you strayed to another shoe, rejoice in the better than ever Wave Creation 13. This is the shoe that makes you love Mizuno. Stability, comfort, and light are all in this shoe. Love!

After a year of trying to look for the perfect pair of shoes for running, walking, exercise, and everyday wear, I am happy to say that these are shoes for me. I am flat-footed with normal pronation. I have been fitted in big, bulky shoes because so often, I was typed as an overpronator (which was wrong). I am happy to say these shoes feel comfortable, absorb shock very well, have great arch support, and I have lots of toe box space for expansion while walking or running.
I am now a believer in this brand. This will be the only brand that I buy from now on. Thank you to Mizuno and and to Zappos for great customer service.

This is my 3rd pair of these wonderful shoes. I absolutely love them and recommend them. They fit your foot like a glove, are super comfortable, and never hurt your feet. I just ran my first half marathon in them and wow they were fabulous. However, you do need to go up half a size as they do run small. But I bet if you tried these you'd never go back. Plus you will get wonderful customer service with any of the Zappos team members...they are great & informative!

The Mizuno Wave Creation 13 is the best running/walking shoe I have ever purchased. It is light and you feel like you are walking on air. It is well worth the money! Zappos had it to my door exactly as they had indicated.

Love the fit of these shoes. They have extra room in the toe box, but they're not so wide that the shoe is loose on the front of the foot. They also fit nice and snug on the heel. I have bursitis in my feet and have had no pain when walking/running in these shoes. I did use the precision fit tool on the Mizuno website to find the best shoes for my feet. One note about the color; I have the Sangria color and the pink does bleed onto my socks when the shoes get wet.

Awesome shoes, fit perfectly! I own another pair of Mizuno's, they run small, I usually wear an 8, these are 8 1/2. Great support for cardio. Lots of compliments at the gym on the cool pink color. I'm mid 40s...

I bought these Mizuno Wave Creation 13 in sangria for my 23 year old daughter. She absolutely loves them. They have excellent arch support and fit like a glove. They run half size small. She wears a 7 so I ordered her a 7½. Those fit perfectly! The width is true to size. Get them, you will not go wrong. Thanks, Zappos, I ordered them Tuesday night at 8:00 PM and got them Wednesday. Zappos, you are the best!

I love these shoes. They foot my foot like a glove. I have a really high arch and these shoes have excellent arch support. The sangria color is a definite attention grabber. Overall, I am 110% happy with my purchase.

I decided to splurge and get the updated version of my Mizuno first love: Wave Creation 11, but was disappointed with the comfort of the 13 version. They are great stability shoes for my high arches and everyone has loved the color and style. They are okay to run in but after a week of running I was surprised to see that I had a blister! I have been running in my WC 11's for over a year and worn holes in the soles.

Great color, good room in toe. Heel is too deep so that the shoe rim sits on my ankle bone. Too bad. Would have loved to keep them, but know I will end up with a blister there.

These shoes were recommended to me by the man who made my orothodics. They have made all of the difference in the world to my morning walks. My hip is much better.

I love these shoes! I purchased the Mizuno Wave shoes based on the reviews from others and I must say the reviews were on point. I was apprehensive about spending the money on these shoes but they are worth EVERY penny! Your feet will thank you! If you are looking for good support and comfort for running/walking you will not be disappointed. I had to order a half size larger.

Ordered running shoes for my daughter to be delivered by ground. The deliverer said left at front door but when I checked they were not at the front or back door. I called the deliverer and they stated must call Zappos. Unbelievable service! I called and talked to a lady and while she was on the phone I checked the bushes by the doors and by chance the garage door. They were up against the garage! I told Zappos never mind and opened the package. The shoes were exactly what I ordered but Zappos still upgraded my delivery status to next day on my next order and made me a VIP. I kept saying all was fine, shoes were exactly what I requested, and delivery was made to correct address but she insisted. Stating they were not where they (the delivery service) had said and I was inconvenienced! Could not believe what great service! That is definitely going the extra mile and then some (like a marathon!) What service! The customer rep was so pleasant and rewarded me for my time and angst! Haven't had this type of customer service in over 15 years! Great job Zappos and kudos to your customer service. They truly understand customer Service and what that means! Usually visit the store and it is great also. Oh and my daughter loves the shoes!

These shoes are amazing! I was informed by two separate websites that analyze your foot to find the perfect running shoe for your weight, running type, pronation, etc that these were the must-have shoes for me. They were so right! I am just getting started with running and getting really in shape, and these are so comfortable. I have a lot of problems with my feet falling asleep when I am running or on the elliptical, and my feet do not do that at all when I am wearing these. They were perfect right out of the box-no breaking in necessary - which is another huge plus for me! The color is great and will look cute with all of my workout outfits! Highly recommend these to anyone!

I am thrilled with these running shoes. I don't run, but if you're looking for a super comfortable sneaker, this is it. I work part-time at a store with a cement floor, and it really takes it toll on your feet. I have tried numerous sneakers, and have quite a large collection, thinking the new ones will be more comfortable, which they were not. Not till I tried these. They are wonderful. Don't hesitate to try them, you certainly won't be sorry!

Another great running shoe from Mizuno. Be careful of the Sangria color. In the beginning the red ran onto my nice new white running socks.

Love Mizuno's! These are everything promised & more...put them on, perfect fit. Exceeds expectations...no difficulties on first wearing or since. Wear them daily to work (in hospital setting with constant walking). They have also helped with my back problems. Highly recommend! Worth the money.

My job requires that I walk and stand for 8 hours straight so having a comfortable shoe is paramount. The Mizuno Wave Creation 13 has been an excellent neutral shoe thus far. Go a half size up for more comfort. I bought the brilliant sangria color and have been fielding compliments more so from men than women, but they are so comfortable I'm going to buy the other color as well. Very lightweight. If you're thinking this over, just buy them. You won't be disappointed.

I've been a fan of Mizunos for years. Started with the Wave Riders and switched to the Wave Creation a few years ago. Recently purchased this shoe and am not disappointed. Mizuno continues to please. I'm usually a 6 1/2 or 7 in regular shoes, but always buy a 7 1/2 in Mizunos.
