Wrong size - for men

Unsuccessful purchase. This product does not fit US size 11 as shown in the photo. Size 11 compared to real shoes. That's why buying clothes online sucks.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some bugs

Good shoes for me. Maybe not for you.

Okay, first of all the shoes look amazing. Manufactured to the same quality. If you are looking for a lot of cushioning, this shoe is not for you. They run small, so half a size is better. If you have wide feet, this shoe is not for you. They're tight, but I like it. They feel a bit stiff at first and then lead to a tighter feeling like they're pushing you up. I really like her. However, not for everyone.

Pros
  • Nice to wear
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

The shoes are very narrow

These shoes look very good and they are nice shoes. I have an old pair of Mizuno, they fit very well and are comfortable. However, this particular shoe was too tight, especially around the toes. It was so crowded my legs hurt. Interestingly, even my old Mizunos, which fit so well, were half a size larger than the ones I usually wear, so I went half a size on these as well. They were a good length fit but were much narrower than my old pair (a few years old).

Pros
  • a good thing
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine

Wear them and scream from the rooftops

Prophecy Wave 3 Yellow I had 4 years before the sole separated from the upper mesh. 4 years of international and national travel. Jogging and working in the gym, as well as almost every day in the warm season. Didn't lose the feather, didn't lose the pillow! Amazing people buy Nike Crapormax when they exist. Do not be shy. I work HARD for my money and would never otherwise spend that much on shoes, but as you can see they don't put time on style and all their energies on functionality.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Very expensive

STYLISH, COMFORTABLE, FIT - STYLISH

WOW! Photos do not convey these shoes. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! Shape and design are concise. COMFORT! It's like walking or running on clouds. I went shopping looking for the best Nike or Adidas shoes but they were NOT comparable to these. I'm afraid I'll be ordering a second pair to have on hand when this pair wears out. This is my fourth pair of Mizuno shoes with the same circular padding front to back. So I think I'm a big fan! I have a size 8 foot but I always buy 8 and 1/2 from Mizuno if it…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Without automatic transmission

Very disappointing, especially considering the high price.

I found the shoe heavy and stiff, like a hiking boot. I thought they could improve performance like the Nike 4% but running in them caused ankle pain due to the shoe's lack of flexibility and heaviness. Maybe I'm just running faster than the other reviewers? I just can't imagine how else they could rate these shoes 5 stars. The Wave Prophecy 8 is very different from the Nike 4%. I would not recommend these running shoes to anyone who can run 10km less than 40 minutes. I sent the shoes back…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • ---

Almost hurt my legs

I'm sorry but you really missed the mark. I had two pairs of Wave Inspires and loved them both so I decided to update them. Ouch. Literally. First, they were very tight. Untying the laces helped. But unfortunately the front/toes are very narrow and severely pinched on both feet. I also noticed that the feet were pushed forward into the narrow forefoot, especially when descending. This may be typical, but I've never had pain in any other shoe. Attempted 3 runs and found 3 open blisters - even if

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • No

Love Mizuno again!

Back in 2013 and 2014 I rocked a lot in the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 3. It was the most expensive shoe I've ever bought, but it was also the most comfortable. I literally ran about 50 miles a week in them. The fit, comfort when hitting the board, support and the lightness of the shoe made them some of the best I've worn. I was heartbroken when I woke up one day to see my new pup having fun with them. Then I bought the Wave Prophecy 5s and was very disappointed. Frustrated, I spent $220 on a shoe…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Update available

Good cushioning but needs to be adjusted for comfort

This is my fourth pair of Wave Prophecy shoes. I started with the original or the "1" series I think. You were wonderful. Replaced them with "3". They had trouble with the last loop where the toes meet the foot. I had to cut the material off the shoes to avoid cutting the skin. (Wrote a Revain review on it.) Went back to Wave Creation, they were ok but I didn't have a feel for the Prophecy model so tried again with a '7'. They were perfect again, like "1". No problem. I wore them out and…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Fade out
