Review on πŸ’ƒ Mizuno Women's Creation Waveknit 2 Running Shoe for Enhanced Performance and Comfort by Abdullah Huan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The disappointing new version of this shoe is

So I've been using Waveform for 13 years and this update was very disappointing. First, they're a lot heavier than previous models, which likely means more cushioning and can be used for longer runs. I don't feel like it has the same arch support and it bothers my calves a bit. The toe box is smaller and it feels like my toe is resting on the midfoot of the shoe. Maybe the shoes just run small and I need a larger size? My feet are very narrow anyway, so I usually never have a problem with a narrow toe. There is no language that I really love. It glides so easily and feels like it will fit great but then I start to walk. I thought they were the same as my other Mizunos but I'm disappointed that I may have to shop around for new shoes. All in all, I'll give it another week and see if I can "break in" it a bit, although I've never had to do that with previous versions.

Pros
  • U4icX Midsole: A lighter and more cushioned version of the U4ic that offers a softer feel underfoot for a smoother transition. Can be found in Wave Enigma, Wave Inspire, Wave Rider, and Wave Prophecy.
