Mizuno Wave Creation 14



“Be Yourself, Only Better” – Mizuno The Wave Creation 14 weighs in at 12.4 ounces, offers good stability and can handle high mileage. The wave softens the blow of heel strikers but complaints are that it has a stiff ride. One comment was that it took about 20 miles to break in, but then felt good. mizuno-wave-creation-14 Have any of you worn Mizunos? If you have what do you think of them?

  2. Hi,
    I can't speak for the WC14s but I found the 12s to be great for a mid to forefoot runner (Chi-Running). I'm a 60 y/o running 150 slow miles a month and I love Mizunos. When I started running about 18 months ago I was wearing cheap casual running shoes and learned quickly that I needed to put some effort into getting the right shoe. My first purchase was the Mizuno Wave Creation 12. As soon as I put them on there was a marked difference in my performance and I was much more comfortable in them. I was using them mainly on the road, but as I mixed in some X-Country I decided to get a pair of Mizuno Ascend 6. They are probably what is referred to as a neutral+ shoe. They work well for me. I replaced the Wave Creations with a pair of Wave Prophecy II when they had about a 700 miles wear on them. I still wear the wave creations in very bad weather to preserve the Prophecy IIs. Every one of those shoes works very well for me, but I really do my best with the least soreness in the newest pair. I'm not an elite runner and there may be shoes out there that I would like even more than the Mizunos. I'll never know though, because every running shoe I buy from here on in will probably be a Mizuno.
