My Perfect shoe

Very firm but well cushioned and extremely responsive
Lovely smart looking shoe
Just feels so comfy and PERFECT for running support everywhere in a sort of "subtle way"
NONE! Except maybe a little mud builds up in the wave plate but- they aren't supposed to be a traily!
Simply FAB!

The best shoe from the leading brand.Other makers cannot match Mizuno for innovation.

The snug heel fit combined with the arch lock system ensures a great fit.Smooth heel to toe transistion with a firm cushioned ride seems to make them good for intervals and tempos as the shoe seems to spring back.
Price could be an issue but I picked mine up for 80 at sweatshop so just keep looking online if you intrested in this shoe.
Can't see why RW gave such an average review,cant see what is not to like.

Good fit, the previous model lasted ages, hard to fault!

Most comfortable shoe Ive worn, I could do my longest run in them from getting them out of the box first time! more cushioning then previous model, but still doesnt make you feel like you are running on pillows, which in my mind is a good thing, yet there is still low impact on your feet hitting the road! it also keeps your feet cool through its mesh design. I also have a pair of nimbus 11's which I like, but out of the 2, I would chose these!
If I wanted to be picky, lack of colours and quite hard to clean! also, if you venture off road at any point, although it does the job, it gets mud etc stuck in the wave plate (which usually clears itself over a few miles back on the road)
Wave creation 10's were brilliant, these are better! well done Mizuno!

Great shoe - evolution of a proven class leader

Great fit, now lighter than previous models. Cushioning plate is same since version 8, but the 11s use a new midsole foam and rubber connecting posts (rather than plastic) which means there's a much softer/springier feel. Previous models could feel a little hard.
Not much. Firm cushioning and perhaps 'too much shoe' for lighter runners but for the target audience - big, neutral to slightly overpronating runners - it's hard to fault it. Expensive, but then £20 extra over the lifetime of a shoe is hardly extortionate.
Great shoe. Probably the best of the high end neutral shoes; firmer cushioning than the marshmallow type neutral shoes (Vomero, Nimbus etc.) with great stability and durability. Best version of the Creation for some years.
