Editorial Review :

Many a runner relies on this trusted road warrior. The shoe is loved for its tried-and-true fit and feel sought after its signature smoothness from heel to toe and depended upon for the graceful graduated support of its PDRB. The Adrenaline GTS 8 maintains all of the above while enhancing the ride with the long-lasting cushioning and resiliency of MoGo. Color(s): White/Black/Platinum/Quicksilver. Type: Running. Weight: 11.5 oz. Upper: Microfiber and synthetic overlays. Moisture-managing Element Mesh. Midsole: Rearfoot HydroFlow ST. Full-length MoGo. Progressive Diagonal Rollbar. Outsole: HPR Plus. Blown rubber forefoot.

Love my shoes!

Found these in the store but preferred to purchase through Amazon. I have a narrow man's foot and love the fit. There's been no 'break-in' period and these shoes have prevented many aches/pains for a new runner. Would highly recommend!

Order 0.5 size bigger

I run with such shoes (differnt color) for about a year on cross-country trails. The shoes are light and nice but fell apart - they are cheap. I wanted to order another pair but forgot the size previous were. Usually i wear 8.5 or 9.0. There's something wrong with this model. I ordered 9.0 and they don't fit but since they are so cheap I gave them as a present to my friend. Happy end!

this is BAAAAD

No wonder they r sellin it that cheap b/c it is a terrible sneaker.. not good for anything, the sole is very thin, u can even feel the carpet if u wear it at home. besides, the size is screwed up. i usually wear 10, i ordered 10.5 and it was still very tight. i returned.

Great shoe, but no water protection.

When I first opened the box, I thought they sent the wrong size. At first glance these shoes look small. Don't fret, they aren't, its just the way the are designed. They were the right size and fit beautifully.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are comfortable and feel as if you are wearing nothing, but in reality they provide great support all around.

I am a Traceur, or one who practices Parkour, that is what I bought these shoes for. The best pair of shoes I have ever bought for this. The grip is excellent, and the ankle support is great. Super lightweight.

The only negative I give it is that the mesh is just the netting part. If it is wet outside, your socks and feet get wet. Not to great if you are using these for anything that requires fast movement. Simply put, wet socks and shoes plus a lot of movement equals blisters. Be sure to get some water-proof socks if you plan on using these in wet weather.

great shoe

I just recently got this shoe. I had been running in Nike Pegasus shoes and was constantly getting blisters especially after long runs >8 miles. This is my first pair of Mizunos. WOW! They are so comfortable. I was afraid because they are a little higher and heavier that they might be a little clunky, but they are the smoothest shoe I have ever run in. I can whole heartedly recommend this shoe, or at least trying it out. (everyone's feet are different). The plastic plate shock absorbers, work really well and feel very responsive. I was going to get the Wave Rider 11s but they felt a little too soft, even though they were lighter. I haven't worn them long enough to discuss the durability. All in all I am really happy with this shoe.

Mizuno WR 9 vs. Asics Gel Nimbus 10: Go with Asics

Bought the Mizuno Wave Runner 9 shoe and the Asics Gel Nimbus 10's at the same time. I found the Asics to be the best fit for me....

Pluses:
* Designed for medium to high arches - good comfort in upper shoe area
* Material/ventilation permits good shoe breathability
* Shoe design seemingly propels you forward - very healthy heel cushioning system
* Good looking shoe

Concerns:
* Feels like fore-foot and midfoot is swimming in the shoe - not nearly as snug as Asics fit
* Have read that the shoe fits 1/2 to full size small - don't buy it - get sized
* Shoes on heavy side at 13.9 oz (vs. Asics Gel Nimbus 10 @ 12.4 oz)
* While heel has good cushioning, mid-foot and toe cushioning feels inadequate in comparison

Design changes getting worse

I've been running in the Mizuno Wave Creation for almost ten years now. I have sent Mizuno a lot of money over the years. I've stayed with the model through several improvements/iterations, because for me, once I've found a shoe that works for me, I tend to stick with it until it stops working. Also, honestly, I'd rather avoid all the trouble of finding a new "perfect" home for my feet.

Well, I think the time to re-initiate the search may have come. The latest iteration of the MWC has a looser build about it, with the insole side feeling like it's made of two separate pieces held together only with some flimsy elastic. It's just odd and feels cheap.

In any case, my next pair of running shoes may be another pair of MWCs, but it will only be after I've tried on what's available from the other manufacturers -- something I have not done in a long time.
