I might be a bias towards Mizuno, however these shoes are grest. At first they feel strange, making you feel that you are leaning forward. While rinning great fit and feel. This is my 4th Mizuno shoes and would not buy any other brand. I run 5 miles two to three times per week, they are holding up for now.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning
Cons: price

this is a great running shoe. It does run a 1/2 size large. I normally wear a 11.5, but i had to order a size 11 in this shoe. It fits nicely in the 11. Luckily, i tried on the same shoe in a different color at a local retailer, so didnt have to exchange anything.
Pros: lightweight, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

All I can say is that the "Chinese red" color looks kinda pink to me in person. So I sent them back for the black ones. I recommend you to see this color in person first if you can.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, breathable
Cons: chinese red color

This is my third pair of prophecies, and there is nothing like the first steps in them. Take my word as a complete stranger and try them on somewhere, and see for yourself, they're amazing.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, good arch support, durable, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

I am in LOVE with these shoes. I am a mild runner and hard worker. I will use these shoes for both! I have never worn Mizuno and these shoes do not disappoint. I have wide feet and these are great and fit perfectly. I wear 12 1/2 and these fit true to size. The price is well worth it.
Pros: runs true to size, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

broken plastic

The shoe is very comfortable, and does run a little large. After not even a week of use, the plastic broke on the bottom of the shoe in the arch. The cracked plastic pops every time I take a step making them un-wearable. I sent them back to eastbay hopefully for a return. Would not recommend.
Pros: good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable
Cons: non-durable, will break

Great shoes, the best attribute of this shoe is the stability they provide to your feet *(I have a reconstruced foot) and these shoes have been just perfect as far as the fit and feel of the shoes are on my feet. A bit hard to break in, but they are worth it.
Pros: runs true to size, good arch support, durable, good cushioning, stable
Cons: uncomfortable, heavy

I purchased the MWP2 after reading several reviews for the shoe. I have been running in the Nike Vomeros for years now (gen. 3 thru 7) and find that shoe to be comfortable. However, every so often I like to experiment in my quest to find the ultimate cushioned running shoe. After several runs I found the MWP2 to be rather stiff and I experienced some bodily discomfort afterwards. Maybe my body was adjusting to the change or maybe the 2 shoes are polar opposites and therefore the difference extreme. I like the fact that I can run w/ the Vomeros right out of the box. They are very flexible and "cushiony." I had to break these shoes in and after several runs I did not see a marked change. Maybe the MWP2 is simply not for me. Looks good but for the price tag I was a little disappointed. Guess I'll used them for the gym.
Pros: runs true to size, good arch support, breathable, attractive
Cons: little stiff for me, pricey

I ordered Wave Prophecy 2 expecting it would be as comfortable as the pair of Wave Pprophecy 1 that I wear. It isn't even close. I am not sure what the difference is but I am dissappointed in the feel and comfort. The Wave 1 is the best shoe I have ever worn- I expected the same from Wave 2. I have worn them twice on a short walk with my wife andhave had to take them off after.
Pros: lightweight, breathable
Cons: uncomfortable

These kicks are super comfortable, with a knee problem training can at times be limited, with the Prophecy 2 that knee pain is minimal which is a big plus. Overall the product is tough in handing all terrains and with its chunky looks and awesome colours has had some heads turn and even positive criticism. I have full confidence in recommending these shoes .... they walk themselves!!!
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, durable, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable
