I am pretty happy with these shoes, they are a little small but not too bad.
I have been buying the Wave creation running shoe for several years but my last pair was the Wave creation 16, the updates to the 18 do not seem to be very significant.  The color is good but not really a high priority to me, I will run with about any color if the price is good.
These shoes in the size 8 I bought were 60% less than the same shoe in a size 9, the 9 fits better but for this much of a price reduction, the 8 is good enough
