I tend to favor Mizuno Wave Creations but must say was not sold on the Wave Creation 9.  The Wave Creation 11, however, is back in perfect form!  I run about 15 miles a week and lift weights 2 times a week.  These shoes are so comfortable.  I also wear the Asic Gel Nimbus which tends to have slightly more cushion but when I run I prefer to feel a little of the road beneath my feet.  These are excellent in that they have cushion without losing that ability to feel the cadence of your run (if that makes sense...) I also sometimes get foot cramps in my arches (extremely high) and toes after my run with my Asics.  I don't have this problem with my Mizunos.  Both are excellent shoes and it is certainly the wearer's preference but I think any neutral to underpronating runner would be hard pressed to find fault with this shoe!
