I've reached the 100 mile mark on these shoes so it's time for a review. I like these shoes. I don't know if I'd say I love them and I say that as fan of Mizuno. First off, the fit of the upper of this shoe is very glove-like when you slip it on. Nice feeling but compared to the Wave Creation no significant improvement to my running experience. After that you'll notice as you walk forward in this shoe that you experience a kind of propelling forward sensation as the 3/4 length wave plate collapses/cushions under your forefoot. While a pronounced sensation walking, it's nearly imperceptible running. Reports that you feel as though you're being thrust forward as you run has/is not my experience. The cushioning of this shoe is very firm. I'm 6', 185 lbs. I find that this shoe shines more at longer distances (5+). The rhythm my gait finds around 5 miles seems to match well with the structure of this shoe. Up until that point I experience the shoe's cushioning as very dense, but a kind of float over the 3/4 length of cushioning is noticeable as my mileage climbs. The longer I go the more I notice it. Prior to this shoe I've been running in the Wave Creation for the past couple of years. While I like the Prophecy I don't like it $50 more than the Creation. It's nice but just not a noticeable improvement from the Creation. I'll log my 500ish miles on this shoe and report back if my experience changes but at this point I intend to return to the Creation at that point.
