I've seen several reviews where people have problems with the shoes, the best recommendation is to go to a place to have your 'walk' analyzed correctly by someone who knows (rather than guesses).
I'm Neutral-Cushioning so these work really well, I've had the Wave creation 8, think I had a 10, 12, and now 13 and they were all very good. Although the color on this seems like it might be odd, It's kind of a purple-ish grey but they look good. I actually like these better than the Prophecy. These shoes are supposed to be rated for about 600 miles and I've heard most are about 300 miles so it makes them a really good value especially when they are on sale. I ran my first marathon in a pair of Mizuno Wave Creation 8's
