I have been wearing Mizuno Wave Creation running shoes since the Wave Creation 12. These shoes are perfect for larger individuals who have a neutral running style and are heel strikers. I have a high arch so I need to add insoles for support but if you have a normal arch you should be fine. For the high arch support I use the superfeet green insoles. After putting the first dozen or so miles on the shoe they feel just like the previous versions of the shoe and size seems to be consistent as well.
