Love this shoe! I have been running for the past two years and this is by far my shoe of choice. Excellent support for short and long distance running on treadmill and trail with or without socks. Inserts provide additional support for runners with high arches. This is my 3rd pair and I use old shoes when running shorter distances.

Great shoe

I've been using the Wave Creations for years. Good shoe if you need a neutral shoe with good cushion/ shock absorption- I use it with an insert orthotic. Good for moderate to longer distances.

Love these shoes!

(Score 5/5)

Love these shoes! This is my second pair and I am going to rotate them with my others. Have been running in them for ~ 1 year and have had no problems. I previously had a stress fracture from running and these were the only shoes I could run in and not hurt. Now I just run in them because I love them.

Extremely comfortable shoe

(Score 5/5)

This is an excellent running shoe for someone who likes a soft cushioned sole and a roomy toe. I have worn them for 12 years and keep buying them again and again; I've tried other models and brands, but none of them has been this comfortable.

As noted, there is a lot of cushioning in the sole; I walk 2-4 miles a day in them on city pavement, and stand a lot in my job, and my feet don't feel achy at the end of the day. I have also worn them on multiple-mile hikes on varied terrain with a lot of comfort.

Many running shoes have a straight last, which for me means either that the toes are too narrow or the heels are too loose. The 882 has a wide, rounded toe so there is a lot of toe room while the heel still fits snugly. I haven't found many shoes designed that way, so if you have that kind of fit problem, you will love this shoe.

I also wash the shoes and they come out very well, and the non-slip laces don't come undone. Altogether, they are my favorite shoes for a wide variety of activities.

Great shoes

(Score 5/5)

These are the best shoes for you if you are on your feet alot. I work in the warehouse of a hospital and I am constantly on my feet. The wide flat bottoms give excellent support. I recommended them to my co-workers and most of them wear them now too. Excellent quality shoes at a very convenient price.
