good shoes

These are very comfortable, true-to-size, and nice looking. I have plantars facaitis and I can wear these shopping and get along fine.
The toes show wear pretty quickly, but I would buy them again.

Good Running Shoe

(Score 4/5)

Bought the shoes for the "SL-2 last" fit and this shoe gives that with a very roomy toe box while keeping a good heel fit. Feels good overall to run in. I ordered the shoe 1 size larger than my dress shoe size which made them roomy but not oversized. The shoes are very flexible. I researched my needs, chose this shoe, and then looked online for the best price, and found it through Amazon. My only con is that it could be a little more cushioned for the pounding that running gives. I am now thinking of adding a gel insert.

Happy Runner

(Score 5/5)

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.
