Design changes getting worse
I've been running in the Mizuno Wave Creation for almost ten years now. I have sent Mizuno a lot of money over the years. I've stayed with the model through several improvements/iterations, because for me, once I've found a shoe that works for me, I tend to stick with it until it stops working. Also, honestly, I'd rather avoid all the trouble of finding a new "perfect" home for my feet.
Well, I think the time to re-initiate the search may have come. The latest iteration of the MWC has a looser build about it, with the insole side feeling like it's made of two separate pieces held together only with some flimsy elastic. It's just odd and feels cheap.
In any case, my next pair of running shoes may be another pair of MWCs, but it will only be after I've tried on what's available from the other manufacturers -- something I have not done in a long time.

Mizuno WR 9 vs. Asics Gel Nimbus 10: Go with Asics
Bought the Mizuno Wave Runner 9 shoe and the Asics Gel Nimbus 10's at the same time. I found the Asics to be the best fit for me....
Pluses:
* Designed for medium to high arches - good comfort in upper shoe area
* Material/ventilation permits good shoe breathability
* Shoe design seemingly propels you forward - very healthy heel cushioning system
* Good looking shoe
Concerns:
* Feels like fore-foot and midfoot is swimming in the shoe - not nearly as snug as Asics fit
* Have read that the shoe fits 1/2 to full size small - don't buy it - get sized
* Shoes on heavy side at 13.9 oz (vs. Asics Gel Nimbus 10 @ 12.4 oz)
* While heel has good cushioning, mid-foot and toe cushioning feels inadequate in comparison

Mizuno Wave Creation 9
It's an excellent tennis. Its deadening system and construction are very efficient. I recommend it.
