Best for
The Wave Creation is the big-cushion shoe in Mizuno's Infinity category, and the 25 SSW puts an Infinity Wave plate in the heel, a more visible and effective version of Wave technology. A 42 mm stack and a 15 mm drop make it tall and heel-led, built for a steady, soft ride over long road miles.
It suits you if you want a very cushioned, neutral trainer for easy days and long runs, and you like a high heel with a steady ride. Recovery and slow mileage are its job.
It is not a light shoe at 346 g, and it is not for fast sessions or races. It feels bulky at pace, and the high drop favors heel-strikers over runners who prefer a low, flat ride.
