What are the differences between the mizuno wave drive and wave medal? I cannot decide which ones to purchase
Get some info here:

And here but you’ll have to translate:

I had all off them Mizuno (wave drive and wave medal), LiNing (MaLong) and Asics (GelBlade) and the Asics are the best value/money followed by the Mizunos. LiNing were the biggest disappointment for me. The insole was trough within 3 months and grip was less than any of the others.

Forget about fanciness and what the TT stars are doing. For your specific case (training on concrete, large feet) I would go for the Asics and no second thought.

As for the difference of Mizuno Drive vs Medal. The Drive are lighter and have less dampening, Medal are more supporting but heavier. I liked the drive better than the medal, but this is personal preference.

Since i have wide feet and play on wooden floors, i think i would go for the mizuno wave medal. Also whats the difference between the medal neo and medal 7?

No idea on the differences. I try to always buy the old models, when the new ones get introduced and the older ones are at sale.

What are the sizes like more mizuno? I want to buy a pair but they all seem to be US 10.5 or 28.5 jp/cm when i am looking for US 11 to US 12 (29-30cm). I believe for my regular shoes, i am about size 11 to 12

Wooden floors (and occasional concrete ones, ugh...) were the main reason I avoided proper TT shoes for a while - they just didn't have good traction on wood for me. Volleyball shoes were much better, but they tend to be heavier. Good cushion, though. Asics Gel Rockets, for instance.
