Mizuno Wave Ibuki 4 Trail Running Shoes
For trail runners just starting out, the Ibuki 4 Trail Shoes are great for light trails, hiking trails, gravel roads and the like. Hit the trails with this shoe optimised for cushioning, stability and energy return.
AirMesh Upper
Constructed using Mizuno's AirMesh upper, the Wave Ibuki 4 provide the utmost breathability and comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. DynamotionFit technology provides a tailored, glove-like fit. The DynamotionFit system uses motion capture and biomechanics technology to bring you an upper that's designed to work with your foot through the gait cycle. Additionally, the shoes have strategically placed reinforcements to provide you with support and keep your feet protected against sharp branches and sharp-edged rocks. Completing the upper is a lacing system that works to lock down the midfoot so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
Mizuno Wave Midsole
Mizuno's Wave technology is embedded into the midsole to provide flexibility in one direction and support in the other. The Enerzy midsole technology works to absorb the shock of heel striking without compromising comfort or cushioning. Once the shock has been absorbed the energy from that is harnessed and transferred to the forefoot to push you off and guide you onto the next movement. The Wave prevents partial deformation and provides dynamic support to stabilise and guide the foot forward. The midsole works to keep your feet protected from changes underfoot so you can continue in complete comfort and confidence that no matter how hard the trail, you're always going to perform.
Wgrip Rubber Outsole
Enhancing the grip and traction underfoot is a Wgrip rubber outsole which provides you with exceptional support on gravel roads. Not only this, but the rubber compound is also highly durable, which ensures you have long-lasting support throughout your trail running adventures. The outsole of the Wave Ibuki 4 has been adorned by new X-Lugs which provide you with increased grip, and an extraordinary level of traction in muddy conditions.
