Mizuno Wave Rider GORE-TEX 2 Trail Running Shoes
Don't let a little bad weather stop you from running. The Wave Rider GORE-TEX 2 offers all of the great features of the Wave Rider plus a GORE-TEX membrane and a Wgrip outsole for waterproof comfort and excellent grip on rainy days.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Engineered using a breathable upper, the Wave Rider GORE-TEX provides excellent levels of breathability and comfort. The fabric allows air to flow through and circulate, whilst allowing hot air to escape, providing your feet with the perfect microclimate. The shoe also features a GORE-TEX membrane designed to provide optimal waterproof protection. This membrane works to keep feet dry and ensure breathability by preventing external water and moisture from entering and allowing excess heat and internal moisture to leave the shoe leaving your foot cool, dry, and comfortable. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system which locks the midfoot for a secure fit and feel.
U4icX Midsole
Offering an excellent level of cushioning and high rebound, the Wave Rider GORE-TEX utilise a U4icX foam midsole which helps to ensure a responsive landing and a strong take-off. Working alongside this is a layer of Mizuno ENERZY NXT foam that provides an extremely comfortable and bouncy feeling. Mizuno Enerzy Nxt is ultra soft, and responsive and assists in the next level of performance. This technology is lighter than previous ENERZY midsoles, featuring a greater level of cushioning and enabling more output so you can keep pushing for much longer. The shoes also feature Mizuno's Wave Technology for enhanced stability and a spring effect. The wave technology works to absorb the shock of heel striking and once absorbed, the energy is harnessed and is then transferred to the forefoot to push you off and guide you onto the next movement. The Wave also provides dynamic support to stabilise and guide the foot forward while Mizuno ENERZY delivers excellent softness and rebound next to being very durable.
WGrip Rubber Outsole
Constructed using a WGrip outsole, the Wave Rider offers excellent grip and traction whilst remaining durable. WGrip provides you with a firm, assured footing with enhanced levels of grip and traction compared to regular rubber so you can run with confidence and push yourself to the limit, time and time again.
