Mizuno Wave Equate 9 Running Shoes
Enjoy exceptional support for your runs with this shoe designed for everyone, from beginners to marathon runners, especially runners with overpronation. The excellent cushioning and energy return of MIZUNO ENERZY FOAM, strategically placed at the heel wedge, ensures a superior running experience. The MIZUNO WAVE (Support Type) provides a smoother, stabler feel when your feet hit the ground.
Breathable Mesh Upper
Utilising a mesh upper, the Wave Equate 9 encases your feet with breathable comfort. Perforations within the upper ensure constant airflow, the small holes in the mesh encourage cool air to flow and circulate the shoe whilst removing built-up heat to help regulate temperature, so you remain comfortable when clocking up the miles. Increasing comfort Mizuno has included a cushioned tongue and heel that enhances the comfort and fit, teamed with a traditional lacing system that secures the midfoot and heel areas to reduce excessive movement for a locked-in fit and distraction-free strides.
Mizuno ENERZY Midsole
Providing exceptional comfort and support, the shoes utilise a Mizuno ENERZY midsole, which provides outstanding cushioning and energy return. Absorbing shocks without compromising comfort, the midsole foam dampens impacts when striking hard surfaces, lessening the risk of injury. The energy produced when striking the ground is converted into a rebound adding a spring to your next step. This has been teamed with Mizuno Wave Technology which enhances the in-shoe cushioning while increasing stability. The Wave prevents partial deformation and provides dynamic support to stabilise and guide the foot forward. U4icX compound also features in the midsole offering a stress-free cushioned ride with high rebounds to keep you pushing during longer runs. Completing the midsole is a double fan-shaped wave designed to correct overpronation and enable smoother movements.
X10 Rubber Outsole
Offering the perfect amount of traction and grip, the Wave Equate features an X-10 outsole. The rubber outsole provides superb traction for quick and explosive movements while increasing overall durability so you can continue confidently. X-10 allows for longer wear in high-impact areas and provides more traction during heel strike so you'll always feel in complete control. SmoothRide Technology also resides in the outsole providing a fluid, rocking-chair-like transition. As the foot hits the ground, SmoothRide kicks in to help minimise the rapid acceleration and deceleration during the gait cycle, creating the smoothest ride possible.
