Reimagining the support shoe, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 22 in Estate Blue has a fully redesigned midsole and offers smooth stability for runners who over pronate.
The Mizuno Wave Inspire 22 uses a supportive wave plate through the midsole to prevent arch collapse, enhancing stability, it follows the shape of the foot for smooth weight transfer from ground contact to toe-off. The plate runs through the middle of a nitrogen infused Enerzy NXT midsole that delivers a highly responsive and cushioned run, with a softer feel than previous versions. Up top, a breathable mesh upper cradles your foot in comfort that lasts, so if you need more rearfoot stability, or simply a more reassuring ride, the Wave Inspire 22 makes a great option for your daily runs.
Wave Inspire
Ideal for overpronators, the Wave Inspire combines a lightweight design with moderate structure on the inside of the shoe, offering the same long-distance comfort and smooth ride as the Wave Rider while also correcting your stride.
Regular Cushioning
Regular cushioning offers a blend of lightness, comfort, and ground feel. Popular for shorter distance racing as well as training and daily mileage running, the lower stack of midsole foam offers inherent stability and a lighter feel on your foot when compared to max-stack shoes.
Structured
Structured shoes offer stability and support that is particularly helpful for those who overpronate or have flat feet. If you overpronate, you belong to about 60% of the population who land on the outside of the foot but turn in too far through the transition from landing to toe-off. Without correction, overpronation can lead to injuries and an inefficient running style.
Modern shoes use a variety of different methods to assist in correcting your gait, but most include increased support in the upper and stabilising midsole systems that guide your foot gently through the most efficient path.
Mizuno
With a history stretching back to 1906, Mizuno started out making baseball uniforms, but their move into running has resulted in some of the most popular and most revered shoes around. They’re built on their five brand values: Trustworthy, Innovative, Performance, Inspiring, Passionate.
The flagship Wave Rider has more than a quarter of a century of tweaks, innovations, and improvements behind it, and that word Wave is one you’ll come across often in the Mizuno catalogue.
A Pebax material with crests and troughs like ripples on the ocean, Wave technology can flex toe to heel but provides stability laterally. Compressing to absorb impact, it proceeds to transfer energy back through the stride for a unique sensation that deserves to be experienced by every runner.
