Mizuno have long been the world leaders in performance footwear. Their technology has been helping athletes push themselves to the limit for over 100 years. Mizuno’s flagship running technology, Mizuno Wave, has taken inspiration from nature to help runners improve their performance.
When developing Wave technology, Mizuno’s engineers studied the way nature deals with impact forces. In all wave forms found in nature, whether sound waves or tidal waves, spread and dissipate quickly. The engineers developed a mid sole that works in a similar way, designed to reduce the impact runners experience on the soles of their feet.
As a runner’s foot touches the ground, the Wave shoe reduces impact and directs forces away from the sole. Wave shoes offer unsurpassed cushioning and keep the foot centered in the shoe throughout the entire range of motion. Shoes containing Wave technology are also sleeker and lighter than other similar systems. This means that they always feel great underfoot. And, unlike many other cushioning systems, the Wave technology won’t break down over time.
Wave technology was developed because Mizuno know how important it is for runners to wear the correct shoes. Without the correct shoes, runners risk injury and pain. They help to provide protection against hard, challenging terrain. Running shoes also help runners get the most out of the performance, and even increase speed.
Mizuno running shoes feature a number of different wave shapes, so runners can choose a shoe that will suit their own unique stride.
