This high level of traction is particularly useful when wearing the neutral running shoe on wet terrains including road and track.
#MIZUNO WAVE RIDER FULL#
The Mizuno Wave Rider 24 running shoe has a full carbon rubber outsole that provides longer-lasting durability, as well as fantastic traction. Having learned a lot about the Rider 24 and its predecessor Rider 23, I am not surprised with these figures. According to experts at Mizuno, the Mizuno Enerzy foam positioned in the heel wedge provides 7% more cushioning and 12% more energy return. Performance-wise, the Enerzy foam, positioned in the shoe’s heel provides a more cushioned and protective landing. Historically, the Mizuno Wave Rider running shoe has always been more of a firmer running shoe however, with the inclusion of Enerzy foam, the Mizuno Wave Rider 24 is a lot softer, though still on the stiffer scale when it comes to running shoes. The midsole material is lightweight, resilient, well-cushioned, extremely responsive, and durable. The shoes existing U4ic midsole works by reducing the level of shock and providing a superior run. The new shape also gives the runner a smoother run that is less snappy and more responsive when comparing to the previous Rider 23. However, the newest Rider 24, features a new wave plate shape that provides more responsiveness. Wave plate technology continues to be used in Rider 24, by dispersing energy evenly. Made from a breathable mesh material, the shoes upper ensures your feet stay well ventilated. The upper also has fewer overlays, reducing its weight and making running easier. The Waveknit upper offers more stretch and provides a wider toe box, allowing your feet to move more freely. The Mizuno Wave Rider 24 has an updated Waveknit engineered mesh upper with a 3D Runbird logo. The inclusion of Enerzy foam makes the shoe more responsive and softer underfoot. The new addition of Enerzy foam has been placed predominantly in the heel of the shoe but also in the midfoot, providing a smoother heel-to-toe transition. New Enerzy foam has been added to the shoe’s midsole, along with the existing Mizuno’s U4ic foam.
