They have been designed for regular training on dirt and asphalt with systems that promote cushioning and stability as the Wave platform.

Mizuno Wave Paradox 5, main features

We enter fully to talk about these shoes, we start with the midsole which is where you concentrate the largest number of additions. On the one hand we find the premium insole, which already has many of the new models recently launched by the Japanese house. And continuing with known features, the company's star system, the Wave platform, could not be missing. For those who still do not know it, it is a last that incorporates the shoe with a double fan shape or what is the same a small waves, thanks to them provide high levels of stability and cushioning. Also in this case has an extra function as one of its objectives is to contribute to the correction of severe pronator. We continue the flexion cuts made in the forefoot, which have been designed to correct the biomedical differences of the runners and therefore, an efficient footprint in the user. In addition, the fifth edition of theWave Paradox has a U4icX lining in the sole to increase cushioning and improve the first contact between runner and shoe when the shoe is worn for the first time.

We continue with the upper of the Mizuno Wave Paradox 5 with a superior cut and great quality. But, undoubtedly, what we liked most about this area is the reinforcement in the midfoot, which reinforces the stability that we talked about before of the Wave system and adds support to keep our feet safe and avoid the dreaded possible injuries.

On the other hand, as far as the outsole is concerned, the heel has a 3D design to contribute to the cushioning and comfort of the runner.
