Mizuno Wave Daichi 9 Gtx (M)

Gore-tex: Gore-Tex technology in shoe uppers has revolutionized outdoor footwear by providing a waterproof yet breathable barrier that keeps feet dry and comfortable in a variety of weather conditions. The unique membrane of this material allows water vapour to escape while preventing water penetration, making it ideal for running shoes used in rainy or snowy climates.

EVA: (Ethylene vinyl acetate) is the most widely used midsole material, valued for its extreme lightness and excellent cushioning capabilities. This foam structure contains thousands of microscopic air bubbles that effectively absorb shock and protect the musculoskeletal system. It is highly flexible, resistant to stress cracking and easily moldable, allowing manufacturers like adidas or Altra to create specific zones of support. It represents the ideal standard for soft impact and comfort in sports and everyday wear.

MIZUNO WAVE: Mechanical midsole technology that effectively solves the basic running dilemma: how to combine high levels of cushioning with the necessary stability. While most manufacturers rely solely on foam materials, Mizuno uses a wave plate that disperses the impact energy of the pedal into the entire sole area. This construction acts as an elastic spring that absorbs shock and aids dynamic forward transition on rebound. In addition, thanks to its mechanical principle, the plate helps maintain the structural integrity of the shoe and the stability of the foot throughout the life of the shoe. Wave technology comes in a variety of shapes to provide either neutral stride guidance or targeted pronation support.
