Product Description
The Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 is the latest edition of support running shoe which is the most comfortable and responsive Inspire to date. Introduced for the first time in the Inspire range is the AP+ Midsole, a highly cushioned, more lightweight and durable compound making this support shoe supremely more comfortable, as well as feeling lighter and lasting longer. SmoothRide Flex Controllers have also been introduced which encourage a more natural running gait through effective energy transmission from the heelstrike through the forefoot allowing for improved performance in every step. The Dual Fan Wave plate has also been adjusted through repositioning, being placed more separately to reduce pressure points under the heel and arch. The heel wedge has been raised 2mm and the outsole gauge increased by 3mm, to create a softer heel contact while improving support through over-pronation prevention. The collar has also been adjusted to reduce irritation and gives the shoes all round fantastic comfort and performance factors. The Inspire 8 still features the best components of previous editions such as the VS-1 Cushioning Pad which grants extra protection and response to the heelstrike, Gender Engineering for a male/female specific fit and Dynamotion Fit which adapts the collar to your running style, reducing irritation and rubbing giving you the most comfortable ride possible.
