Mizuno | Women’s Wave Skyrise 5 Running Shoes

Advice for Road Runners: The Mizuno Women’s Wave Skyrise 5 Road Running Shoes provide soft cushioning and high levels of energy return. These are supportive neutral running shoes. The updates to this edition of the Skyrise are significant; resulting in a lot of potential for these to be very comfortable running shoes.

Underfoot Feel

The outsole and midsole are wider than they were in the previous model. This means that there is a more stable base from which to land on and push off from.

The majority of the midsole is made from Mizuno Enerzy foam. A section of the rearfoot area contains a block of Mizuno Enerzy Core foam. This combination results in a soft cushioning with a high level of energy return.

Upper Fit

The stretch woven upper will stretch from side to side; it will not stretch from front to back. This keeps your feet in position, but allows the upper to adapt to the width of your feet. 

The gusset tongue construction will limit tongue migration – keeping it in position as you run.

Ideal Run Type

The Mizuno Women’s Wave Skyrise 5 Road Running Shoes are best for slow to steady paced runs. A great option as running shoes for daily training runs.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
