Mizuno | Men’s Wave Skyrise 5 Running Shoes – Classic Blue

Advice for Road Runners: The Mizuno Men’s Wave Skyrise 5 Running Shoes should feel very plush and supportive underfoot. 

Underfoot Feel

The Mizuno Wave Skyrise 5 Running Shoes feature a thick layer of soft Mizuno Enerzy cushioning, offering a plush underfoot feel.

There’s also a significant amount of Mizuno’s premium Enerzy Core cushioning in the heel. This offers enhanced impact protection for heel strikers. 

The midsole should feel very stable under your feet. This is because the midsole and outsole are relatively broad. 

Upper Fit

As the Mizuno Wave Skyrise 5 are all about comfort, the upper is constructed with a stretch woven material. The main benefit of this design is that it stretches laterally and adapts to your foot shape. However, as it doesn’t stretch from heel to toe, it holds your foot in position.

Ideal Run Type

If you’re seeking a plush and supportive underfoot experience, the Mizuno Men’s Wave Skyrise 5 Running Shoes should be an excellent choice. This level of cushioning is very well suited to slower paced efforts. This includes recovery runs and long distances.

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.
