Back to Results Mizuno Wave Precision 7 Manufacturer: Mizuno Price: $85 Reviewed in: Jan 2007 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Performance Training See Specifications We say: The latest Precision comes with some big changes. First, the outsole under the heel has more flex grooves to better isolate and disperse impact. Mizuno also widened the Wave plate for added cushioning in the heel, softened it through the arch, and firmed it up on the sides to better guide the foot as it moves through the gait cycle. RW Shoe Lab tests verified that these updates have indeed improved the shoe's cushioning. Recommended for biomechanically efficient, normal- and high-arch runners who need a well-cushioned shoe for training and longer-distance racing.
