The Perfect Shoe for the Maximalist Runner: Max Cushioning Meets Premium, Heightened Support
For runners who need extra support for overpronation, the updated Mizuno Wave Horizon 8 is up for the task. This everyday trainer offers unparalleled support, all while maintaining a comfortable, max cushion underfoot feel.
The Wave Horizon 8 doesn’t just use one form of support to improve alignment and prevent excess inward rolling. Instead, the shoe combines several different methods to support the foot and ensure a smooth and supportive ride.
Right under your foot, you’ll find a dual-density midsole unit designed with both stability and comfort in mind. The combination of ENERZY NXT and ENERZY foam works together to create a stable platform without sacrificing soft and responsive landings. The unique wave geometry also helps provide targeted support and firmness with each landing. For the final support system, the Wave Horizon 8 features a firm rubber medial wall for additional support for those who need it.
The shoe’s support doesn’t end at the midsole unit – the Smooth Stretch woven upper also works to provide structure while maintaining breathability and an effective lockdown. And with a durable X10 rubber outsole, you can enjoy everything this max cushion, max support shoe has to offer for mile after mile.
