So smooth you won't believe it's a moderate support shoe. The Wave Inspire 6 builds off of previous success and takes full advantage of Mizuno's Wave technology. The shoe dissipates shock and minimizes mild to moderate over-pronation in a seamless manner, which results in an effortless and fantastic ride. A tad lighter than similar shoes, the Wave Inspire 6 just wants to be let out of the box and run to exhaustion.

INTRODUCTION

The Inspire 6 is a moderate feature, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. it is built with a semi-straight shape.

CUSHIONING

Mizuno Wave extends from the heel to the midfoot and is composed of an elastic thermal plastic material shaped in a composite double fan wave pattern. This corrugated design allows for vertical deformation during heel strike to absorb impact while reducing pronation.
VS-1 is positioned in the heel and is a cushioning material to further provide shock absorption.

MIDSOLE

AP is a full length midsole copolymer material that provides lightweight, responsive, yet durable cushioning.
Smooth Ride is located at the lateral heel and across the entire forefoot and is a gender specific network of grooves to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition to create a smooth ride.
Extended Wave Plate is located at the bottom of the midfoot and is an extension of the Mizuno Wave. It preserves the torsional rigidity between the heel and forefoot.
Intercool is a full length ventilation system that allows heat and humidity from inside the shoe to exit via ports located in the midsole of the heel.

UPPER

AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool.
Mizuno logo is located at both the medial and lateral sides and functions to help hold the foot in place.
OrthoLite Sockliner is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet.
Dynamotion Fit is Mizuno's design philosophy to create optimal fit with stretch material located in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load.

OUTSOLE

X10 is located in the heel and forefoot for enhanced traction and is composed of durable carbon rubber.
