Lock in superior support and a responsive ride with the Mizuno Wave Inspire 20. This stability running shoe features Mizuno’s signature wave plate that provides smooth and fast transitions with plenty of stability for runners who overpronate. A redesigned upper feels light on the foot while still delivering the supportive fit that has defined Mizuno running shoes for years. The Mizuno Wave Inspire 20 will bring you the stability you need in a light and responsive package.
WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:
The Mizuno Wave Inspire has long been a favorite of runners looking for moderate-to-high support for overpronation in a package that feels light and responsive on the run. The Mizuno Wave Inspire 20 features Enerzy foam that provides softer landings than previous versions. The jacquard mesh upper still provides the secure and structured fit loyal Mizuno wearers value from the brand with additional lightness and breathability. If you need some support for overpronation but still want that feel of a fast and responsive ride, the Mizuno Wave Inspire 20 is the shoe for you.
WHAT’S NEW:
If you’ve been a fan of previous versions of the Mizuno Wave Inspire, the Wave Inspire 20 brings a lighter and more supportive fit to Mizuno’s flagship stability running shoe. A new jacquard mesh upper improves breathability while ensuring a perfect fit. Strategically placed print overlays create a soft feel that hugs the foot in all the right places and a stitch-free gusseted tongue delivers a secure midfoot wrap.
