Mizuno Wave Rider 16 running shoes continue to deliver the perfect balance of lightweight feel, formed fit, and the smooth ride that fans of the series have come to love. The Wave Technology helps protect your feet, legs, and back with superior shock absorption and soft feel. Perfect for neutral runners.

Upper: Padded heel collar and tongue offer instep comfort. Mesh provides enhanced breathability. Dynamotion Fit™ moves seamlessly throughout your stride, eliminating stress points and bunching for a more comfortable run. Lace up front provides a customizable fit.

Midsole: Mizuno Wave Technology® dissipates impact forces away from the foot for a smoother, more cushioned feel on each step. AP+ midsole offers increased rebound while extending the cushioning durability and maintaining lightweight performance. SR Touch lightweight cushioning compound in the heel offers high resiliency and quick bounce back for a smoother ride. Removable insole.

Outsole: SmoothRide Engineering™ creates a smooth, rocking-chair-like transition from heel to toe. X10® durable carbon rubber delivers longer wear in high impact areas and supplements traction at heel strike.

The Spring 2013 Sneaker Stars Shoe Guide in the April 2013 Fitness magazine names these shoes Best for Road Running for runners who have high arches. "Great shock absorption that helps keep feet from tiring out on long-mileage days."
