It's never too late to enter the world of trail running and, if you love the Japanese brand Mizuno, you've come to the right place. With our eyes set on the new season, in which we will surely discover new models and updates of the best silhouettes of the brand as far as the mountain is concerned, we want to detail the three most important models of the brand to practice mountain trail.
Mujin, Daichi and Ibuki. Three great names, surely known by mountain lovers, for being the three most complete models of Mizuno as far as trail running shoes are concerned. Three silhouettes made by and for mountain runners that you should take into account if you want to start or improve in the world. Let's see, one by one, what are the strengths of the Mizuno Wave Mujin 8, Mizuno Wave Daichi 6 and Mizuno Wave Ibuki 3
An all-terrain trail shoe ready for any type of terrain. The Mizuno Wave Mujin 8 is a model with a 10 mm drop and a weight of around 360 grams created to face long distances at medium-low paces. Its runner profile is for those trail runners of medium-high weight and neutral tread who are looking for a silhouette that provides stability and security at all times.
This is one of Mizuno 's most important trail running series and is characterized by its cushioning capacity, comfort and reactivity. The Foam Wave structure, coupled with the Enerzy cushioning system will make your stride as natural as possible even on the most uneven terrain.
But that's not all, because, in addition to having a high quality upper, lightweight and great fit, even with protections in the areas of greatest friction, this model stands out for the construction of the outsole. Made with Michelin compound and a multidirectional tread pattern , these Mujin 8 are a sure thing as far as grip and traction are concerned, as were their predecessors.
One of the fastest options within the trail running shoes from Mizuno. The Daichi 6 is that mountain model prepared for intense but not excessively long outings where the runner's technique rewards and where the benefits of the model come to light and can squeeze the most out of the race or training that you face.
Its 8 mmdrop and its weight, much lighter than the Mujin, only 313 grams, make them a perfect model for trail runners of average weight and pace with neutral tread and, above all, good running technique in the mountains. In these Mizuno Wave Daichi 6, its AP+ and U4icX technologies in the midsole will favor the absorption of impacts and, together with the protective plate of EVA material, will help you to run in a safer way protecting your feet.
As if that were not enough, this is a model that also enjoys the Michelin compound in its outsole, something that provides excellent grip and traction on all types of terrain and that is already a common addition in the best silhouettes of Mizuno. In short, a more than successful remodeling of the firm that you can also find in its gore-tex version, prepared for the toughest conditions.
As its name, Ibuki, which in Japanese would come to mean something like energy injection, refers, the trail running shoes Mizuno Wave Ibuki 3 are the great bet of the Japanese for a fast, compact and versatile model. The feeling of comfort is one of the strong points of a model created by and for the enjoyment of all trail runners.
Its 10 mm drop and weight of 330 grams show that this is a lightweight silhouette optimized for medium-weight runners looking for speed trails without losing the comfort of a more maximalist shoe. In this aspect we would be looking at a combination of features between the Mujin and the Daichi. An intermediate step, that of these Ibuki 3, for runners with not so good running technique who are not aiming for long distances.
Without the Michelin compound outsole but with exceptional materials throughout the shoe, these Mizuno Wave Ibuki 3 will provide you with unparalleled stability and cushioning. A comfortable, grippy and protective shoe that will allow you to enjoy the mountain even in the most difficult conditions, thanks to its waterproof version, the Mizuno Wave Ibuki 3 GTX.
