At RUNNEA our editorial office is often asked the same recurring question: What are the differences between men's and women's running shoes? As you know, many leading brands offer specific models for male and female runners; because needs vary. One of these brands is Mizuno, and so here we bring you a list of the best Mizuno shoes for women 2022.
First of all, we must make it clear that it is obvious that both the footprint and the way of running varies in terms of gender. This is because most women, having wider hips, are pronators or tend to pronate with the passage of kilometers. That is why women who run usually need Running shoes with a more adapted last so that they fit better to the female foot, since it is usually narrower. These shoes, being smaller, with a narrower last and less cushioning, are also less heavy.
It should also be noted that women's feet are usually more flexible, so for the shoes to adapt completely, they must also be very flexible. As for the technologies of these shoes, it is important to look at the materials of which the midsole is composed, since those that are aimed at women tend to be less dense and with less cushioning.
