Mizuno Equate 2

The Mizuno Wave Equate 2, the latest update of the recent Equate line, has landed on the market. As we were able to see in the original version, it is a running shoe aimed at runners with a pronator footprint and a medium-light build. Although this model is in the most economical segment of the Japanese company, the quality and technologies included are typical of the top models.

With this latest update, the Mizuno brand once again confirms its priority and fervent commitment to technology. Although this model is intended to correct pronation, the technologies included seek to offer maximum performance to runners with an average weight during regular training on dirt and/or asphalt.

Mizuno Wave Equate 2, strong points

Let's get down to business and analyze the new features included in this Wave Equate 2. In the midsole of Mizuno running shoes we are used to the presence of EVA foam, but this time, Mizuno designers have decided to go for the U4icX plantar lining; with the firm purpose of increasing cushioning, reactivity and improving the "first contact" with the shoe. Thanks to this technology, greater cushioning and comfort are provided in the areas that require it most , thus favoring an unparalleled energy return.

It is in this area of the shoe where they have also opted for the inclusion of the same last already present in the Wave Paradox 3 model and which has produced such good results. This running shoe for overpronators offers exceptional stability and for this, they have opted for a wider sole with flexion cuts that improve cushioning on contact with the ground. Most of the new features of the Mizuno Wave Equate 2 are concentrated in the Wave midsole, which has the shape of a fan and is made of Pebax. It is also here where they have incorporated the Premium insole along with an EVA foam insert, which ensures greater comfort for the user.
