Mizuno Wave Kien 4

The Mizuno Wave Kien 4 are probably not in the reference models of trail running of the Japanese house, but this versatile family of "pisteras" shoes has made its own niche in the niche of occasional trail runners, even for those who are starting in the rewarding adventure of running - or walking in the bush. So, the Mizuno Wave Kien 4 is the perfect entry-level trail running shoe; it can also be used as a transition model, because the Wave Kien 4 is suitable forrunning on asphalt as well as on mountain trails and tracks.

These Wave Kien 4 incorporate Mizuno's exclusive XtaRide concept. A combination of different technologies that make the runner's feet adapt to the ground they walk on in a more natural way.

The midsole of the Mizuno Wave Kien 4 incorporates the EL8 compound, which as Mizuno assures is up to 10% lighter than the traditional EVA foam, and without reducing its level of cushioning, and even increasing the energy return.
