Mizuno Wave Daichi 9 Men's Trail Running Shoes
Conquer trails confidently with the Daichi 9 as your trusty running companion. These shoes allow you to enjoy diverse terrains and contain everything you want in a shoe for trail running, including cushioning, stability, lightweight and superior grip.
Smooth Stretch Upper
Providing feet with a comfortable, smooth stretch-woven upper construction, the Daichi 9 keeps feet feeling prepared for every part of your trail. The updated uppers deliver a sock-like, comforting fit to not only keep feet secure but also keep them protected from the trail ahead. Not only this, but the materials will provide you with a soft and fluid fit due to the horizontally stretching nature. The fabrics will allow cool, fresh air to surround your feet, preventing discomfort and overheating. Smooth overlays add structure to the upper of the Daichi 9 while protecting you on the trail. The shoes have a traditional lacing system to allow you to adjust the fit, ensuring that your feet remain locked in, preventing in-shoe slippage.
Mizuno Enerzy Foam Midsole
Mizuno Enerzy Foam provides exceptional cushioning and high energy return. This foam has been combined with Mizuno Wave technology, improving stability without sacrificing the soft, responsive cushioning underfoot. The heel wedge and lower midsole provided by the Mizuno Enerzy Foam provide great ground contact and superior comfort with a smooth platform to push off. Additionally, the shoes feature a Rock Plate located in the forefoot to offer optimal protection against rocks and debris without being heavy. Formed using a shock-absorbing EVA, the plate ensures protection and enhances comfort and stability on uneven terrain. Completing the midsole is a premium sockliner, which increases step-in comfort.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
Constructed from Vibram Megagrip rubber, the outsole of the Daichi 9 delivers exceptional traction and grip across multiple surfaces. Not only this, but the outsole is highly durable and enhances the shoe's longevity, therefore providing you with a pair of shoes you can rely on throughout. The outsole provides 30% more vertical grip and 20% more lateral grip than conventional Vibram soles. Working in tandem with the outsole, multi-directional Traction lugs dig into the ground for biting traction. Mizuno has included their Smoothride technology, which begins working the moment your foot touches the ground to minimise the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition, creating the smoothest ride possible.
