The Mizuno Wave Alchemy 10 has been upgraded very well. Headlining this new model is the extremely pleasant sole. And a new lacing eyelet for improved heel locking.
This motion control shoe is one of the most supportive shoes from the Japanese shoe maker. It targets runners who need pronation support with moderate experience (not newbies).
As already mentioned Mizuno has been busy with this update. The new eye let on the top most portion of the lacing area includes a reinforced area with two holes. This gives runners some freedom to adjust the lace in different positions for a better secured heel. Experienced runners will appreciate this feature as many have their own way of locking down a shoe.
This motion control running shoes by Mizuno made headlines with its new midsole. The upgraded midsole has the familiar wave plate that has been updated to the Double Fan Wave. The mid sole offers a very smooth transition from the complicated heel area to the simpler forefoot area.

Those crazy, five-toed running shoes may look silly, but they serve a purpose. Running coach Tim Ives of The Body Project explains the craze, the physical benefits, and how to transition into barefoot running.
Why run barefoot?The argument is that a modern running shoe provides more support than the body actually needs. There is more heel lift and cushioning, which leads to over-reliance on striking down on your heel when you run, Ives said. This can cause a whole host of problems, from knee to foot injuries.
Ives likens wearing modern running shoes to wearing a cast. Since muscles dont have to work as hard, they get lazy and weak, which can lead to more problems because your feet arent conditioned properly. Running barefoot, or wearing five-toed shoes, will make you take a more natural stride, landing almost flat-footed instead of on your heel, a more natural way to run and better for avoiding injuries.
How to do itAlthough running barefoot can help prevent problems in the future, you cant just toss your modern running shoes and start wearing five-toed shoes for every run. The transition has to be gradual.
