How Does the pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra Feel?

The pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra offers the ultimate running experience: comfort, performance and durability. Shoe designers went all in to make sure the Wave Neo Ultra does it all.

“The cushioning feels springy and bouncy, and the shoes feel much softer and more flexible than any other pie mizuno shoes I’ve tried,” Caroline says.

The pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra is the first shoe in pie mizuno’s lineup to feature all three of their signature midsole materials – pie mizuno ENERZY, pie mizuno ENERZY Core and pie mizuno ENERZY Lite. While each foam delivers a different cushioning style, they combine to create a luxuriously smooth ride.

Mizuno ENERZY foam, an EVA-based midsole compound, is the brand’s go-to midsole foam that can be found in fan favorites like the zapatillas de running pie mizuno neutro minimalistas talla 48.5 and the Mizuno Wave Lightning Z6 Mid Buty Do Siatkówki. Buty pie mizuno Białe.

Mizuno ENERZY Core is the brand’s softest and most propulsive foam yet. It’s found in their max-cushioned shoes. You may have experienced ENERZY Core foam in the Mizuno Wave Horizon 6 or the mizuno wave sky wk f grabla.

Mizuno ENERZY Lite foam is the brand’s lightest midsole foam, as seen in the speedy Wave Rebellion, and is therefore often used in race-day shoes. It’s also made with castor bean oil, which makes it a more sustainable solution to traditional foam materials.

The result of the three combined foams? An energetic ride that’s built for extended durability.

“The mens pie mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 4 is soft and smooth for easy cruising,” Nate says.

A smooth, one-piece upper offers enough stretch to accommodate wider foot shapes. While some reviewers prefer a traditional upper, other reviewers appreciated the fit of the pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra.

“Mizuno zapatillas pie mizuno wave inspire 18 46 6416 black silver ebony,” Juan says. “The pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra makes my feet feel really secure while I run.”

The knit upper is sleek and all-white, made with undyed white yarn to reduce the amount of water used in the dying process.

“The upper in the pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra works really well for me. I can slip them right on and immediately feel locked in and secure. I also like the extended heel cup that helps with pulling the shoes on,” Nate says.

Overall, reviewers enjoy the fit and feel of the pie mizuno Wave Neo Ultra.

“These shoes are ready for all the miles you want to throw at them. Given the one-piece upper, I would double check the fit of these, but if they fit you well you’ll probably like them as much as I do,” Nate says.

The pie mizuno wave rider 24 blue silver white men running shoes sneakers j1gc2003-38 is the lightweight counterpart to the Wave Neo Ultra. It’s about two ounces lighter, but still offers a generous amount of cushioning and bounce.

“These shoes have a comfortable fit and feel light, quick and durable. They can handle just about any run you throw at them, including hitting faster paces,” Kate says.

The midsole is made up of pie mizuno ENERZY Lite foam and pie mizuno ENERZY foam, similar to the Wave Neo Ultra without the addition of soft ENERZY Core foam. Because of that, it offers a lighter, firmer and more responsive ride than its counterpart.

“I felt really fast and powerful while running in these shoes,” Juan says. “Usually after long runs my calves feel pretty sore and uncomfortable, but this wasn't the case with the pie mizuno wave rider 24 blue silver white men running shoes sneakers j1gc2003-38.”

The pie mizuno wave rider 24 blue silver white men running shoes sneakers j1gc2003-38 offers an almost identical fit as the Wave Neo Ultra. A smooth, one-piece knit upper wraps around your foot while long, slightly textured laces keep the fit secure. A pull tab on the back of the heel makes it easy to slide into the shoes before heading out.

The Wave Neo Wind offers more padding inside the heel collar than the Wave Neo Ultra, helping to hold you securely in place while you run.

“I was nervous when I saw that this shoe is made with a one-piece upper since that type of fit typically isn’t very adjustable,” Kate says. “But it feels like the upper material molds to the shape of my foot when I put it on, and it has a really comfortable effect. There is extra padding around the heel collar that gives a soft, premium feel.”
