My new kicks: Wave Elixir 7

These purple beauties are taking me to the Calgary marathon. Aren’t they pretty?

I finally buckled down and bought a new pair of sneakers. My old Mizuno Wave Enigmas have taken a beating this winter and from all the marathon training last summer. Yup, time for new ones.

I’m a neutral shoe but these felt right. I’m waiting until the snow melts (soon?) before I give ’em a run.

Here’s a little blurb on wave technology from Mizuno:
Unlike other shoe technologies, as your foot touches the ground, Wave actually reduces and redirects impact forces away from your foot. Wave acts much like your car’s suspension—offering cushioning and keeping your foot centered in your shoe throughout your stride. Our engineers have developed multiple Wave shapes, so we can gear different shoes to fit the unique strides of different runners. And Wave’s compact form keeps the shoe sleeker and lighter than competitive systems. So whether you’re jogging around the neighborhood or blasting past the 20-mile marker, Wave always feels amazing underfoot.

  • Disperses impact forces away from foot
  • Progressive, tunable support
  • Lightweight, compact, responsive
  • Doesn’t break down over time
