Product Highlights
The Mizuno Wave Rider GTX 4 delivers the trusted ride of Mizuno's iconic daily trainer with added protection for wet-weather running. Built for neutral runners, this waterproof edition pairs the smooth, balanced performance of the Wave Rider with a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane that keeps rain and puddles out while preserving the shoe's lightweight, flexible feel. Whether you're running through drizzle or tackling winter miles, the Wave Rider GTX 4 lets you stay focused on your run instead of the forecast.
At the heart of the shoe is Mizuno's latest MIZUNO ENERZY NXT midsole foam, offering an even softer and more responsive ride than previous generations. The lightweight cushioning absorbs impact with ease while returning energy to every stride, creating the smooth and lively underfoot experience that has made the Wave Rider a favourite among daily runners.
Working alongside the cushioning is Mizuno's signature Wave Plate, a technology designed to evenly distribute impact forces and guide the foot through a stable, efficient transition. The result is a ride that feels naturally smooth and well-balanced without sacrificing the versatility that makes the Wave Rider suitable for everything from easy recovery runs to longer training sessions.
To complement its weather-ready upper, the Wave Rider GTX 4 features a durable Wgrip outsole, providing dependable traction on wet roads and slippery surfaces. Combined with the breathable engineered mesh upper and secure fit, the shoe inspires confidence when conditions become less predictable.
From rainy morning jogs to long winter training runs, the Mizuno Wave Rider GTX 4 combines waterproof protection, energetic cushioning, and dependable traction in a versatile daily trainer that's ready to keep you moving whatever the weather.
