Trail Test: Mizuno Wave Ascend 7
Mizuno Wave Ascend 7
Some have theorized that there is a perfect trail running shoe. Is this possible? They would be nimble yet sturdy, soft and grippy in the mud but stiff enough to protect from the assaults of sharp rocks.
It would be a miracle to find all this in one shoe, and that is probably why I keep several in rotation.
I have kept a pair of the Wave Riders on hand for the past year or so, but I was unfamiliar with what Mizuno has to offer for the trails. I was recently offered a free pair of Mizuno shoes through their Mezamashii Project, so I decided to try something I hadn’t run in before—like the Wave Ascend 7.
