Mizuno Wave Rider β GTX Black Sand/Black/Chicory Coffee - Our FAQs

1. Is the GTX version fully waterproof?
   Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane resists water while allowing moisture vapour out, so your feet stay drier than in standard mesh shoes.

2. How heavy are these?
   Roughly 380 grams per pair, offering weather protection and cushioning without becoming overly bulky.

3. Is this shoe good for long runs or marathons?
   It performs well for longer distances thanks to the cushioning and durable outsole, though individual comfort depends on gait and terrain.

4. Can this be used offroad or on wet trails?
   It’s mostly built for urban streets and mixed surfaces; light trails could work, but deep mud or steep offroad sections may challenge the grip.

5. Will it feel stiff at first?
   There may be a short break-in period as the Gore-Tex and suede settle, but comfort improves quickly with a few runs.
