Women's Mizuno Wave Alchemy 12

The Alchemy 12 is a moderate-feature, maximum-support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-curved shape.

Features:

• Weight: 9.7 oz

Cushioning:

• Mizuno Wave extends from the heel to the midfoot and is composed of an elastic, thermoplastic material shaped in a composite double fan wave pattern. This corrugated design allows for vertical deformation during heel strike to absorb impact while reducing pronation
• VS-1 is positioned in the heel to further provide shock absorption

Midsole:

• AP is a full length midsole copolymer material that provides lightweight, responsive durable cushioning
• Smooth Ride is located at the lateral heel and across the entire forefoot and is a gender specific network of grooves to minimize the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the foot during transition to create a smooth ride
• Extended Wave Plate is located at the bottom of the midfoot and is an extension of the Mizuno Wave. It preserves the torsional rigidity between the heel and forefoot
• Intercool is a full length ventilation system that allows heat and humidity from inside the shoe to exit via ports located in the midsole of the heel

Upper:

• AIRmesh covers the entire upper and provides breathability to keep the foot cool
• Mizuno logo is located at both the medial and lateral sides and functions to help hold the foot in place
• OrthoLite Sockliner is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet
• Dynamotion Fit is Mizuno's design philosophy to create optimal fit with stretch material located in the forefoot and a collar construction that prevents the heel collar from buckling under load

Outsole:

• X10 is located in the heel and forefoot for enhanced traction and is composed of durable carbon rubber
• Sensor Point is located in the medial heel and throughout the forefoot. It is a lugged system that connects the Wave plate to the ground to increase stability and traction
