Les Miz...

What's new for fall with Mizuno? Not a lot!.

The Alchemy is getting a new more breathable upper.

The Precision is the only shoe having any major work. They are using smooth ride technology in the heel. The base is being widened and they are adding small Pebax rails for a little extra torsional rigidity. By widening the base and adding the rails it increases the stabilty without making the shoe firmer or posting it. Don't worry, it isn't a stabilty shoe. It will stay light and flexible! The upper is very breathable. The claimed weight (remember they use the lightest one) for men's 9 is 9.9 oz (women's 7 is 8.4 oz).

Outside of some color updates that's it.

Oh, wait! For you women into cross country, they are introducing a new x-country flat just for the girls. It is called the Kaze 2 (same name as the men's) but it will be the first time they built a women's specific model. Not only does it use a women's last, but it is prettier!

Thank you and have a pleasant ...
