Reddit mentions of Mizuno Men's Wave Universe 5 Running Shoe

Not the biggest load, but some load. Breakdown of the 5 technologies in the shoe

• "FlyteFoam 55% lighter...more resilient". Not really BS, but not actually leagues above the competition. All the other shoe companies compare themselves to this standard EVA foam that almost no high end shoes use. The Lunarlon foam from nike is 33% lighter, but what really matters is how light the entire midsole is. You can have the lightest density material, but that's useless if you need to make a really thick midsole. If you want lightweight, go with the Wave Universe (ok, don't but they feel like paper origami shoes)
  
  
• "AdaptTruss ...carbon reinforced..stability system beneath the arch...rigid if the arch of the foot rolls too much". Carbon, that's the marketing BS word. Otherwise, it's a standard stability system, similar to Saucony's power grid, or to Mizono's wave tech.
  
  
• "DUOMAX dual density midsole ...provides adaptive stability". This is too much hype for using two foams in the midsole.
  
  
• "X-GEL ... refinement of the cushioning system". This is nice, but not an industry breakthrough. Ascics love their gel, so this is just another gel system update.
  
  
• "MetaClutch ... newly designed exoskeleton external heel counter". "WE PUT PLASTIC AROUND THE HEEL". This just adds weight to the shoe and adds stability. Nothing fancy here. Fancy is Under armour using a thin rubber-like overlay around the heel

I wear the Mizuno Wave Universe 5's. In a size 10, they weigh 6.28oz. After reading all the threads on BPL about the new vivo ultra shoes, I decided it didn't seem like the best choice for me.
