Back to Results Mizuno Wave Alchemy 6 Manufacturer: Mizuno Price: $90 Reviewed in: Dec 2006 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Stability See Specifications We say: The Alchemy's many devotees will be happy to know that the updates to the 6 are subtle and mostly limited to the upper. For example, Mizuno reinforced the material over the arch area with additional upper overlays so the shoe wraps around the midfoot more snugly. The overlays in the forefoot have been repositioned for a better fit. The eye-stay row­--where the laces connect to the upper--is now more pliable, which allows the foot to flex more naturally. Recommended for runners with flat to normal arches looking for a stable, dependable shoe.
