Full details
The Mizuno Wave Prophecy 13.2 trainers are designed for adult athletes and active individuals who prioritize high-performance cushioning and stability. These trainers excel at reducing joint impact during intense movement, offering a unique energy-return system that propels each stride forward; however, users should be aware that the high-tech, rigid Wave plate construction may require a short adjustment period compared to standard foam-sole sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Mizuno Wave technology provides significant structural support which generally benefits those requiring arch stability, but it is always recommended to consult a professional if you have specific medical orthotic needs.
Can I use these for trail running?
They are designed for road and light trail use. They feature excellent traction, but they are not intended for technical, muddy, or highly uneven off-road terrain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, performance running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and the surface conditions.
Are these water-resistant?
The breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow, not water resistance. They will likely absorb water if worn in heavy rain.
What is the best way to clean the gold detailing?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing brushes on the decorative elements to prevent finish damage.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a runner's loop (lace lock) technique to increase tension around the ankle and prevent heel lift.
Material stiffness
This is normal for the Wave technology construction; manual flexing of the sole and regular walking will soften the material over time.
Dirt buildup in the Wave plate structure
Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to safely remove debris from the gaps in the sole unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you are wearing the correct athletic sock thickness before testing your UK size 13 fit.
- Break-in: Wear them for short 20-30 minute walks for the first few days to allow the structural plates to conform to your gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Remove the insoles and wash them separately.
- Drying: Never place these trainers in a tumble dryer or directly against a radiator. Air dry them in a well-ventilated room away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and adhesive components from degrading.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the materials.
