Running shoe built for the excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and enhanced stability.
No need for magic potions or exotic recipes, this shoe is real and back for an 8th time!
Dynamotion Fit™ combats the “gapping" that occurs when the heel hits the ground and deforms the midsole (but the upper around the heel counter does not conform). This innovation creates an area of “give" (around the heel collar/cradle) that results in an optimal fit while the foot is in motion.
SmoothRide Engineering™ enables the design of the shoe to reduce shock vibration while increasing flexibility thus yielding a highly comfortable and smooth ride.
AIRMesh™ constructed upper creates a highly breathable, comfortable and cool environment for your foot.
Composite Double Fan Wave™ delivers the ideal balance of control and cushioning while offering an unequaled ride. An advanced combination of materials affords premium motion control and excellent cushioning. Excessive midsole collapse is minimized as the foot lands and rolls medially providing superior motion control.
AP MidSole offers a lightweight responsive midsole material that improves take-off.
VS-1™ rubber compound absorbs forces of impact while promoting dynamic and durable cushioning and a smooth toe off.
Mizuno Intercool™ technology provides a full-foot dynamic ventilation system that rids the inner shoe environment of hot humid air. Blistering is minimized and comfort is enhanced as the foot stays cooler because, as the midsole is compressed, hot air is transferred from the midsole to the outsole and then outside the shoe via a linked system of holes, channels and ports.
X-10™ carbon rubber has been added to high impact areas of the outsole for increased durability and better traction at heel strike.
Durable rubber outsole offers traction and grip. Forefoot portion of outsole features solid rubber and blown rubber blend which yields cushioning, flexibility and durability.
12.00 oz.

Great arch support. Excellent cushioning in the heel area for heel to toe running. Padding around the ankle was not the best. The insufficient padding allowed the shoe to slip a little while breaking it in. Overall good running shoe.

Always Mizuno - After years of trying to find a good running show for my size 15 feet I'm sticking with Mizuno Alchemy. I've been wearing these shoes for the past 3 years and have found them to be an excellent shoe, I also weigh over 240lbs and they stand up to my 25 miles per week training...a great stability shoe (I also wear them with the"superfeet" insole for extra protection).

Reviewer: Wade from Southeast Michigan

Good shoe for bigger runners - I'm a little larger than many runners (6'2", 195 lbs), and I overpronate some. This shoe was recommended to me after I had some foot pain issues (squished nerves between 2nd and 3rd metatarsals). I started using this shoe and the pain went away. That made this my new running shoe.

Great running shoe for moderate pronator - I run about 3-5 miles a day 5-6 days a week. I was previously using Brooks Adrenaline 8 shoes and really liked them but decided to try something in the motion control category so I tried these shoes. I really like the extra support that they provide, I am not flat footed but do have somewhere between a normal and low arch. They're well cushioned and supportive.

I don't particularly like the look, but its super comfortable for walking and running, and flexible and breathable enough on the top that you don't feel it during the day.

This shoe works - After trying three other shoes, this shoe worked for me. No injuries since. Have trained and run numerous races including two half marathons. After approx 400 mi I just got another pair. Great shoe, good comfort & the old ones still look fairly new on top.

Thanks for the VIP treatment. The shoes are for my 82 year old Mom and this makes shopping so easy for a hard to fit foot. Thanks again. Jean T.
