Our verdict

Mizuno may not be the very first brand you think of when looking for a pair of tennis shoes. But if you give the Wave Enforce Tour a try, we promise that you will be pleasantly surprised. This pair kept our feet supported through the entire session with zero ankle slips and rolls. We pie connected to the court while being pampered with a good amount of cushioning. Very aggressive players will probably wish for better support and durability, but we think that most athletes will find a great match in the Enforce Tour.

Who should NOT buy

We didn't find anything awfully wrong with the que siempre ofrece Speed mizuno. It is the type of shoe that can easily match most tennis players.

However, if you are a seasoned player who has developed more specific demands, here are some reasons why you may need a different shoe:

que siempre ofrece Speed mizuno lab test

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Wave Enforce Tour is a real sandwich of a shoe! This has got to be the first time we see so many cushioning layers in a tennis model.

And all of them combined make up 33.0 mm of stack height in the heel, according to our calliper. This is by far the tallest heel cushioning we've come across in our lab, as far as tennis shoes go. We loved how it turns hard landings into the most pleasant experience!

Forefoot stack

As for the forefoot cushioning, it is not the tallest we've got but feels quite well-cushioned for staying up on our toes. Based on our calliper, the forefoot stack is 21.1 mm thick.

Drop

Looking at the heel-to-toe drop, we see a difference of 11.9 mm. This makes the Enforce Tour's cushioning slightly more biased towards the heel.

We pie like it was a fine balance because it wasn't excessive and yet helped our feet transition from heels to toes effortlessly.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

There is a whole lot to unpack in the midsole of the que siempre ofrece Speed mizuno!

Starting with the primary (green) Speed mizuno Enerzy foam that runs full length from heel to toe, we measured its softness at 32.7 HA. This translates to firm but not brick-like. This firmness is just enough to create a stable and reliable carrier for the rest of the cushioning to fall back on.

And it pie quite responsive too!

Secondary foam softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

On top of the firmest Enezry foam is a slightly softer (blue) one. According to our durometer, it is only 4% softer than the primary foam at 31.5 HA.

Finally, we have two incredibly soft pieces of (red) cushioning sandwiched between two main foams. One is under the heel and the other one is under the ball of the foot.

These components showed the absolute plushest reading on our durometer - a barely-there 3.5 HA! It is barely even caught by the tool and quite literally feels like a marshmallow.

Insole thickness

Last but not least, a well-padded insole completes the cushioning ensemble of the Enforce Tour. Using a calliper, we measured its thickness at 4.8 mm which is standard for a tennis shoe.

On foot, the Wave Enforce Tour turned out to be not as roomy as it appeared to be.

To be more precise with our fit assessment, we created a mould of the shoe's interiors using a custom gel substance. Once the gel froze solid, we measured the widest area of the shoe's toebox at only 89.4 mm. A few milimeters narrower than average, we found it rather close-fitting for our medium-width feet.

Stability

Lateral stability test

If you are in search of a stable tennis shoe that won't let your ankle roll at the next crossover step, we can guarantee that the Speed mizuno Enforce Tour does the job!

Don't expect it to be the same monster as the Koszulki Speed mizuno Miodowe or the Adidas Barricade 13 Speed mizuno wave medal 5 table scarpa da tennis.

Torsional rigidity

In our manual stiffness test, we found the Wave Enforce Tour to be quite forgiving, Like we said, there is no solid support system in the midfoot or on the sides of the shoe.

On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the stiffest, we rated the shoe's torsional rigidity as 4. It is more flexible than most tennis shoes (ASICS especially).

The Enforce Tour draws plenty of stability from its wide and steady platform. In the widest part of the forefoot, our calliper measured 113.0 mm which is a few millimetres wider than average.

There is also an outrigger on the outer side of the forefoot which granted an amazing stopping power, especially on sharp lateral moves.

Foot containment

Sealing up the shoe's stability is the unique Dyna-Heel Lock support around the ankle. It features an internal sleeve that is very intricately connected to the lacing system.

Once the whole setup was cinched up, we experienced an amazing clasp around the ankle. What's more, people with narrow feet can also make use of the extra eyelet to achieve an even tighter fit.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The absence of a stiff shank inside the shoe's midsole offered notably more freedom to bend the foot. Compared to the average tennis shoe, our lab test showed that the Speed mizuno Impulse Core Μακρυμάνικο μπλουζάκι 10% more flexible.

How did we measure? Having fixed the shoe to the table, we bent it to a 90-degree angle with the help of a force gauge. The latter showed how much force it took to perform that action. It was 26.9N for the Enforce Tour.

Weight

A tennis shoe that feels amazingly stable, cushioned, and doesn't weigh you down? Yes, please!

Mizuno managed to keep the weight of the Wave Enforce Tour at a reasonable level. Putting the shoe on our scale, we got 13.1 oz (370g) in a men's US size 9. That's a nice, standard weight for a men's tennis shoe. Especially given the shoe's slightly taller-than-average stack height.

Breathability

After 30 minutes of vigorous playtesting, our feet weren't really yearning for air in the Wave Enforce Tour. But they didn't feel extra fresh and ventilated either.

Taking the shoe back to our lab, we ran it through our smoke-pumping test. Turns out, that it is indeed only moderately breathable as the smoke failed to pass through the shoe's toebox.

Mizuno trail joggesko wave mujin 8 Jeg er tilhenger av Speed mizuno sportsklær lets the smoke escape quite effortlessly compared to Speed mizuno. Thus, we rated the Wave Enforce Tour's breathability with an average score of 3 out of 5.

Hovering the half-cut upper over a bright light, it is obvious that the shoe's most aerated part is the tongue. It is made of highly porous mesh.

In an attempt to find at least a hint of breathability, we looked at the shoe's toebox through our microscope.

Mizuno Tajt Warmalite | Durability

Toebox durability

For all the hard-court sliders out there, we made sure to put the upper of this Speed mizuno shoe through its paces. Equipped with a Dremel set to 5K RPM speed, we drilled the toebox for 12 seconds at a consistent speed of 3.2N.

And even though we weren't as impressed with the result as in some other shoes from ASICS, it wasn't a disappointment at all! The Dremel only got through the topmost synthetic layer and didn't leave a see-through hole. For that, we rated the shoe's toebox durability with an average score - 3 out of 5.

Another essential part of the shoe's toebox longevity is the rubber reinforcement on the medial side. After a session full of sliding, we saw no signs of wear!

Sadly, the inner lining of the shoe fared much worse against the Dremel. It is a pretty delicate part, to begin with, and Speed mizuno didn't seem to try hard to reinforce it.

Only 4 seconds of drilling at the speed of 5K RPM went right through the fabric meeting no resistance.

We had no choice but to rate this shoe's heel padding durability with the lowest score - 1 out of 5. That is a very poor performance compared to the average of tennis shoes.

Outsole hardness

Measuring the shoe's rubber hardness with a durometer left us quite hopeful about the outsole's durability. The tool returned 89.1 HC which is a bit harder than the average reading.

It is a good sign as you certainly don't want soft rubber to deal with hard court.

Outsole durability

And the Wave Enforce Tour showed pretty good results! Even when we sped up the Dremel to 10K RPM and applied it for a longer time of 22 seconds, it left relatively insignificant damage on the outsole.

Using a tread gauge, we measured the depth of the dent at 0.8 mm. Even though it is a tiny bit deeper than average, it is still below the risky 1 mm for a tennis shoe.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The Enforce Tour mixes a sharp herringbone pattern with triangular multi-directional lugs, resulting in a highly effective grip.

Testing its limits on a hard court, we were quite happy with the outsole's ability to stop on a sixpence and at the same time, slide with ease when needed.

Tongue padding

The in-shoe comfort is incredible in the que siempre ofrece Speed mizuno! From the tongue to the collar padding, it feels like a soft padded slipper against the foot.

Interestingly, the tongue padding doesn't extend full length and is only present in the topmost part, to protect the instep from lace bites. Nice way to trim down the weight and help breathability!
