These areas of the shoe are found among the Walk-Trac outsole, forefoot, rearfoot HRC Cushioning. The stretch zones provide the heel strike area with responsive cushioning and reacts to changes in gait. These features guarantee support as you walk. However, the trade-off is a tighter feel.

Mizuno Wave Rider 19

The Wave Rider 19 includes a foam sole and is designed to ease heel pain. The shoe uses Hado technology to provide a “superb underfoot sensation” and cushion for the heel. Despite these features, the shoe is a bit narrow and has a thick tongue. Mizuno has offered a large range of colors for the Wave Rider 19, so you’ll still be able to stand out!

The Best Shoe for Recovery: The Healing Sole

Most shoes that promise to prevent pain and encourage recovery are uncomfortable, oddly shaped and unattractive. The Healing Sole creates an environment for recovery. The shoe is packed with six powerful features that work synergistically to heal the foot. As your foot pushes off, the rocker bottom sole sways to reduce tension. Once your foot meets the ground again, the compressible heel and raised arch absorb the weight of the body, reducing pressure at each pain point in the heel. Soft neoprene straps help to hold your foot in place as you move. The latest version of The Healing Sole is equipped with a durable outsole.
