Frequently asked questions
Wave Mirage or Wave Momentum for a defender?
The Wave Momentum is the stable Mizuno shoe for volley, with its Wave plate and protected toe. The Wave Mirage suits a recreational defender who likes lateral support. In competition, the Wave Momentum remains the natural choice.
Can a libero wear a Wave Mirage?
In casual play, yes, there’s nothing preventing it. A libero who dives and gets up repeatedly will judge the shoe's hold on the foot. The key is that the shoe keeps your foot secure during direction changes.
How to keep the sole grippy?
Dirt clogs the rubber and makes it less grippy. Clean the sole with a damp cloth after your session, and use a suitable cleaner if residues build up.
How to choose the right size in Wave Mirage?
The foot should be held without sliding forward during sudden stops. Measure your foot, compare it to the sizing guide, and try it on with sports socks.
Is the Wave Mirage available in women's sizing?
Yes, the page includes women's models, alongside men's and unisex versions.
