The Mizuno Wave Drive Z2 is a lightweight table tennis shoe that provides world class performance. Heel wave plate and ap+ ensure optimal cushioning and lightweight properties. Anatomically moulded removable cup insoles maximise comfort and support for table tennis movements. Soft primeskin upper material for increased fit and feel.
Bought the Z2 2020 version. Great looking shoe love the bold dark blue color and unique design. Very comfortable and absorbs shock very well. Sturdy build with perfect weight for excellent traction and movement. Great fit not to narrow or not to wide but just right (size U.S. 9.5, EURO 42.5, JPN 27.5). Mizuno has true sizing and that is what makes their brand very popular along with the gorgeous look. Outstanding outer-soles and inner-soles. Mizuno puts a lot of skill and expertise in designing their table tennis shoes and the quality of craftsmanship shows. Also, bought the Wave Medal 6 2020 Black table tennis shoes and was very happy with them too (my favorite). VERY HAPPY!!!
I'm a fan of Mizuno shoes and especially the Medal series. If you have wide feet, it's hard to find a decent TT shoe. For me, Stiga Liner II for example, is too tight. In general, the Mizuno shoes fit better if you have wide feet. You really feel the difference wearing the Medal compared to cheaper regular TT shoes.
The Wave Medal provides more support compared to Wave Drive, but is does weigh a bit more then Wave Drive. The Wave Drive is an very low weight shoe by the way.
This is my third pair of Mizuno (Wave Medal 2 & Wave Drive Z) and all of them are slight bigger than then actual size. I have size 41 and according to Mizuno's size table, I should choose 7.5. However, this is slightly too big and for this new pair I got size 7 (which is 40.5 according to their size table). Fits just fine!
