Is the GORE-TEX version worth it over the standard Neo Daichi 10?

If you run often in rain, mud or wet grass, the waterproof membrane and its dry-foot comfort justify the extra weight. In dry climates the standard version breathes better.

How does it handle road sections between trails?

The Enerzy NXT midsole and 6mm drop roll smoothly on pavement, but the deep multi-directional lugs feel slower and wear faster on hard surfaces.

What drop and weight does it have?

It has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs 260g.

Does the rock plate make it stiff?

The rock plate adds underfoot protection without making the shoe rigid; the Enerzy NXT midsole still flexes and feels cushioned.

What is the upper made of?

A woven mesh upper with a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, plus a padded heel collar and tongue and a traditional lacing system.

Is it good for wide feet?

The traditional lacing locks the midfoot, but the fit is best judged by trying it; the waterproof build has less give than mesh-only uppers.

Our take on the Mizuno Neo Daichi 10 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes

The Mizuno Neo Daichi 10 GORE-TEX is a women's trail running shoe built for wet, mixed-terrain runs. It pairs a waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane with a full Enerzy NXT midsole, a rock plate and a Vibram Megagrip outsole with multi-directional lugs. The 6mm drop and Smooth Speed Assist geometry encourage a smooth, efficient stride, and the woven mesh upper keeps it breathable for a waterproof shoe. It suits runners who want one shoe for rainy trails and road-to-trail days, though at 260g it is not the lightest racer and the waterproof build runs warmer than open-mesh rivals.
