Our verdict

We found the Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil to be a very fun and nimble tennis shoe. Being lighter than average didn't make it any less stable or cushioned, based on our playtests and lab measurements. We were also surprised by its flexible design which added a good deal of maneuverability to our footwork. Minor issues aside, we belive that it is an excellent value for the price.

Who should NOT buy

We only found a couple of mishaps in the Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil which may not even be considered deal-breakers by most players.

Chaussures MIZUNO Stealth Star Jr Mizuno Morelia Neo KL MD or the Mizuno Wave Rider 25 Waveknit Super Wide Pink Blue Wome instead:

  • you are a really aggressive slider and want extra reinforcement on the medial side
  • you tie a runner's knot frequently or have to tie laces really hard (the tongue is too short and thin to buffer the lace pressure)

Breathability

Looking at the shoe's solid polyurethane (PU) upper, we didn't expect it to be highly breathable.

And just like that, our smoke-pumping test proved the shoe's lack of ventilation showing how little smoke passed through its upper.

Uneasy when we hovered the shoe's half-cut upper over a bright light, it didn't reveal any hidden ventilation holes.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil Breathability microscope test

The shoe's PU coverage may have numerous gaps in it, but we found that there is a thickly woven mesh beneath it that doesn't allow much airflow.

All things considered, we couldn't give the Exceed Tour 6 a breathability score higher than 2 out of 5.

Durability

Toebox durability

We were amazed at this Mizuno shoe's ability to resist abrasion! With a 3D-Solid technology covering its entire upper, this shoe is ready for some aggressive court action.

To test the limits of the Exceed Tour 6, we applied a Dremel with a sandpaper tip to the center of its toebox. After drilling the material for 12 seconds at 5K RPM speed and 3.2N pressure, we saw just a minor scratch on the PU coverage!

The tool didn't even burn through the topmost layer!

The comparison photo above clearly shows why the Mizuno shoe scored 4 out of 5 for toebox durability.

The Exceed Tour 6 doesn't have a very pronounced toe drag guard like other shoes (the Mizuno Morelia Neo KL MD for example) but the 3D-Solid technology and raised rubber outsole offer a pretty good level of protection.

Heel Foam durability

Another shoe area that's prone to premature wear due to constant friction is the inner lining of the heel counter.

We held the Dremel against the Exceed Tour 6's heel Foam for 4 seconds and the damage was barely even visible! We applaud the brand's choice of geglaubt for the inner lining.

Mizuno Wave Revolt Wide Black Pink White Women Running Shoe | Outsole hardness

The Exceed Tour 6 uses a proprietary DuRubber compound for the shoe's outsole.

Measuring its hardness with a durometer, we got a reading of 87.6 HC which is firmer than 72% of tennis shoe outsoles.

This is usually a positive sign of durability.

Outsole durability

To mimic the abrasion caused by slashes and slides on the court, we set the Dremel to 10K RPM speed and held it against the shoe's outsole for 22 seconds.

The rubber stood up to the challenge quite well but not better than the average tennis shoe. The tool left a 1.1 mm dent in the outsole.

Outsole thickness

Our only point of concern is how thin the shoe's outsole is compared to the average. With a caliper measurement of 3.1 mm, we found it to be a whole millimeter thinner than average.

Good thing that the Exceed Tour 6 is backed by a 6-month outsole guarantee.

But if you want a lightweight shoe with a much more promising outsole potential, we recommend looking into the Mizuno Morelia Neo KL MD.

Weight

The biggest selling point of the Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil is its lighter-than-average weight.

Weighing it in a men's US size 9, we got 11.7 oz (332.0g) which is true to the official Blue and is about an ounce lighter than the average tennis shoe.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil features two foams stacked one upon another in the heel section of the midsole.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil Heel stack

Combined with the outsole and the insole, they make up 30.2 mm of heel stack height. It's not much thicker than the average but enough to offer plenty of impact protection.

Midsole softness

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

The primary cushioning foam of the Exceed Tour 6 is the updated Enerzy NXT.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil enerzy next

The brand claims that it is their lightest and most responsive foam yet and we can subscribe to that! The shoe did feel very bouncy and offered plenty of energy return. 

However, don't expect it to be a soft foam. Pressing our durometer against it returned 30.9 HA. This is slightly firmer than average.

But in the case of the Exceed Tour, firm by no means implies dead! As we said, the shoe's responsiveness makes it quite fun to play in.

Secondary foam softness

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

To enhance impact protection in the heel, Mizuno added a different type of foam called the PoWnCe. It is supposed to be a more resilient cushioning unit than the Enerzy.

Based on our durometer measurements, the PoWnCe is not much different when it comes to firmness. The durometer reading is exactly the same (31.0 HA).

Insole thickness

Mizuno kept the insole on the thin side for the Exceed Tour 6. We assume that's because they didn't want to take away from the shoe's grounded underfoot experience.

Stability

Las Mizuno las he visto en una web que enlaz

The Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil is a stellar example of a lightweight shoe that doesn't compromise stability. We felt very well supported on forceful lateral cuts and crossover steps.

The shoe features an extra stiff Wave plate to provide stability. But at the same time, it also has a D-Flex Groove running through the midsole to let the shoe bend freely with the foot. That's a rare combination in tennis shoes these days.

Torsional rigidity

Ankle rolls are out of the question in the Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil. The Wave shank makes this tennis shoe exceptionally rigid in the midfoot which makes it hard to twist and prevents the foot from rolling over the edge.

A supportive heel counter is just as important if you want to feel completely stable in a tennis shoe.

It won't let the heel and ankle shift inside the shoe as you make forceful multi-directional movements across the court.

We were surprised by the level of stability offered in this Mizuno tennis shoe because it doesn't have a very wide platform.

Measuring the widest part of its midsole in the forefoot, our caliper showed a modest 106.3 mm. It is narrower than average but not too narrow to compromise stability.

Flexibility

Stiffness

We already mentioned the D-Flex Groove that runs through the shoe's midsole.

On the court, we were amazed at how well it allowed the Exceed Tour 6 to bend along with our feet during turns and pivots.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil flexibility

Measuring its flexibility in our lab, we found that this Mizuno shoe only needs 22.3N of force to be bent to a 90-degree angle!

We don't see that level of flexibility very often. Most tennis shoes need up to 35% more force to do the same.

Grip / Traction

From our experience, the shoe's DuRubber and razor-blade tread pattern provide lots of grip for stopping on a dime, bouncing back from a shot, and feeling stable when cornering.

Mizuno Wave Plate technology promotes better stability between transitions.

Its sliding potential is only revealed after hours of breaking in or when the player applies a lot of force.

Size and fit

Toebox width at the widest part

The Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil offered a one-to-one fit for our medium-sized feet.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil fit

We believe that this tennis shoe favors medium-to-slightly-narrow feet and our measurements confirm that.

In the widest part of the shoe's toebox, our caliper showed 98.6 mm which is narrower than the average reading.

Tongue: gusset type

At first, we were bummed by the lack of gussets on the shoe's tongue.

But as we playtested the Tour 6, we realized that it's not really necessary given the shoe's lacing system.

Lockdown

The Dyna-Eyelet Wrap is Mizuno's approach to a supportive and secure fit that keeps the foot in place during the most dynamic movements.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil lacing

Once we cinched down the laces, we could feel the PU panels tighten up on both sides to wrap our feet.

Mizuno Ténis Mizuno Wave Rider 25 azul branco infantil wave

The shoe also comes with an extra eyelet at the top to allow for a runner's knot. Unfortunately, we found it hard to make use of it because the tongue is very short and thins out towards the end.

This causes pressure and lace bites on top of the foot.
