"Women's Mizuno® Wave Exceed Court AC: The Women's Mizuno Wave Exceed Court AC is a court shoe built for tennis and pickleball players who want responsive cushioning and stable support through every rally, pivot, and quick stop. At 9.2 ounces, it moves with you without feeling heavy, and the neutral support profile suits players who want a cushioned, natural ride underfoot. If you spend long sessions on hard courts, this shoe is worth a close look.The midsole layers POWNCE foam and a U4ICX insert together - POWNCE gives you a cushioned base without adding bulk, while U4ICX softens the feel where you need it most. Mizuno's WAVE plate sits in the midsole to spread impact forces across a wider area, keeping transitions smooth and stable without a lot of extra material underfoot. ENERZY NXT foam adds energy return that keeps the shoe feeling lively through extended play. The engineered mesh upper lets airflow move through while holding the foot securely, and the X10 carbon rubber outsole handles the wear that hard court surfaces put on high-traffic zones. D-FLEX GROOVE cuts in the forefoot let the shoe bend naturally with your foot, so lateral cuts and quick direction changes feel fluid rather than forced. If you size up half a size, this shoe fits true to that recommendation.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I played a long pickleball session in the Wave Exceed Court AC and really noticed how the cushioning held up through the whole match - my feet didn't feel beat up by the end.
