Features

Synthetic leather upper with high fit

The upper is secured with laces and tape.  
In summary, the Geo Silencer 8 is designed with a focus on fit.  
The one-piece reinforcement extending from the toe to the heel prevents heel drop upon landing. Beginner athletes in track and field or those with underdeveloped landing skills may find it difficult to land on the forefoot while running, resulting in landing on the heel, which can lead to braking or injury.  
The one-piece structure has functions that reduce heel drop and achieves smooth landing at the forefoot.  
Developed with the concept of "fit to shorten by 0.1 seconds," the upper is designed with a focus on fit, providing a stable feel when worn.

BioLock(R) structure that creates a good fit

The width of the upper is made wider, allowing those with wider feet to wear it.  
Even if you have experienced trouble with the width of spikes, you can wear these spikes relatively true to size.  
The heel features a BioLock(R) structure that powerfully blocks heel displacement, which is common during intense sprinting, enhancing fit.  
This allows for running during intense sprints and cornering in competitions without the shoes slipping off.

A sole that is easy to ground, characteristic of MIZUNO

The pins are arranged in a total of 9 (with 6 fixed pins) in a 2-3-3-1 (outer) configuration from the toe. The number of pins is relatively high compared to other spikes, and the arrangement of the pins spreads over a wide area from the toe to the middle of the forefoot, providing support during ground contact. Additionally, the sole uses a honeycomb structure, achieving a sole that is both rigid and flexible. Moreover, it is very lightweight and durable. On the other hand, compared to other Mizuno advanced spikes, it lacks rebound, so athletes looking for higher rebound spikes should be cautious.

Stable pin configuration and flat sole

The curvature of the sole is relatively small, making it easy to achieve flat ground contact. With a wide pin width and evenly distributed, you can run while cushioning the impact of landing. This spike is highly recommended for practice use or for beginner to intermediate athletes to use in competitions. The rebound is somewhat weak, so athletes wanting stronger rebound are recommended to purchase other advanced Mizuno spikes.
