I took a closer look at my Mizuno Precision shoes. They don't seem to have

Yabbut there isn't in mine either. I reckon Mizuno have invented some
devilishly cunning material that promotes rapid osmosis. It'll soon be
marketed as the cure for cancer or something, meanwhile they're making
running shoe midsoles out of the stuff. Shame, 'cause the Mizuno last
suits me to a 't'.

Yeah, I noticed that when I took a closer look at the rider. I think it's
not the grooves that cause the water to get in, it's something else, probably
the "intercool" technology.

Take a close look at the Wave Rider

versus the precision:

If you click on where it says "intercool" on the wave rider page, it shows
where the exhaust vents are.

I have a pair of wave riders and wave precisions with me right now, and I
have checked this -- the wave rider has these little vents, two under the
arch (as shown in the diagram), towards the side of the outsole, and also two
in the heel (sort of hidden underneath the wave thingy). The precision doesn't
have these.

Oh? I didn't know that they had extra support for prancers.

I see 'em, but I don't think that's where the problem originates. When I
remove the insole, the staining (yeah, this subject is getting messy and
unpleasant) is right under the forefoot/toe area, so I'm guessing water
ingress commences somewhere under the forefoot where there are two
cut-outs - ? flex groves? - in the rubber sole which expose the EVA beneath.
I'll further hypothesize that there is no adhesive in this area, thus the
nasty water molecules all hitch a lift on the bus driven by Mr Capillary and
rush upwards towards my nice dry socks.

As Wobbot would say, 'Damn the li'l [censored]!'

You surprise me. I'd have thought that a big boy like you would have known
all about the support for extra-large genitalia offered by the Mizuno range.

Flex groves? A groves of flex trees? Have I discovered a new tree genus?
Of course, I should have typed 'grooves'. Sorry.

I heard they are for those people who say "size doesn't matter", who like to
fool themselves by measuring in centimeters instead of inches.

I suppose you've already considered putting some kind of rubber glue in the
flex grooves with a view to sealing them off ? Just a thought.
