Mizuno Wave Horizon 7

Mizuno Wave Horizon 7 review: what runners say

Fit

Improved over previous versions: sizing now runs true to width in standard. The 2E width listed on the Horizon 6 ran narrow through the midfoot — reported as resolved on the 7.

Feel

Dual-layer Enerzy cushioning is dense and stable, not soft in a reactive sense. The sensation is one of solidity and control, not energy return.

Durability

X10 carbon rubber outsole shows minimal wear even at 60–100 km. Mizuno is cited across multiple sources as the brand with the lowest return rate for structural breakdown.

Best for

Shoe for runners with heavy overpronation or an unstable foot, long-term walkers, heavier or slower runners covering long distances. Not recommended for those seeking pace or responsiveness.

Weak points

High weight (12.4 oz in size 10) cited by all sources as the primary drawback. The ride is described as flat and lacking propulsion. Some width versions report insufficient midfoot lockdown.
