Mizuno Wave Horizon 7 review: what runners say
Fit
Improved fit over previous versions: true to size, no need to size up. The wide (2E) version ran narrow in the midfoot on the Horizon 6; Horizon 7 partially corrected the issue.
Feel
Maximum cushioning with dual-density Enerzy: soft underfoot, but the ride lacks responsiveness. Stable and planted, with no lateral foot movement.
Durability
High durability: carbon rubber X10 outsole holds up well to wear. No early breakdown patterns reported. Expected lifespan above category average.
Best for
Suited for runners with severe overpronation, heavier runners, or beginners tackling longer distances. Also works for walking and all-day on-feet use, especially during injury recovery.
Weak points
High weight (335 g / 11.8 oz) flagged as a drawback for those wanting any degree of responsiveness. The ride is described as flat and uninspiring. Some reports of poor breathability.
