Mizuno Wave Skyrise 7

Mizuno Wave Skyrise 7 review: what runners say

Fit

Generally universal fit but slightly narrow; true to size for the US market, watch the European conversion (half a size smaller than US sizing).

Feel

Soft, responsive cushioning thanks to the dual-compound Energy Core/Energy Next midsole; plusher feel compared to previous Mizuno generations, with decent ground response and good stability.

Durability

Expected lifespan of 500–620 miles. Robust X10 outsole, particularly durable at the heel; possible accelerated wear at the forefoot for scuffing runners.

Best for

Daily trainer for neutral recreational runners, from beginners to experienced runners for easy and recovery sessions. Suited to paces between 5:45 and 11:15 min/mile; not recommended for long runs over an hour or for runners seeking race-day responsiveness.

Weak points

Weight (260–300 g depending on the source) is a drawback on long runs and for pure responsiveness. The upper has poor breathability despite its perforated appearance.
