Mizuno Wave Skyrise 7 review: what runners say
Fit
Medium-to-wide forefoot room; European sizing runs about a half size smaller than US. Recommended to order the same US size worn in other Mizuno shoes.
Feel
Dual Energy compound midsole: softer, more responsive Energy Core top layer with a firmer bottom layer for stability. Generous cushioning even for forefoot strikers, with 33 mm of stack at the front.
Durability
Expected lifespan 800–1000 km. X10 outsole is durable at the heel; faster wear in the forefoot for scuffing runners.
Best for
Easy daily training and recovery runs. Well suited for beginner recreational runners or heavier runners, and for experienced runners on recovery days. Not ideal for runs over an hour or marathon-pace workouts.
Weak points
Weight of 300 g (US size 9) is a drawback on longer runs. Less responsive than the Wave Rider 27; no plate.
