Mizuno Wave Horizon 7

With a robust construction that will help all pronator runners, the Mizuno Wave Horizon 7 stand out for maintaining a clear inspiration in Japanese architecture, which only confirms the hegemony of the line as far as as asphalt running is concerned.

As usual with the Horizon, we are talking about a running shoe with a great structure, designed for runners somewhat heavier than average and who have a slightly overpronating stride. A nature that gives it a robust constitution optimal for guiding the runner in each stride.

Therefore, if you are a runner looking for an exemplary model in terms of cushioning, great stability and maximum adjustment to your overpronator footprint, stay and read on because we are going to show you the characteristics of one of the silhouettes that can best fit your needs.

Main features and new features of the Mizuno Wave Horizon 7

Beginning to analyze one of the most developed Mizuno running shoes of the Japanese company, we discover that this seventh edition is up to 3 millimeters thicker in its Mizuno Enerzy midsole. A difference that offers a greater sense of cushioning but does not imply a change in its drop, since it remains at 8 millimeters.

Additionally, the support base is wider, offering extra stability. A wider shape, closely linked to offering effective support, which favors a more natural stride and avoids overpronation. Therefore, as with previous editions of the range, we are talking about a running shoe for runners with a pronated footprint.

In addition, these changes, which are substantial in terms of offering better support, do not have too much influence on its weight, as they only add 15 grams to its predecessor version, the Mizuno Wave Horizon 6. This means that its total structure goes from 320 grams to 335, a miniscule difference for the great step forward made with its innovations, especially with that extra 3 millimeters of foam hidden in its midsole.

Ideal runner profile of the Mizuno Wave Horizon 7

Following in the wake of their predecessors, these Mizuno Wave Horizon 7 stand out for being running shoes aimed at pronator runners. We are talking about a model whose purpose is to offer great support, thanks to a very robust structure that allows runners to maintain a neutral and natural stride without too many problems.

Therefore, we are talking about a model oriented to runners of above average weight, even over 85-90 kilos, who need a firm and stable structure to enjoy their training sessions and competitions away from fast paces. All this offering exemplary shock absorption.

Recommended distances of the Mizuno Wave Horizon 7

As far as target distances are concerned, the Mizuno Wave Horizon 7 is a very versatile shoe. We are talking about a model that will fit perfectly in a wide range of distances, from the shortest to even marathon mileage. Of course, without being able to offer too fast rhythms.
