This is Mizuno’s claimed “softest and most stable” shoe to come from its elite running shoe technology. Weighing in at 9.7 oz, this is the heaviest of the Mizuno shoes that top the list for beginners, but the Horizon makes up for the extra weight by providing superior support and plush cushioning for the runner. This shoe is great for runners who may carry a few extra pounds, as it will readily absorb shock from impact and minimize injury.
