In their words

To say these shoes are comfortable is the biggest understatement i can come up with. They feel freaking amazing and the colour is absolutely spectacular! I normally wear Horizon 06s but thought I'd try a different one and these bad boys have now become my favourite ever shoe!

Cam A. · verified purchase · mizuno.com.au

Terrible running shoes. I have been a runner for 20 years and these shoes are the worst I have ever run in. I always run in a size 8. 5 running shoe and so ordered that size for these shoes. When I put on the shoes initially they fitted ok, but once I started running in them the shoes stretched and after a while became loose around my feet. Can’t run in them now.
