If you have low arches and need stability, get these shoes!! You won't regret it. They have great support and look much nicer than most shoes of this kind.

I have used three pairs of the Nirvana 4 and was very satisfied. Wonderful heel and forefoot cushioning. Stability was also great. I purchased a pair of the 5's and upon wearing themn, immediately notice a difference. Not as much cushioning in the rear and developed blisters after running in them. I would recommend finding a pair of the Nirvana 4's.

These are not like the previous Nirvanas. I have foot pain that I've never had with the 2, 3 or 4. I'm always telling people Mizuno are the best, just not this time. Maybe the 6 will be better.

Loved the 4's, got blisters in the 5's which abated somewhat when I switched the 5's sock liner with the one from my old 4's. I've done long with the 5's, and I, too, like the 4's better but was OK with the 5, as long as 10 miles.

I loved my Wave Nirvana 4's and was excited to try the 5's. I feel that there is a lot less fore foot cushioning in the 5's than in the previous model. I notice more pain on the balls of my feet and knees after running in the Nirvana 5's. I only use them on runs under 6 miles due to this and was able to locate another pair on the Nirvana 4's online to use on longer distance runs when the cushioning is ultra important to me.

I've been a Asics Kayano fan for nearly eight years and resisted trying a new shoe for fear of messing with a good thing. After research and an evaulation at a RRS store, i made the switch and LOVE these shoes. I've only run 25 miles or so in them over the past few days, but so far they're great. No big adjustment or need to break them in. It was definitely worth the switch. They're lighter feeling than the Kayano too, which is a plus. If you like the Kayano and need a little extra padding, these are definitely worth a try.

I love the shoe! It's cushioned with just the right amount of support. Just getting over an injury (overpronation and the wrong shoes), my physical therapist recommended the Nirvana. I've never felt better! Without any hesitation, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a stability shoe.

I agree with Seagirl. The Nirvana 4 was a great shoe. The Nirvana 5 had no support and after 1 run my knees were hurting. I thought i was my fault so I ran with the shoes 2 more times and each time my knees hurt. And my feet moved around in this shoes even though I ordered the correct size. The Nirvana 5 was the 3rd Mizuno shoe I ordered this year. I didn't like any of them. So I will be looking for another Nirvana 4.

I have to say I am not the slimest of girls and I need some good support and these shoes are exactly what I am looking for. They have good cushion and great suport.

This is a great update to this shoe. I have gone back and forth between these and asics and I think because of this version I will stick with these for a long while.

These shoes have great support. I love them! I have "falling arches" which lead to shin splints. But one week in these shoes and my shin splints were gone!

Worst shoe ever. My feet hurt- couldn't get through a 5 mile run. No support, no cushioning. I LOVED the Nirvana 2,3 and 4!! Why did they change them for the worse. Gave up Nike for Mizuno looks like I will have to give up Mizuno's now. PLEASE go back to the old model and I will be back.

These are, by far, the WORST shoe that I have ever run in!!! Running in these shoes was TORTURE!! I was aching and hurting the whole way! They have ZERO support, cause major blistering, and have so little cushioning that you might as well just take them off and run barefoot! At least then your feet could breathe!!! I wouldn't recommend these shoes to my worst enemy and they are going back to the store tomorrow!!! Back to my trusty Brooks Adrenaline!

I can not even run in these shoes. I have 4 pairs of Nirvana's and iI love them all but these are not the same you would think the fit would be similar but they are not at all. i use them to run errands in but not for running at all. A waste of money for running.. Love the color and that's about it...

I agree with seagirl- I have never disliked a shoe so much!! I have worn Nirvana's 3 & 4 without a problem plus they right out of the box and took away the knee pain I had had and LOVED them! This pair however, is the WORST pair that I have ever had- the first time I felt like one shoe was bigger than the other and slipping all the time and no cushion like usual. Did a long run and wish I had my old pair back on - felt like there was absolutely no cushion- my heels, balls of my feet and achilles were so sore- very disappointing and are going back today!!

Wow, I wish I could give these 0 stars. I loved the Nirvana 4 - wore them straight out of the box and never had a problem. A single run with these and my achilles is tight and I have pain in my knee. They felt flat and unsupportive. No matter how I laced them, it felt like my foot was sliding all around inside. Perhaps I got a defective pair, but these are definitely going back. Off to go look for the 4s...

They have great cushioning and stability, but the elastic that is connected to the tongue caused a blister. I ordered 1/2 size up and would up with a bruised toenail. Tried a full size up and it still hurt my toes. They were returned for some Kayanos.

I had the nirvana 3 before and loved them and decided to try a new nirvana. Yes, they are light and good for the first 2-3 miles but after that I thought I had needles poking into the balls of my feet. There was no real cushioning and an overall disappointment.

I had the wave nirvana 3 shoes before and I loved them. I'm not gonna lie when I got these I thought they looked flimsy. They're awesome. They still have great support but the feel a lot lighter. I really like them.
