Back to Results Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3 Manufacturer: Mizuno Price: $135 Reviewed in: Feb 2007 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Stability See Specifications Disclaimer WE SAY: The latest Nirvana is built on a new last (foot form) that is roomier in the arch and forefoot and snug in the heel, so the shoe will accommodate a wider range of foot types. Mizuno also redesigned the arch-side support columns just below the Wave plates for better stability and durability. Our lab tests showed the Nirvana to be slightly more flexible than its predecessor, which will help lightweight runners. We recommend this shoe for runners with normal arches looking for a durable trainer with a great fit.
