First off, I am overweight at 220 lbs, low arch, and over pronator. I started with a couch to 5k program about 6 months ago and am now jogging 20+ miles a week training for my first half marathon. When I started the C25K Program I was wearing the Brooks Beast. While I liked this shoe as it prevented shin splint problems I had been plagued with in the past, it still seemed heavy and too stiff. I just switched to the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 7 and can say it is a huge improvement over the Brooks Beast. This shoe feels light yet still has plenty of stability. Highly recommended!

I have really flat feet and overpronate. I've always needed to buy more high end shoes to help stabilize my feet. I've had 2 sets of Mizunos in the past to help support my awful feet, and they worked great... but pretty much would last about a year to a year and a half before I needed to replace them. I also am using Powerstep Pinnacle inserts to help force an arch in my feet.
My last set of shoes were Brooks Beasts and they were decent... but wore down more quickly than the Mizunos, even with the Powersteps inserted. Eventually my feet started to become numb during a run, and my ankles would ache and hurt in the morning. I decided it was time to switch back to the Mizunos.
I ran once in these and they feel great. My old set of Nirvana 4s were heavier and softer, so this is an exciting new shoe that's lighter (even with a Powerstep Pinnacle MAxx inserted) and seem to support me a lot better.
If you're an overpronator, these are awesome. I would have ranked it 5 stars if I wouldn't need the Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx inserts... but my feet are almost defective, so I need them.
Great shoe.
Best Deals on Mizuno Men's Wave Nirvana 7 Running Shoe
Knee troubles limited my running the last couple years and when rejoining the running world I found myself a season behind in style. The Nirvana 7 made a great leap forward in terms of light weightness and comfort. Being a season behind also allows me to buy at a considerable discount. Always a good thing.
Honest reviews on Mizuno Men's Wave Nirvana 7 Running Shoe
Being very flat-footed, I find it hard to locate a good pair of shoes that offer enough arch support and are able to last a while. This shoe felt great for about the first 20 or so runs (2-4 mile each)then I noticed that the support began breaking down. Since then I have added another 10 -15 runs and it is still holding up, but just not as comfortable. I am 6'8" and my weight fluctuates between 205 215 lbs, so I wouldn't consider myself too be heavy. I wouldn't purchase another pair, but instead I will probably purchase another pair of New Balance or maybe experiment with another brand.
