Review on Saucony Kinvara Athletic Shoes for Men - Black/Silver (Medium) by Craig Walters

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Outsoles not durable

Context: I've been a staunch Saucony devotee for over 10 years and have had several pairs of Kinvara shoes that have lasted over a year with normal wear for light running and walking. These Kinvara 12 only lasted 2 months. and a few runs before the outsole wears out completely to almost completely (see photo). This made them extremely slippery and prone to slipping on any smooth surface. It also made them very uncomfortable to wear and felt like they were "flexing" because the outsole was completely worn down on the balls of my feet. I like to wear my shoes for a long time so as not to be wasteful, but I had to give these shoes away for 3 months. I'm sorry to say this, but after years of exclusively buying Saucony, I will now look to other brands for minimal coverage. weight shoes.

Pros
  • This is my second Kinvara 12, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate breathability for people who sweat profusely while running.
