Saucony Kinvara Athletic Shoes for Men - Black/Silver (Medium) Review

I love this shoe but that's because it fits my foot. I have narrow feet so finding the right shoes is a problem. It's fairly comfortable, with a slim profile and minimal upper, making them lightweight (IMO). Not sure what the exact drop is but it seems low (4-5mm?) which is also what I like in running/training shoes. I would give 5 stars but the arch support could be a bit higher but again that depends on my foot. As for the look of the shoe, the pictures are pretty accurate. Gray with orange…

Economic footwear. I wanted something with 4mm drop and this was it. One would say that the outsole is foam rather than traditional construction. This means you can rotate the shoes more than traditional shoes. Some opinions are bad, others are neutral. Shoes are only part of your running success, before you "run” think about running suits and strengthening exercises.

Without a doubt, this pair of shoes is the most comfortable and comfortable pair of running shoes I have ever owned. Usually bought New Balance or Brooks (used NB to match size which worked). Lightweight, comfortable and as mentioned, the bootie style tongue is really comfortable. And in March of this year, they provided Disney with unprecedented comfort and 15,000 to 20,000 steps a day for a week. Just a great overall shoe.

As the name indicates. These shoes are pretty decent for starters. Very light (5 stars in this category), fairly comfortable (4 stars), white soles (not a fan (although I bought them anyway), but after walking once on wet grass, these shoes squeak loudly with every step, only to lower them Outdoor use. And even then it's quite annoying. I'd say if you're buying them for indoor use (gym, walking around the mall, etc.) then I definitely recommend them. If you're buying them for walks outdoors /…

Straight out of the 50 mile break-in period but you feel confident enough to say these shoes are great for <10k runs. They are light and comfortable with a very small drop from heel to toe (about 4mm I think). I've been running shoes with a much larger drop for about a year and have forgotten how nice it is to have a more natural foot position. Disadvantages here will be for the sole. The rubber outsole is very minimal and not very durable. I can already see signs of wear and tear. This is…

After years of working with base level Saucony it's perfect as it's lighter and even stronger. You can really feel the difference in the weight of the shoes. The orange color will fade if left outside.

I'm a walker, not a runner. Saucony fan for years but it only had 8mm offset and I wanted to try 4mm. I like that. 2+ miles a night in them. They are very light, much lighter than some other Saucony shoes in the same price range. Very supportive, like a good husband. We recommend.

I liked the color and it wears well while running, the only downside is that it's narrower than expected in the middle and a little tight for my feet.

My experience with Saucony Kinvara dates back to versions 4, 5 and 6. I even run marathons in version 6 with good results and no issues. I've had several pairs and they've lasted a long time. I then tried other brands with varying or no success. So I decided to go back to Kinvara, this time more for general fitness than for distance running as I no longer have the time or inclination to train for distance competitions. Edition 6 definitely feels roomier in the toe box. Also, Issue 6's fabric…

These just arrived today. They were packaged in a random large box, not the original shoe box. And they were clearly being used. I didn't buy used shoes, I bought new shoes.

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…

If you buy a new pair of shoes to race every year, you'll find that this version has a weak spot behind the heel that breaks when you put it on. I use a horn and they are good but I miss the better heel support in the old version.

Kinvaras are great lightweight shoes but the insole has gotten terrible in recent years. It ripples at the end of the boot.

I typically run in barefoot shoes like the Xero or Five Fingers, but to increase my mileage I wanted to use a more traditional running shoe that is still minimal but offers more support and a little cushioning for longer runs. They are perfect for that. Probably the most comfortable traditional cushioned shoe I've ever run in. Very light which is important to me.

Everything is good except that this size of this Saucony model is slightly larger. My US size is 11.5 and this is oddly a little longer than 11.5.

To me, this is a decent walking or training shoe. I tried running in these shoes a few times but they lacked the cushioning I was hoping for in the forefoot. I prefer a little more cushioning than this shoe.

I run 35-60 miles a week. Medium Leg Racket 6' 160 lbs. I like them because they don't have too much heel or too much padding. When hitting the midfoot, the additional cushioning in the heel area is of no use. 4mm from heel to toe is another big bonus.

I've been running in them for a month now including 5k, 10k, half marathons, Spartan races etc. The only shoe brand I will be buying in the future.

You can't go wrong with Saucony. This model in particular is light, comfortable and very versatile. Everything from running to tennis, this show is great. BTW, this is NOT a fake review lol

The picture shows a light gray bottom of the sole and shoe, but when I received the shoes they were brilliant WHITE! If I wanted white soles I would choose the pair that is white in the picture. Judging by the photos of the product before buying, it seems to me that these are gray shoes.
