I've been running Saucony Kinvara for over a year now. My only complaint with them is that the cushioning only lasts about 250 miles. That makes it pretty expensive.

After mastering forefoot and toe landing in a minimalist shoe, I dove into the natural world of barefoot running with Merrell Road Gloves and other nearly unsold shoes. But then fatigue fractures followed. Ouch. It's time for more additions. After much research. Newton…
