Nice shoe, but slightly too small. Ordered size 13 which usually works with Saucony. This shoe was 1/2 size too small. Thanks for a great return policy!

My son runs track and he loves these shoes. However, this is our first time ordering the Kinvara's through Zappos and he was very disappointed. His size 9 shoes were more like a size 5 even though they were marked size 9. In fact, when he measured them against the two pair of size 9 he already owns they were many inches smaller. We are now afraid to reorder in case all of the ProGrid Kinvara's are sized wrong.

Being an avid runner, I've worn just about every brand of shoe from Nike, Mizuno, New Balance, and Asics. All of these served their purpose but there just seemed like something was missing; either I got hotspots, foot pain, etc. Then I decided to purchase the Kinvara 2 based on all the good reviews and so far, they are what everyone has said they are. No foot problems, lightweight, and just a great shoe right out of the box. I've had them now for a few days and have put about 20 miles on them. So far no problems. If all goes well, I see myself continuing to purchase these shoes... unless Saucony comes out with a better shoe!

The shoes fit great. Not only are they a good running shoe but, also comfortable and not too bulky for exercises like squats where you want to feel the bottom of your feet. Very secure fit, great movement, very light.

After wearing four pair of these myself...so many great colors...I talked my husband into trying them. After all, it's Zappos...they can easily go back! He knows that from my vast experience, the Zappos boxes arriving...not so much going back! As I do, he loved them. Lightweight, comfortable, great fit but yet enough support. Saucony brand is now our favorite for athletic shoes and he wears his for daily wear, too.

NO need to break in. Phenomenal out the box! Best running shoes I've ever owned. My only wish might be for other color patterns, but the current ones are fine.

I really love these shoes. They fit perfectly and offer just the right amount of cushioning. Tried many shoes in the last 13 years and these are the best for me. My other shoes are bare foot runners for Crossfit and the Sauconys are a perfect blend of minimal and cushion.

These are excellent running shoes! This is my 1st pair of the Kinvara 2 Model. They are my 6th pair of Saucony Kinvaras if you count the previous 5 previous pairs of the original Kinvara model that I previously bought and wore. Of those 5 pairs I averaged getting between 260 to 280 miles for each pair that I've worn. These running shoes have a great groove! They are a great running shoe.

Impressed with the updated model. The upper seems more durable than the last version. This is a great lightweight shoe.

Nicely built, comfortable shoe, but too cushioned for me. I'm officially a size 8 but that felt too narrow for me so I tried and 8.5 and it fit perfectly. The minimal heel stack 4mm on these felt really good, and they were really comfortable, but the sole is well cushioned and I like something a little firmer, especially for tempo runs. This shoe would be good for someone just starting to try running with a midfoot strike or someone just looking for a nice comfy shoe.

I made a switch from the adidas adizero Aegis 2, and am very glad I did. Nagging knee paid disappeared, and my feet aren't at all tired after a 20 mile run. The shoes are breathable, flexible, and very comfortable. They are a good shoe for transitioning from a more conventional to a minimalist style. The shoe ran about a half size smaller than marked. The toe box is somewhat tight, but may have been mostly to the fit being about a half-size too small.

Great minimalist shoes; however, they run half a size small. I'm 10.5 in Nike Free Run shoes, and bought these in the same size, but they are tight. An 11 would be a better fit.

Simply the best running shoe I've ever worn. Comfortable, responsive, super light and fast. I'm taking minutes off my best times in these. Fortunataly they suit my foot strike perfectly but they may take some getting used to if you're a heel striker. Can't recommend them highly enough. Superb!

Great shoe. I have been wearing VFF's but was not happy running on pavement with them. These seem to be a great alternative so far. Very lightweight and breathe well.

Amazing shoe. If you buy into the natural stride theory, these shoes perfectly blend the minimalist shoe with a comfortable road shoe. Definitely promotes landing on the forefoot and after a 9 mile run my feet felt great. Super lightweight. Only issue I found is that I wear a size 9.5 in Asics, but need a 10 in these.

So far so great! Coming from Newton Sir Issac's these are a treat. Responsive comfortable and quiet. If you're a midfoot runner buy these shoes, you won't regret it.

Awesome running shoe. If you have a wide foot go a 1/2 a size up. I'm getting a second pair because inevitabley when some thing is great they change it.

I am very pleased with these shoes. Running and walking these shows provide ample stability and are very very light. Some light weight shoes I've tried do not offer nearly this much support and stability. I am going to buy another pair as a back-up.

First time putting these on they felt like lightweight slippers, walked around on the carpet and some light jogging on the treadmill to make sure they were good. Took them out on the road and everything changed, after 1 mile of jogging the right shoe arch started digging into the arch of my right foot. Almost feels like the shoe wasn't assembled straight. Not sure if I got a dud of if my feet simply don't agree with these. I will give them one more try before checking into warranty. Definitely get .5 size bigger than normal.

Very comfortable shoe accept that they are about 1/2 size too small with a more narrow toe box than I prefer. I'm returning for a larger size to tryout.

Others have indicated a half size. I had to go up a full size, but once I did they felt great. I use them for moderate distance running (5 to 10K) and strength training.
