Changes since the Kinvara 2: the lacing system is different and the 3 has a softer feel to the insole, the toe box feels a bit higher but not wider on me. The outer bands protect the mesh exterior better than the Kinvara 2, as the thin mesh tends to get caught and tear with wear, I think the new bands will help solve that. I did prefer the old lacing method. I do not like the colored laces prefer the white ones. I wear a street size 7 and have to go up a full size and 1/2 with this shoe, which is the same as the Kinvara 2 I own.

I've bought Saucony for years for running. I ended up returning these to Zappos, because the running support on these shoes were terrible. My feet ached after running and 1 month into wearing these the back started making a popping sound. I would try a different Pro Grid more designed for running than the Kinvara.

Super light weight, solid construction. Vibrant colors true to the pictures. I don't think I've ever put on a new pair of shoes and thought, comfy! There has always been a breaking in period. Until these shoes. No lie, they fit comfortably from the start. They flex well with my foot and have the perfect amount of traction for cardio. I haven't had them long so I can't say how they'll hold up long term, but the quality of the shoe is promising.

Yes, these shoes are bright and obnoxious (in the best way). If this is your style, order them now! They are even more bold and rich and wonderful in person. I get comments nonstop about them. They are perfect. Aside from being adorable, they are so comfortable and supportive. They have become my every day shoes.

I walk for fitness and had been having problems with numb toes and a bunion. I read that walkers should use a soft, flexible shoe without an elevated heel. I decided to give these a try, and I'm glad I did. They are incredibly lightweight, have roomy toe boxes, are super flexible and great support. These are funky gorgeous, and always receive compliments.

I have had several pairs of the Kinvara 1&2's and loved them so I didn't think twice about ordering the 3's. On my maiden run they gave me blisters on my heel, the back of the shoe comes up about a half inch higher than previous versions. The mesh on the sides does seem improved and hopefully won't rip out like all of my other Kinvaras did. After the blisters healed, I have been able to break in the 3's, making sure my socks are pulled up high in the back. I hope they fix the heel problem or I will have to switch brands.

I've become a big Saucony fan recently. I love to have something different than everyone else, and their color combinations are always unique. I don't run in these, just wear them to kick around - always comfortable and never clunky, like some athletic shoes.

I have this sneaker in four colors. I use it for metabolic bootcamp (i.e. cross fit) classes which include high intensity interval training with jumps, weight lifting, etc. I do not use these for running - I have another pair of Saucony's for that. I find these shoes to be extremely light, breathable, and versatile. They have good lateral support and I am always comfortable in them. I chose to buy these shoes over and over again because, since having bunion surgery a year ago, when I find an athletic shoe that works, I stick with it. These are THE BEST!

I love this shoe. I ditched my Asics Kayano's and my orthotics and went to this shoe and love it. All my aches and pains disappeared. I also run in the newer 0 mm drop by Saucony and love it as well. And you can't go wrong with Zappos!

These shoes are a great color and are very lightweight. I love that they come in a 10.5. I have never been able to figure out why most shoe manufacturers do not carry 10.5. 10's are a bit snug and 11's flop off my feet.

Loving my new Kinvara 3's. I decided to go lighter weight with these than my previous Sauconys, and so far am totally pleased. I honestly ran faster my first time out with them (totally scientific) I run with Superfeet in my running shoes, and they went in perfectly to the K3s. In fact, they lifted my heel just enough so that I'm not bothered by the higher back on my Achilles like other reviewers have mentioned. Totally pleased with the shoes and will probably buy another pair to have for backup.

Ordered them at noon on Monday and got them less than 24 hours later. These are more than a running flat and they are totally in between a normal running sneaker and a running flat. They are GREAT if you have orthotics and they are very high in the back and great for someone with a high arch. I will be using them for Crossfit and can't wait to go in the morning o try them out! They are very true to size.

I just got the shoes earlier in the mail today, I love them! The color is so cool and they are very comfortable! I always wear Asics Kayano. This shoe gives the support of the Kayano but without the weight! I am ordering another pair now!

My 13 year old daughter absolutely loves her shoes! She loves their comfort and of course their rockin' style. She has had lots of compliments on them from total strangers. Thanks again, Saucony! You've perfectly married style and comfort yet again. And Zappos - you are unlike any other company that I'm aware of in the area of variety, ease of return, fast service, and customer service. What a joy it is to shop with your great company. I tell everyone about Zappos!

I love these sneakers, I'm on my second pair! Not only do they look great on, but they are the best running shoes I have owned to date. I pronate, and always thought I needed a heavier sneaker for support on my heels. But these are as light as a feather and totally give me the support I need.

I bought the purple with pink laces and love the colors! I loved my kinvara 2's, the comfort/fit was perfect! I do like the kinvara 3's but the heel comes up too high and rubs my ankles. I bought the Feetures socks and that solved the problem, hopefully the 4's will have that issue corrected! Other than the heel issue, I really like them! Looking forward to checking out the kinvara 4's in may.

I just ran a marathon in these without any problems. However, the cushioning is very light. If you're not dealing with any aches and pains and are looking for a light, comfortable shoe, these are good. If you are a longer distance runner and need a lot of support, not a great choice. The blue/red color is nice because it pops like the other neon shoes out there these days, but without being truly blinding.

I love the colors of the shoe plus they feel like you are walking on air. A stark difference from the clunky shoes I have worn in the past. There is also cushioning around the ankle area. Great feel, great support, and very lightweight.

Excellent shoe, true to size. it took me a while to find the perfect running shoe for me after battling a hamstring injury that has nagged me for years now. this shoe has provided me with the perfect amount of support! And love how fast Zappos gets the product out to me!

I became a Saucony fan while training for short distance triathlons. Recently I bought two pairs of the ProGrid Kinvara 3's in bright colors for my active job and get compliments every day that I wear them. They are lightweight, flexible and the fit is fabulous. I did order 1/2 size up and put a support insole with a higher arch in them and together they work perfectly.

These fit well and look great. My older Sauconys had a slightly more cushioned feel but I am very happy with these shoes. As always Zappos was great and easy!

I love everything about these Saucony's. I am so happy I exchanged my pair of Newtons for these. I should have stuck with Saucony in the first place. They fit true to size. They have great support. The color of these is brilliant. I get compliments all the time. They are also very light weight. Very pleased. If you are a fan of Saucony, try these out. I would be surprised if you were disappointed.

I adore these shoes!!! Fun, SUPER light, SUPER comfy!!! Still breaking them in for jogging, but they are very supportive and I love the Achilles cushion. I usually wear and 8.5-9 in shoes. My last Saucony were 9s and these are 9- seem pretty true to fit. They seem to have pretty good cushion for running so far. My feet tend to get very hot when I run and these shoes seem very well ventilated so that my feet don't bum up- Plus, everyone notices them! Aren't they fun??
