Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Saucony.
In 1977, after many long years being kept a close secret, Saucony® men's shoes and women's shoes were recognized by a small group of serious runners and received an award given by a US magazine. Stemming from that day, Saucony® shoes and clothing have built a reputation for high quality and innovative technical performance for which it is known today.

Four years later, the Saucony® Jazz O, the most popular Saucony (now Saucony® Original) shoe to be made, was launched and in 1991, offered a midsole comprising both cushioning and stability-GRID® resulting in men's and women's shoes that delivered a superior ride.

At Saucony®, they exist for runners. Runners inspire them, bringing new ideas and force the Saucony® brand to be better inside and out. They are the inspiration behind the design and engineering of Saucony's best-made products. Runners keep them competitive, hungry and driven but mostly, honest.

Whether in a conference room, or out on a lunchtime run, Saucony® employees are constantly talking about and arguing about their running clothing, shoes and accessories. They are passionate about their products and run in every product they make. This focus and passion fuels them to create the best Saucony® running pieces on the planet. And they keep an eye toward the future when producing Saucony® kid's shoes. Doing so allows them to come to work each day knowing they've done everything to make runner's lives, regardless of age, just a little bit better.

At Saucony®, a good day is when they get to run. A great day is when they inspire someone else to run.

These shoes are awesome. I'm training for the Tough Mudder and these things are helping out a lot. Water flows right out of them, I step on rocks and I'm not nearly in the pain that I should be I'm thinking of getting another pair. Just get a size bigger than usual.

I am new to Saucony Kinvara and find the shoe awesome on a rooted and stone trail. The shoe holds the foot snug and with the low center of gravity - it's an ankle saver for me. Other reviewers commented on size and based on their info, I ordered two sizes to be sure I had the right fit the on the first order. For the casual trail runner, you won't be disappointed - my previous shoe was a Merrell trail glove which did not offer enough padding (for me) for stones and tree roots. The shoe offers great traction on dirt, gravel, pine straw covered trail, and roots. My weight is 227 pounds - size 13 shoe - however, the best fit was 14 for me. Matched up against previous Saucony's - the shoe appears smaller than 13's.

I really like this shoe! I'm a loyal Kinvara customer so I had to give this a try. I will say that it's not exactly the Kinvara for trails, it definitely has its own nuances that make it different than the regular version. So when I first put them on I was a little concerned that the toe was snug, but after wearing them for a while and doing some technical trails I actually came to enjoy the fit. Because it does have a conforming fit, I found that my foot didn't move around much at all, which is usually what causes my bruised toe nails. I bought the same size as my Kinvaras and I liked that fit, but if you wear a thicker sock or want a little more room in the toes (or have a custom insert), I think I would suggest going up a half size.

I'd also recommend: New Balance Minimus, Inov8

As others have mentioned, the shoe runs very small. Order two pair and keep the one that fits best. Haven't tried running in the shoes just yet - they seem much nicer and much more comfortable than my Merrell Barefoot trail glove.

In my size, my toe was right up against the toe protector of the Kinvara TR, so you should get at least a half size up from your usual. This was not a problem in the kinvara 2 for me because there was no toe protector in that road shoe and the fabric was flexible enough to accommodate my foot size and any swelling from the run without causing any problems. But this is a trail shoe meant for rough terrain, and the toe protector is more solid and already cramps the toes slightly before you even begin to run. So, if you are getting these because you had the kinvara 2 in your regular size and loved it, size up a half or you will be disappointed. Aside from that, these shoes are a good transformation of the awesome Kinvara for the trail.
