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.

These are racing flats, which means the lightweight is at the price of minimal protonation control. If you are a very neutral runner, these would be great for you. But if you need support (as the 1-star review Coleen stated) these are a bad choice. I would advice not to buy according to brand, but to buy according to running shoe type (neutral, support, extra support). Some shoes that would be in the same category as these (racing flats): Adidas adizero Adios, Nike lunaracer, Mizuno Ronin If you are a neutral runner and want just a tiny bit of support: Mizuno Wave Rider, Mizuno Wave Precision (both really comfortable!). I don't need a whole lot of support, so I can't advice on support shoes. If you're buying running shoes for the purpose of running, it's better to go to a running specialty store so they can see your running style and recommend shoes accordingly. They will allow you to run in them so you get a feel. Otherwise, buying running shoes blindly is a waste of time/money--especially when you can't return them! Hope this helps!
I'd also recommend: Adidas Adizero Adios & Nike Lunaracer (narrow midfoot region though)

I am not an athlete. I bought these shoes because the color was completely kick-ass and I fell in love on sight. I put them on and it was truly nirvana. They are soooo lightweight, fit like a glove, awesome support and cushioning and all day long people ask about my shoes. They are AWeSOMe! I'm on Zappos to buy another pair in a different color. Sizing is off, though. Even a shoe salesperson I know told me this runs at least a 1/2 size to full size small.

My daughter made the transition from Kinvara 2 to Kinvara 3 with no problem. She goes through 4 pairs per year. She liked the Kinvara 2 colors better.
