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.

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 very comfortable and look great whenever I wear them! After reading reviews I did go 1/2 size up, and I am pleased with the fit.

These shoes are very comfortable and have a good amount of support. They are very snazzy and cute as well. I had a foot surgery a few years ago and they accommodate all my foot weirdness.

Very happy with my Kinvara 3's. This is my second pair. They do seem to run a bit smaller than the Kinvara 2. I would recommend going a half size up. The outside seems a little more "plasticy"/less meshy than the Kinvara 2 which makes putting them on a little harder but the half size up helped with that! I use these to run and for high impact gym classes (step, kickboxing). They are the only ones I found that didn't make my arches scream in discomfort! They are very light and flexible. Love them!

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 loved this shoe but had to return it because the heel support sits higher than other shoes and rubs the back of my ankle. On the bright side I also bought the Ryka "equation" and they are awesome!
