Customer Reviews Saucony ProGrid™ Kinvara 3

Great shoes. Super light weight. Rubbed my left heel, though - could just be me? Did buy one full size larger than what I wear in "street" shoes.

These are my first Sauconys. I usually buy Nike or Asics. These are colorful shoes and are very light but they do not seem to have the support the other two brands mentioned have. I will keep them but will stick to the other brands from now on.

Cute shoe that felt true to size (I'm an 11.) But I have to agree with the other reviewers who state that the heel comes up way to high in back. So disappointing and I really don't know what Saucony was trying to accomplish. I loved the previous version of Kinvaras, but this is not the same shoe. So disappointing. After wearing these around the house for a few minutes, my heel was chafed and miserable. I sent them back and purchased the Brooks Pureflow 2 instead.

I had and loved my pair of Kinvara 2s, which I used for training and running a marathon and half-marathon. I bought the Kinvara 3, thinking I'd love these as well, but unfortunately after a few months of using them off and on, I can't use them anymore. The toe box seems much narrower, and the back is a bit higher up, which cuts into my ankle every time I wear them. I tried giving them some time and wore them during non-running workouts to try and break them in, but unfortunately the pain hasn't improved. Wish I could return them!

I love the style of this shoe, but was very disappointed in the support. And it has very little cushioning!

I have owned this shoe before and felt that this new model ran a bit wider than the old one. However, I do believe the outer shell is made better. "I like the old style better."

Horrible. They hurt in every way. Feel like Payless quality. They look awesome, but they even hurt for casual wear. I should have returned them but was anxious to have a new pair.

While I loved the color the left shoe made my foot roll to the outside. They are very light weight. To me they felt cheaply made. Although I must admit I would have kept them if it wasn't for the problem with the left shoe. I did like the way the shoe looked. I normally wear a size 10 but ordered these a size larger and they fit. I did return them to Zappos with no problem.

I had the original Kinvara and wore them out. I bought this shoe in a half size larger than I normally wear and they are a little small. It isn't something you notice when you try them on, you feel it when you run. My toe hits the front. The original pair wore out in the fabric before the sole did and I think part of what makes this pair uncomfortable is that what they did to reinforce the fabric has less give.

I have run through 3 pairs of Kinvara 2's and was hoping to have the same success with the 3's. I have been extremely disappointed with the new version. I have worked them in slowly and still can not run more that 5 miles without my feet aching and toes going numb, not helpful in training for a marathon. I strongly recommend the 2's or the 3's, especially for the price. 3's feel wider and I prefer the 2's lace system. I bought the teal and orange because I felt all others will get dirty rather quickly...color is the only feature I like.

I have been wearing Saucony's exclusively for the past 7 years. I have plantar fasciitis and found this shoe at a foot specialty store. I am a a true 11.5 and this brand makes an 11.5...but this is the worst Saucony shoe! It looks and feels horribly cheap. I should have returned them. I will stick with the Triumph from now on like I have always previously ordered.

Disappointing substitute for original Kinvara. My tired old Kinvaras felt terrific right out of the box. Wish I could say the same for this version. They are not minimalist shoes and feel heavy, over-padded, and over-constructed in comparison. The arch support is overkill for my moderate arches. The toe box is too tight even with the laces super loose. I thought I might be able to live with that, but as soon as I took a few steps on my treadmill I could tell that the heel collar was too high and stiff and would rub my achilles raw in no time. I regret not stocking up on the old Kinvaras when I had the chance. May try the new Saucony Spectrum.

These shoes run a full size, if not 1 1/2 sizes, too small. I ordered them for 3 of my girls in a 1/2 size to a full size larger than what they normally wear. All 3 are going back for larger sizes. I would definitely order, at the minimum, a full size larger than normal! I gave the shoe 1 star only because it runs so small. I cannot comment on comfort and support yet - they couldn't get their feet in the shoes! I guess we need Cinderella!

I have been wearing Saucony's exclusively for over 5 years. This is the worst one that I have ever ordered. I should have returned it. Cheap construction and not nearly as comfortable as the others.
