Extremely comfortable and lightweight. True to size and they fit my slightly wide feet great. Better arch support than an Nikes I've owned.

I love these shoes. I normally wear and 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I wanted a semi-neutral shoe but wasn't ready for the 0mm drop... the 4mm is a great in between. They're light weight and actually have great support in the shoe, small arch etc... I tried on a bunch of the new balances, but they didn't feel as good!

These are fantastic shoes! They are just what I was looking for. I wore them for a two mile timed run today straight out of the box and posted a new personal best time. They give you a neutral, ultra-light feel, but still offer shock absorption between you and the ground. I think these are good shoes to start in if you want to work down to barefoot running. They are super flexible, have wide toebox, but a fairly stiff heel, so you are not encouraged to heel strike. They run true to size.

I love these shoes for fitness walking. I also have the kinvara 3 in turq and orange; also very cool. Lots of arch support and no higher heel like lots of running shoes.

I bought these the week they came out. I was running in Asics Gel-Nimbus 13s and 14s and Nike Air Pegasus 32 and Brooks PureConnects (sometimes) before but now I only want to run in Kinvara 4's! They are awesome...super light weight and when I was alternating my shoes I could tell how much heavier my other shoes were so now I only run in the Kinvara 4's and I just love them and will be getting a new pair soon because I'm wearing out my current pair! If you are serious about running and are not just looking for a "cute pair of shoes" then these are great! They aren't the cutest shoe but who cares!

I ended up buying two pairs of these shoes. I loved the first ones so much. They were true to size and very flexible/lightweight. I always put my own inserts in because I have a high arch.

These are very comfortable sneakers. I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur and these provide a lot of cushioning at a great price. I take a size 10 but felt like these ran a little small so I ordered up a size but the 11 was too big. The 10½ is a good fit, especially with medium weight socks. They look sharp - I have had a lot of compliments on them and they give my feet the comfort and support they need. Zappos' customer service is amazing and they have the best return policy. No hassles, quick to credit my account and free shipping both ways. It took me three tries with the sizes but it only took three days to get the pair that I needed because they are so fast with shipping. Thank you! You have a loyal customer in me!

I have been running in this 4mm drop shoe for 2 years. Corrected my stride but has a little more cushion than the omm drop which is helpful for running on dirt paths.

I LOVE these shoes. I have been wearing Nike Pegasus for about 6 years, since getting fitted at a running store. I needed a new pair and wanted something different. I am a neutral runner, so don't need much. These are SUPER light and comfortable and really cute--lots of compliments on them! Would definitely recommend them!

I have run with Asics, Nike and Brooks. First time trying Saucony and I really like the feel. This shoe does not try to change your running gait and is very comfortable without being overly cushioned. My toes and heels have felt tight in other brands but they have room in this shoe.

These shoes are fantastic!! I've been wearing Saucony's for years as I have wider foot. The Kinvaras were recommended to me and I'm so happy they were! They felt great and light weight right out of the box. I also love the fun colors. Zappos has a fantastic price on these shoes and with free shipping you can't go wrong!

I could NOT be more delighted with this shoe and the prompt delivery from Zappos! Shoe fits perfectly, exactly what I was looking for, lightweight, stylish and a wide width that doesn't look like a wide shoe! So excited to try them out and get going on my summer walking with my new puppy!

I don't usually do reviews but these shoes are so great I decided to. First I ordered size 8 which is a half size larger than I normally wear. I know Saucony runs small. They were a little too tight, so I exchanged them for an 8.5 which is a whole size larger than I wear in all other shoes. They fit great! Love the bright color. Looks red in picture but is a nice pink in person. I have problems with shin splints and heal pain. I walk my dog 2-3 miles daily on hard pavement. These are so comfortable!

It is so easy to shop Zappos. My most recent purchase is a pair of Saucony running shoes. I chose the black ones with a sort of neon pink laces because I often wear them running errands, going shopping, even lunch with "the girls!" They look great - I've even had a couple of women ask where I got them. Love the return policy, the fast FREE shipping - everything about Zappos! I have purchased two other pairs of shoes because they have my size 10 1/2! What's not to like?

Best minimalist running shoe I've ever tried. This is my sixth pair of Kinvara. They are my tried & true fave running shoe. Have tried some other popular shoes by Newton & Hoka, but found them far inferior to the Kinvara. I have very high arches & need support in that area, these shoes work perfectly.

This is my 1st pair of Saucony's and I LOVE THEM. Not only do they provide great arch support, but the color schemes are fantastic. You don't have to sacrifice the look of the shoe for its performance. The color is a lot pinker in person--closer to an electric hot pink rather than a coral, but I am happy with them nonetheless! This definitely will not be my last pair of Sauconys. :)

I love these shoes! They are so light weight and minimal but adequate support. They also clean up well. I run about 20+ miles/week and this is a great shoe for me. My 18 yr old son and 14 yr old daughter are both in track and cross country and wear them. They recommended them to me and I am very happy!

I have finally found a pair of shoes I can run in without getting shin splints! YAY! This had become a big issue for me in the past two years. Even walking shorter distances (<2miles) would give me shin splints and I would be in pain for days. I was about to head to the podiatrist for a solution (cha-ching! orthotics? physical therapy? idk...) but happened to try these shoes on at the store and then put them to the test. I was very pleased and have been running and walking in them for about two weeks now without problems. :) No regrets on this purchase!!!

Disappointed as they were too small, I wear a small five as many size fives are too big, like with light weight. Sadly sending back. May consider ordering larger size next time.

I ordered these shoes based on the great reviews it had. I have been a Saucony fan for years and I have always bought the same shoe. I went out on a whim on these and ordered the same size I always get. They were a bit snug but have broken in nicely. These shoes don't seem to have the great arch support I have loved from my tried and true Saucony's over the years. They have great heel support and I am sure the arches will give a little once broken in a bit.

I'm a mid-to-forefoot striker and so far these shoes have been great for training runs. Really lightweight but enough cushioning for comfort. True to size, so if you need extra room I'd recommend a half size up. These shoes are going to become a staple for my training - I highly recommend them, especially to mid-foot runners.

These shoes were quite comfortable for me right out of the box and have gotten more comfy with additional wears. It's the most "minimal" pair of running shoes I've ever owned. It only took me a couple runs to get used to the low drop. I got these shoes in the black with pink accents and I also really like the way they look. Very pleased so far.

These shoes were exactly what I was expecting. They feel great - they don't hurt my feet at all.
