Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 4 W

This shoe has a minimalist feel, very lightweight. Perfectly-placed cushioning around heel and mid foot, with a super flexible sole. If you like running on cushy shoes that feel like pillows, this is not your best choice. But if you are looking for a minimalist option for a neutral stride, these are a great option. Only drawback is durability- I wore through the very thin mesh upper at the pinky-toe (both shoes). But I purchased again knowing I sacrifice durability for lightweight, breathable and cute running shoes. Can't beat Zappos service, as always!

Love these shoes. They are extremely light and flexible. The fit is true to the size. Always get comments on the color.

WOW! I ordered these 2 days ago and received this morning. Speedy delivery, as usual. Anyway, this is my second pair of Saucony shoes....and I have to say these are TERRIBLY AWESOME! So extremely comfortable and do have some support in them. They feel better than expected. It is true you should order 1/2 size up (I wear 6.5 but ordered 7 and they are perfect)! I can't believe how light-weight they are and look forward to getting a lot of wear out of them this Spring/Summer 2014. The purple/neon yellow combo looks FABULOUS. Like eye candy! I will be ordering from Zappos again and definitely more Saucony shoes in the future. I might even get these in a different color to change things up a bit. VERY PLEASED. :)

These shoes are amazing! They fit great and do not cause any irritation in the heel. They are super lightweight and great for running.

I absolutely love these shoes, I am on my second pair and will never get another brand of running shoes. I am training for a marathon and my feet don't hurt after my long runs. They are comfortable, lightweight, and overall a really good running shoe.

I am a big fan of Saucony sneakers for cross fit, running, all workouts, and the color/style offered are amazing and fun.

I have neuropothy and fibromylgia so it is hard finding a shoe that will not hurt my feet, yet has support. The Saucony Kinvara 4 W has very good arch support. This shoe does not hurt my feet at all. It runs true to size and is a very good looking shoe. I got the black and pink.

This is my 3rd pair of Saucony Kinvaras and I love them! They are really light and very comfortable. They breathe very well. The colors are fun and are true to what you see online. I wear an 8 or 8.5, and the 8.5 fits really well! My husband recently tried out Kinvaras after wearing Brooks and he is a convert!

This is my first pair of the Kinvaras and I really like them. They leave plenty of space for my bunion and still narrow fit my narrow heel. They are not plush soft like some nike running shoes though so if that is what you like these are not for you, they are more like nike freerunners except they actually fit my foot. I ordered them in my normal running shoe size.

I have not worn this type of shoe for several years but these are great. They are comfortable and light even with a hammertoe. I am not a small flower so I am not sure how long they will stand up to daily workouts but so far, so good.

I am a Kinvara convert. Have run in Saucony's for years, but wanted to switch from the Ride because of the narrower footbed in more recent models. I have a fairly narrow foot with medium arch and high instep, and I like a nice roomy footbed in a runner. These shoes fit perfectly right out of the box. I love the lightweight feel and remarkable cushion that comes with such a light shoe. My running in these shoes has been only treadmill so far with the nasty Wisconsin winter we're in the middle of, and the Kinvara is awesome on the treadmill. Can't wait to get them outdoors! I would say for anyone on the fence about trying neutral runners - go for it, this shoe is amazing! And the bright, spunky color is icing on the cake!

I absolutely love this shoe. I have a wide foot and Saucony has always been my shoe of choice. This shoe is light, it breathes and is super cute.

These are lightweight and perfect for the gym. Zappos is so easy to work with, and the only site that I do all my shoe shopping at.

These are light as a feather! If you like to run in shoes that are light with good arch support, I would recommend these!

I just took my Kinvaras out for their first run and loved them. They feel great, and the low heel drop makes a mid-foot strike happen naturally and easily. I felt like I was running faster than usual in them. Though the ground is closer, the shoes are still nicely padded. They also worked really well for my needs, including a tendency to supinate as well as bunions that make some shoes, even running sneakers, uncomfortable.

These shoes are extremely lightweight and comfortable. I usually wear the asics gell nimbus, but I was looking for something a little less expensive. I would say that these shoes are very comparable, although I did like the Asics a little more. The furthest I have ran in them so far was 5 miles and they did not hurt my feet at all!

I love these shoes! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I have a pair of the Kinvara 3's but they were white and had stains from rainy and muddy runs. The first 5k that I ran wearing these shoes I got a several good comments on the style and color.

I train for and race in marathons and Ironman distance triathlons, and I have run in almost every kind of shoe; Newtons, Nike, Asics, New Balance, and Mizunos. I love these! They feel light, are so comfortable on my feet, and they are cute, too. I like them so much that I also bought them in purple.

I switched to the Saucony Kinvaras after a knee injury from wearing high stability running shoes, and this is now my third pair. I love them. They're not minimal shoes, but they're very low drop, so you get the best of both worlds. There is enough cushion to comfortably run 10+ miles, but not so much that you can't feel the road and adjust your stride.

I got these for my 13 year old daughter and she loves them. We wear the same size and I've been thinking of getting a pair for myself. The colors are really cool and vibrant. They really transform your outfit; they are very functional and stylish.

Wow. I really like these. I am not a runner. I am am an active, fit mom of four. I am on my feet a lot. They have more support than the last pair of Adidas I bought. The toe box is roomy...no squished toes. The shoe runs true to size. I'm a 10.5. And yay, they actually made a 10.5. Felt like I was walking on air. Only thing I would like to improve is a black sole...not a fan of white. But still very cute and meet the minimalist standard I want for my larger feet.

These shoes are great! They are lightweight and incredibly durable. I bought two pairs and alternated between so that I wouldn't wear them out while I was training for a marathon. They got me through race day and my feet felt great.

Great look, comfortable, lots of "wow, those are fun!" Not incredibly cushiony, but pretty good support. I haven't really run in them -- wear them to work to bring some life to the office. I have a problem left foot and they are just enough to keep the left foot cushioned.

I have really enjoyed this shoe. The colors are right up my alley. I like them because they are low to the ground, but it still feels like there is something under your feet. The material on the top is very thin, so it might rub down quickly, but it makes it breathe really well. I think if you are runner who would like to lean toward the minimalist shoe, but still have shoe, it works really well. I am very happy with it and will probably buy a Kinvara for my next running shoe as well.
