Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 8

These are so comfortable. Wore them straight out of the box to walk 10 miles a day at Disney. No complaints here - I’d buy them again!

Maybe size was mis-marked but the 6.5 was way too small and tight.

I was running in the Kinvara 7 and the Kinvara 8 feels as if it fits similarly. I purchased them in yellow/orange and they are nice and bright (which I like). I have gotten compliments from other runners on them. The toe box is roomy, without feeling clownish, which I need for a wider foot. The length is similar to the Kinvara 7, I have room in the toes. I was a 9 1/2 in the Kinvara 7s, and got a 9 1/2 in the 8s. I was fit for the Kinvara 7s at a local running shop, and am pleased with the 8s, as well. I've worn them on a couple shorter runs to try them out and no rubbing or tightness, so now will be using them on longer runs. I will get another pair to rotate.

Excellent shoe! I bought the marl/black color. I wish they had the bright orange/magenta/yellow color (from the Kinvara 3 line). They are great for long distance running and sprinting. Super comfortable and the back doesn't irritate my ankle as most running shoes do.

I love these shoes. Other brands hurt the ball of my feet. But these flex perfectly, keeping the weight evenly distributed.

These felt true to size for me. I have the kinvara 3 and ordered the same size. Unfortunately, these are cheap feeling. In the mid foot areas where it wraps to the laces, there’s a plastic piece that you lace into. However, the out outer fabric of the shoe is not attached to that plastic. So when you lace the shoe up, unless you have a very wide mod foot, the fabric will bunch out where it attaches to the sole. I find that very unattractive. That with cheaper material feel, makes them a no go. I’ll be sending them back.

Most of the time, Saucony Kinvaras are my first choice for running shoes, as I have no "break in time," You just put them on & go--right out of the box. Alas, my usual 10 1/2 Kinvara was too small in this updated 8. I will need to go up 1/2 size to the 11. Maybe there is a slight change in sizing, due to update, but I have confidence in the brand & will reorder. I do recommend this shoe, as I run hard & give the shoe a good work out. I would like to add that Zappos' customer service is super & they've been very helpful in my search when my usual size didn't fit.

These shoes were pretty comfy and I normally prefer non-flashy tennis shoes, so I can wear them around the city in my day to day too. These fit the bill and were pretty comfy, although the laces were oddly short - I ended up going with the ASICS FuzeX Lyte 2 this time around.
