Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 8

Very comfortable and responsive

Long time runner & reppin' Kinvara's for years. These are my favorite running shoe but the 8 is way too narrow. My feet were in pain the entire run. Unfortunately sizing up won't help the width issue. I'm now on a mission to stock up on 7's for my upcoming races. If you're thinking of buying these, try them on at your local running shop first (I regret not doing this as I have always done for past versions).

Sadly Saucony quality has really slipped. I have these shoes and they r extremly cheaply made. Saucony used to b awesome....no more. I ordered two other pr that i sent back. Cheap cheap cheap. Even thin tacky shoestrings. Saucony used to b good...no more. I am hopeful Saucony will review and beef up quality as i used to purchase at least 4-6 pr/yr.ty

I ordered these sneakers to replace a similar pair. Visually the sneakers are of much poorer quality and the fit is terrible. The pad on the back of one sneaker is not straight and I think that is why I ended up with a sore foot after wearing them for a few hours. I will never order this brand again.

I have been a faithful Kinvara wearing runner since the Kinvara 2. I go through 2-3 pair a year and had been so happy with my shoes. The Kinvara 8 was a terrible change. Everything the previous shoes had been has changed. Too much cushion too wide in the toes. The shoelaces do not stay tied at all and are cheaper than laces you buy on shoes at Walmart. The pro is this pushed me to buy out as many 7s as I could get my hands on so I saved money. Unless the 9 goes back to its roots, I will be changing brands for the first time in many many years.
