Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 9

This is an incredibly comfortable shoe with just the right amount of support. I typically walk 5 miles a day and will log from 25 to 40 sets of stairs per day. I use these shoes 2 to 3 times a week. They are lighter than my other shoes and give all of the support needed. I tend to use them when I’m going to have a long and very active day. This shoe has a generous toe box. I bought a size 8.5 and wear ultra light socks. If I were to wear my heavier socks, I would have exchanged for a size 9.

It's amazing how much the right shoe can affect not only your athletic performance, but your mindset. I've been struggling with knee and IT band issues for several months and training for a marathon at the same time. I wanted to find a shoe that would match the minimal feel of the Brooks PureFlow that I usually wear, but provide more cushion. Both are a 4mm differential, while the Kinvara is actually one oz. lighter. I've run in Kinvara's before, most recently the 7's. They were good, but my foot always felt a little sloppy, like the structure of the upper was too flimsy. I'm not sure what Saucony did differently with the 9s, but it's a great improvement! They feel more stable and fit so well out of the box that I didn't hesitate to take them for a 5 miler immediately. A couple days later I ran 18 miles in them and have to say, this is the most confident I've been about a shoe purchase in a long time. I always do a half size up and that seems right with the Kinvaras. Just a note: the Vizi Red/White looks a lot more like a true red in the picture. It's actually VERY fluorescent. A minor misrepresentation - I still love this shoe and the little boost it's given to my training!

Believe the reviews, ladies. These shoes truly run very small. I usually wear a 7 1/2 to 8. Based on the advice of previous reviews, I ordered an 8 1/2. Had to send them back and ordered a 9. Never before have I come close to wearing a 9! But they fit beautifully!

Still breaking them in a little, they seem to run a little smaller than the Kinvara 8, but while on, the big toe hits about the same place as my 8s. Was a little underwhelmed by the color selections available but quite happy that the red is actually a dark hot pink. Overall, I'm pleased with my first few runs in the 9s.

I was reluctant to purchase the kinvara 9 as the kinvara 7 were a full disappointment. The fabric teared up withing 10 miles of running. I wish I had return them. To my surprise the kinvara 9 is great. Different fabric with more body not as thin and flimsy. The are super comfortable. Excellent arch support and super light. They run 1/2 size small. If you are a runner, consider a full size larger. I am a neutral runner and they feel very cushy. My favorites so far. You won't be disappointed.

This is the only athletic shoe I can wear, however, I don't wear them for athletics. I have severe peripheral neuropathy from spinal nerve damage and since I can't feel my feet at times my balance if off. I wear these all day, changing pairs during the day. The Saucony Kinvara are great. I do have to get 1/2 size bigger in this style. I have 10 pair of them.

I absolutely love these shoes however they are slightly smaller than my other pair of saucony. I sized up a half size and they were much better

I recently purchased the Kinvara 9. I had a pair of Kinvaras a number of years ago but switched to the Omnis. I just returned the new Omni because they are completely different from my old favorites. After reading the reviews for the new Kinvara I tried them again and couldn’t be more pleased. They have the wider footbed like the old Omnis. My 7B is a little snug but they work for me.

Oh I love my Saucony! Super comfortable and cute!

I wear only Saucony athletic shoes because the fit is perfect and they are always comfortable. This was a nice looking shoe, but the color was much brighter than it appeared on line. It was almost neon. Guess I didn't realize that "Vizi" Red meant vizi-ble from the 50 yard line. I returned them for a tamer Saucony shoe.

I absolutely love these shoes. It’s VERY hard to find shoes that fit me with the cushioning and arch support that I need, but these are a big win! Great fit and super comfortable. I purchased and had to return many styles before I hit upon this one. I really appreciate Zappos return policy and free shipping both ways.

Very satisfied. Took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size larger which was necessary and therefore perfect

These shoes have been super comfortable and I love the colors. I use them mainly on my elliptical though have also been getting into running outside and they have served me quite well. Support is good. I am new to running and recently ran 8 miles a few times and no sore feet or blisters! I would recommend these shoes.

Normally wear a 7.5 in Saucony Kinvara but this particular version ran small. Had to size up half a size to an 8. Excellent shoe.
