Customer Reviews Saucony Kilkenny XC8 Flat

Excellent for racing on the track. Initially I bought these thinking I would wear them in 5K road races. But they have little arch support and the sole is glued in so it’d be tough to replace the sole with more supportive inserts or orthotics—5K proabably too much distance for me to race without arch support. On a whim I tired these on a rubber track while doing 400m repeats. They were so light and fit like a glove. I compared against my track spikes, and found I move faster in these flats than in my spikes while expending the same effort (measured by heart rate). I was completely surprised these would make me faster than my track spikes. These were so good I now plan to race in these this track season. By way of background, my feet are on the narrower side. I race the 800 primarily, sometimes 1500.

Due to reviews that these are a smaller fit I decided to order 1/2 size larger, usual width. They fit perfectly. The arch supports at exactly the right spot. I probably could have gone with my usual size but wanted a little extra room if I wear them for a long time rather than just an hour workout. I've gone on long walks, hilly terrain and they are very comfortable. Very happy with them.

Bought these for my daughter for cross country and she loves them! I was worried about the sizing after reading reviews but she says they fit perfectly and are comfortable light weight and easy to run in! She loves them!

Bought these for spring so only tried them on and had to send back and go up a size (no 11 1/2 unfortunately). They are super lightweight and cute. Can't really comment any further until spring 2020.

Extremely lightweight running shoes. They fit perfectly on my very narrow feet, so if you have wide or maybe even normal width feet, I'd recommend a different shoe. As far as sizing, I followed the size given in cm from my last shoe, instead of the UK or EUR size, and I'm glad I did as this length was just right (the EUR size compared between shoes would've led me to get a full size smaller).

Sneakers are really light, airy and flexible but two sizes smaller than my original size

It's a little bizarre because I've been a 8.5 in Saucony brand running shoes for years. However, these are a bit small. I thought that I just needed to get used to a new pair of shoes and I'd wear them in, but after a couple of weeks and a 5K, that was not the case.

I really wanted to love these. I feel like I have a very average size 9 foot. Not too wide, not too narrow, but just right and true size 9. These were super narrow feeling and tight on my foot even with a super thin sock. The color combo was real cute, but the fit just wasn't there so I am returning them.

Loved the look of the shoe. They are super narrow. My guess is that it is a track running shoe.

Although my size couldn't even put my toes in. Awful.
