Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 11

Light and soft shoes, I have 500km with them and still in great shape!

The toes of the shoes point too far up so at times they cause some pain as if they are pressing down on my toes

I am a long term Kinvara runner, hard to count how many pairs over the years I was less happy with the 10 and 11, didn;t like the changes to the sole, but this is my second pair of Kinvara 12 and i really like them. The shoe feels lighter and more flexible like some of the earlier Kinvara models. I have high arches and like a very flexible shoe. Now I am thinking about a Kinvara trail shoe for the winter..... (Also great colours in the Kinvara 12.... I got the black with colours, and now these, it was hard to choose)

I've been running in Kinvaras since the 7 model and have always loved them. That said, the 12 is taking a bit to get used to. Unlike the soft fit of the 11, this one feels more firm in the sole. Unlike the 9, this one doesn't have the soft, comfortable upper I prefer. My 10s are the Kinvaras that hit the perfect balance of comfort, flexibility and springy feel. In all, I don't hate the 12 but would rather have a new pair of 10s in my collection. I have the Future Neon style and it's sharp-looking for sure, so the aesthetics are great. I've run 5 or 6 times in the 12s and I'm still getting used to them. I'm looking forward to seeing that the 13 brings and whether the comfort of the 10s will return. I also took the advice of some reviewers and went up by a half size and there's certainly toe room as a result. I'm giving these four stars instead of my usual 5 because of the film sole issue and I'm still running in my several 9, 10 and 11 models, too. The difference is so clear when you mix and match models.

I love kinvaras and I never wear anything else! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I think the kinvara 12 runs a little small. I've always been an 8 and unfortunately I've used my new ones way too much to return them. But since I'm training for a half marathon I think I'll need a bigger size

I've had these sneaks about three weeks. I wear them walking and sometimes just because. On my fourth day of wearing them they started to squeak. It's coming from the heal area. I'm not sure what it is, but it bothers me. For the amount I spent on them, I would expect better. Especially only wearing them a few days. On the up sidethey are super comfortable and light.

I have been a loyal wearer since the 6it is the ONLY shoe I run in, regardless of distance. It is light, springy, and requires zero breakin timeand there almost always is a cute color I love. But please fix the lacing! I box lace my shoes because I have a high instep. The last pair I bought, the lace holes were so narrow, I literally pulled off the plastic thing on the end trying to get the laces out. It took me 20 minutes to unlace and relace, which should've taken me five minutes at most.

First time ever running in Saucony and I am liking them so far. Comfortable and light and great looking too. They fit a tad loose for me in the heel but this was easily fixed with a heel lock lacing pattern. I got the Future Neon. My only nit is that the bright blue tongue color bleeds onto the light pink laces on sweaty runs (which is pretty much every run in the summer here in Georgia).

light flexible good cushioning. too narrow toebox. Not getting a wide because it doesn't come in sunset fade.

I have medium arches so this shoe kind a hurts mainly because its for high arches but it'll do! Very light awesome for long distance running

Not loving the shoe strings. They're a little too long. The ride feels good but it feels like it's pushing you back into your heel more where the 11 kept you forward.

These would be perfect if the mesh padded tongue didn't rub against my top of my foot without socks. Very annoying. The shoes are lightweight, supportive and fit well! I wish I could replace with the tongue in the 11 iteration shoe. Still a fan!

Comfy and cushioned. If you have a wide foot, they work. I have wide feet with bunions from running for 30 years. It's hard to find shoes that don't pinch my feet. These do not. The tongue is "fat", I would change this design to allow for a tighter tie.

I run 15-20 miles a week at easy pace. Really like this shoes after owning ON for 3 years. It feels weightless and soft. Would be great to have a bit more of ankle support, but other than that its a great quality shoe that runs.

Good shoe. I am a 15-20 mile a week runner. This shoe is perfect for me. The right amount of cushion for the type of distance I do. I did swap out my insoles because I have a high arch. But I realize that no shoe (in my opinion) will have enough arch support for me. I get lots of compliments on the look of the shoe itself. I am giving a 4 star rating only because the toes have no shield. I've tripped on rocks and the shoe has no support in the toe box, so my toes take a beating. It's just the rubber sole and the material on top of your toes. That's it. Anyway, I do love them and kept them despite the toe flaw.

I just retired the 9's and am always leary about new shoes but these so far are almost as good as my well broke in 9's. I did have a little feet numbness after a few miles but I think they just need broke in.

Was excited to buy Saucony again, especially this beautiful Cherry color. Love the color but not as supportive as I'd like; arch support lacking. Overpriced IMHO. Will end up as casual wear.

I love how light weight my Kinvaras are, and comfortable. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the tongue is scratchy and irritates my ankles.

GREAT shoes , Love everything about it except it runs small. :(

Super soft shoe! Love these! I wear them for long runs or when I am doing shorter pick ups on the road.

I love the Kinvara. I've had the last several models and loved them all. My only complaint is that the 12 does not come in a size 5.5 ladies so I won't be able to get it.

I've lived Saucony for many years, wearing them for short and long training runs as well as events. Comfortable and durable Kinvara 11 continue to meet my running needs.

Kinvara's have always been my go to shoe, but the 12 definitely fits me different -it is more narrow than any other Kinvara has fit. I normally do fine in a medium width, but feel like I'd do better in a wide with this model. However, still super lightweight, still has great cushion. I'll try them around the house for a bit before I decide what to do.
