I'm lucky enough to have a foot shape that's just a smidge wider than average, but narrow enough that wide shoes are too big. I was really *hoping* the Saucony Kinvara 12's would work out, but ultimately the toe box just a little bit too narrow. I gave these a good try - running about 8 miles in two different runs (a 3-mile, and a 5-mile) and my feet were aching both times by the time I was done. It felt like the outside of my foot was just being pushed into the rest of my foot - kinda like I had wrapped an ace bandage just tad too tight. They were a very nice shoe otherwise, and if your feet are just tiny bit narrower - they'll likely be great. I'm going back to my Topos.

One of the best Kinvara models to date. They run smaller than the previous models; I typically wear an 11 and needed a 10.5 in these. The Future Black color bleeds horrendously when used. I've worn these 7 times totalling 26 miles and the laces/tongue stain my fingers when untied after a run and my feet are stained, through my sock, as well. Overall I'm pleased with the fit, I just wish the color didn't bleed.

I love the colors and the fit. However, they are not very supportive. I think the sole could be sturdier and thicker.

Very solid shoe. A bit stiff for my daily runner, but a great change-up in my lineup.

I have idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy. I love these shoes. I can walk without my feet killing me. It is amazing. Lots of cushioning and support.

The Kinvara 12 is the best one yet. I have loved every mile in these shoes for the first 225 or so miles I've run in them. They feel lighter yet still very stable and the build still feels high quality than even its most recent predecessor, the Kinvara 11. It's also notable that I did not have any foot pain whatsoever after my first run, whereas every Kinvara I have tried prior to this one, I did experience some soreness or pain while they broke in. Please don't change anything big in the next version!

A good distance show. Not super cushioned, but not over supported. I run in Speed 2s for all pace work, but these are my long run shoes. They are so comfortable that I will wear them around if I'm going to be walking a lot. If you're looking to log miles, these are your shoes. If you want speed, get the Speed 2s.

Excellent. Very light with a very smooth landing at speed. I found the older versions with a different outsole had a bit of a jerky landing but this new outsole lands very smoothly for an overall quick ride. I also prefer the 4mm drop in this line which for me promotes a more naturally quick cadence. I will use this shoe for speed work and as a marathon racer.

My feet size is 8EE and these fit perfectly with a little room to spare. I would believe size 8 standard width would fit just fine. I run 12 miles per week with a 6 miles run on Saturday morning at about 10 minutes mile pace. My other pair are Triumph 18, which was too narrow (with size 8W, but if I put in thinner insoles they are barely acceptable). I rotate them every other run. Triumph 18 were much heavier, but better absorbing impact. I can really feel the Power Run+. Kinvara 11 were light and I tend to run these with forefoot strike. Thinner sole, but still adequate for 6 miles run. I have no issue pushing 9 min/mile with these. It has been about 6 months/90 miles into these and they are holding up just fine with just slight wear on the sole.

As always Kinvara is great. Going from the 11 to the 12 there was big upgrade in material.

I am an older walker / lite jogger and these shoes have been great. The fit is true to size, comfortable to wear, and my feet do not feel fatigued after my exercise. I would recommend giving these shoes a try.
