Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

Took me a while to find a shoe that works for me. Now I always get the Kinvaras. And to top it off, you can choose a color in the online shop. I call my shoes the "Cameras"- because I get a lot of foot-age out of them. Har Har.

Kinvara continues to improve and this version will not disappoint!

I have been wearing the Kinvara for over 3 years now ...... Its the one and only shoe that I will continue to wear with confidence.

I rated the show as "Fits wide" because I have narrow feet myself but the fit is wider than some of my other running shoe brands which I love. Incredibly light at the same time, with great support for me on the go or standing at work for 5-8 hours per day. I wanted something stylish but also very supportive, as I mentioned I'm always on my feet for work so I want to be comfortable. Can't wait to buy another color.

Since purchasing I've put about 30 miles on them and they feel great. The sole has broken in really nicely and I love how they've formed to my foot. Would definitely recommend!

Running since the 70's, have tried every brand. Saucony is my fav by far! I've gone through 9 pairs of Grid Cohesions, 4 pairs of Guides, 5 pairs of Hurricanes. Just switched to Kinvara 11 and it's the best yet. Saucony Design Team: don't mess up the 12. I'll be buying Kinvara's as long as they keep the same qualities.

Great lightweight shoe with a lot of support. Definitely will be buying again

I like the Kinvara 11. Very comfortable, perfect fit and nice amount of springy cushion. Good colors too.

First time buying a running a shoe. I think this shoe is great. I was surprised by some of the materials on the upper construction part of the shoe. I thought the black back portion would be made of a sturdier plastic type of material, but is actually more cloth-like. Stability is not issue with the shoe. Additionally, the molded rubber portion on the bottom is nice, but I think could be slightly larger around the toe area. Sometimes I feel like I wish I had more grip on the toes. There is a satisfying warmth to the shoes, but one time I left them in the car on a 90 degree day and they remained hot on my feet for some time.

I love these shoes. I walk and jog changing my shoes twice a day.

I'm a few weeks in, I run about 15 miles per week, and so far they fit well, look good, and are holding up!

One of the most comfortable shoes I ever worn. Very soft for my soles, kind of a sock like feeling. Able to maneuver very well in my walks or runs.

After 5 years and running more more than ever I decided to finally upgrade my Kinvara 6s. These are just as comfortable and fit great, feel good running, and fit my wider-but-not-wide-width feet.

I've been away from the Saucony brand for awhile, being stuck in the mire of the other common brands. The Kinvara 11 was a welcomed surprise from what was my norm. Super stylish in cool color ways, the shoe is light yet super comfy. Nice support for a light shoe. Shoe fit is true to size.

Very comfortable!!,light, very good quality, I love this shoes, and I will definitely buy another pair!!!

Note: I have wide feet so bought these a half size up like I do with all my shoes, and they fit perfect. My first couple runs with these weren't the greatest felt uncomfortable and sore underfoot, especially for 10k+ runs. I'm a heavier build runner, so I'm not sure if it was just me getting used to the firmer midsole (as I usually go for max cushion shoes) or the shoe breaking in a little, but after those first few runs, these shoes feel absolutely fantastic! Lightweight, breathable, and responsive, yet plush, cushioned, and comfortable this shoe is the most versatile runner I've had. Just bought a second pair!

Since I ran cross county a long time ago in a far away galaxy, Saucony continues to produce super shoes.

i am very particular about my sneakers in general, but especially running shoes. I wanted a shoe with a low drop. 4 MM is basically as low as you're going to get without getting a pair of truly minimal 0 MM drop vivos. But with these, you get the minor drop along with some more cushioning so you can actually get some padding for longer runs. Considering the fact that they're wide they achieve a lot of the things your normal minimal shoe would, without having the weird design, and while still giving you some cushion.

I'm fairly limited to running shoes that I can go fast in and colors that I like. The Kinvaras pick up speed very well and cushioned enough to be daily trainers. As someone who misstrikes on their heels, the 4mm drop is perfect in keeping my form consistent. Digging the teal color which is a bonus when coming to wide shoe shopping. Only issue is these wear faster than most so I keep them mainly for intervalsm tempo work and races. If Kinvaras can stay at the $100-110 price point, I'll be a life time customer.

Before getting these, I had been running in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18 shoes. I would get really bad shin splints from those, and after getting the Kinvara 11's it's because I knew they weren't built for me. The Kinvara's have a much more flexible sole and helps with my natural propulsion. I got the blue/orange/highlighter yellow color and the color scheme looks so cool!

This seems to be the perfect shoe for any run- feels great from speed workouts to long runs. I have two pairs, roughly 200 miles and 50 mile on each, I have to say this the best Kinvara yet. It is a smooth, balanced, responsive and lightweight- also in my experience significantly more durable than the Kinvara 10s. Definitely recommend!

Saucony has won me over. I've been trying tons of different brands, and it seems that Saucony shoes fit and feel the best on my feet. The Kinvara is light and fast. Perfect for a tempo long run. I tend to just want to go faster when wearing these. Good job Saucony. Ive been mixing between these and the Mad River TR for a wider toe box on easier days, and just couldn't be happier. Thank you

great comfortable shoe

I have worn every model of the Kinvara since the 5's. I tend to like the odd models because they always have a wider toe box. The 11's did disappoint in this area but not so much that I can knock the shoe down from 5 stars. When I initially put the shoes on I was worried about how tight they felt, but I did 5 miles the first day and the shoes move well and do not fill tight on the run. I love the look and the performance and I am already ordering my second pair to rotate in.

I'm a pseudo runner which means I run a little and power walk a lot. The Kinvara is extremely comfortable provides strong support to my ankles knees and lower back. I look forward to putting these shoes on every morning and to going out on my 2.5 mile exercise. It's like driving a high performance car. Love it!
