Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

Didn't think the Kinvara could get better than the 10 but the 11 proved me wrong. The shoe is amazingly versatile. This year's model I feel is more true to size as the Kinvara 10 I had to go a size down. Little to break in period. Definitely ordering another PAIR before the MCM.

I've owned several pairs of Kinvaras (previous generations). I say several because I blow through a pair about every 6 months depending on how much I run. The upper holds up, its the sole that doesn't last. If you have wide feet - you love this line of shoe! So far, (5-6 runs) this new version seems a lot more durable without sacrificing weight or breathability. I docked the "style" of these because they've never been the most visually stunning shoe. I've tried to get them in solid black or solid white. The solid white version looks really great and not too garish like some of the other bright colors. We'll see how they last but so far am impressed.

I'm very excited about these shoes. I've had the Kinvara 9, 10, and now 11, and loved all of them. I've run half marathons in the 9 and 10 and a marathon in the 9. I use them for speed and tempo workouts and pair them with the Ride or the Triumph for my long or easy runs. As race day approaches I taper the Kinvara into my long runs and I'm ready to go. These are my favorite shoe. When I lace them up I know it's time to run fast.

Wore this shoe all day. Walking, biking and working in the yard. Only time I gave them a thought was when I looked at them and liked what I saw. As an added bonus they matched by bike helmet.

Second pair of Saucony running shoes. Will continue to come back for the quality and the comfort. This pair performs great. Have been really pleased with the longevity of these shoes as well. They have been used quite a bit already and look like they just came out of the box.

I never review running shoes, ever. I was a competitive runner about a decade ago, regularly logging 85-90 miles per week for 5Ks. Now, I still take my running seriously but have cut back mileage to about 15 miles/week and had several years in a row of pulled calf issues. I switched to Saucony Kinvara 10s, and now have the 11s. These are excellent shoes - light enough for speed work, cushioned enough for 6-8 mile runs. I'd have no qualms about racing in these, either, if I needed to. These feel fantastic on the foot, are not to bulks, and are extremely responsive. I'm never going back to the Nike Pegasus!

Light weight, superb product. I've used them daily since receipt and they are fantastic.

I LOVE THIS SNEAKER .BUT IT RAN SMALL, SO I HAD TO EXCHANGE IT. FOR ME I COULD USE IT TO BE A LITTLE MORE NARROW,BUT I AM A FEMALE. I CANNOT FIND A WOMENS SNEAKER TO FIT HAD TO GO TO MEN'S.

The Saucony Kinvara 11 is one of the best running shoes I have had the pleasure of wearing. I appreciate their versatility. I wear them for long runs, shorter tempo runs, and speed-based interval workouts. They're incredibly responsive underfoot. I feel faster in these shoes (and my times bear that out). Such a great all-around running shoe.

Reminiscent of the Kinavara 9, runs fast and light. Not awkward like the Kinavara 10. Saucony got it right!

Really pleased with this. Feels light. Great for road and trails.

I've been running in the Kinvara since the 6 and these are what I expect out of a Kinvara. They are lightweight and minimalist, which allows me to run without getting bogged down by extra material and feel the road. The one critique I have is that one of the lips doesn't quite match up with my ankle, it seems to relieve itself once I get a little ways into the run, but can be a little annoying at the start.

Very comfortable, great for all distances.

I liked Kinerva 9, and these Kinera 11's are just as nice and comfortable.

Comfortable, molds to the foot, extremely light.

this shoe gives me everything i need in a running shoe - support / comfort / grip from now on i intend to only purchase saucony footwear

Very comfortable and very reasonable price

This was my first time purchasing a Saucony shoe and so far I am thrilled with my purchased. The Kinvara 11 is an incredible shoe. With the gyms being closed, I've been doing a lot more trail and road running and wanted to get a second running shoe to compensate for all the wear and team I had been putting on my other sneakers. The Kinvara 11's have quickly turned into my favorite and go-to running shoe since. Looks good, feels good and performs great! Bottom line: Highly recommend.

I know some people liked the Kinvara 10's, but I actually hated them. I didn't think they were as stylish, and they actually really hurt my feet running for some reason. I had relied on Kinvara's as my primary running shoe until the 10's, and then decided I would never go back. But when the 11's came out, I thought I would give them a chance, and I'm so glad I did! They feel less tight on my feet and I don't feel the "shock" that my feet felt when running with the 10's. They're very comfortable, and in my opinion, look really cool.

At first, I was put off by (for me) Cheap-looking upper material as it appears in black, but found to be water resistant, durable. Great and comfortable for walk/jog that I do. Very happy with the Kinvara, which I took in the "wide" sizing. So comfortable and energizing. I'm generally crirtical of product quality

Great all-around running shoes!

Kinvara 11 fit like a glove. There a great shoe for speed work and distance. I've done a 100.6 miles in them from 4/25 to 5/8 and plan on pushing them to an average of 10 miles a day for the month of May. My opinion is that the Kinvara 11 is an all round great shoe whether your a runner or walker. The shoes are lightweight but have very good cushioning for your long runs.

Laces are the correct length.

This show fits perfectly and feels like a dream on the road.

I've gone through 4 pairs of Kinivara I've the last few years and the 11's are one of my favorite versions. Great ride from day 1 and I hope they hold up for some solid mileage. Agree with others that the color selection is lacking and miss lot's of the fun color options that were available on older versions. Overall my favorite running shoe and this version is at the top of the list.
