Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

I have 5 pair of Kinvara 10's I just had my wife order me a pair of Blue and white KN 11's. I have a pair for different outfits. I am a sprint runner to build muscles explosive kicking power. and as well power when I changing angle and springing up and throwing my weight I need explosive power. These are the sneakers. I have to wear different colors to match my uniform. . Please more colors. The laces should be black on the Blue 11's, As you did with the Kinvara blue 9's used glowing yellow laces. Please give flavor. You will sell more. Think You are selling the colors that you are stuck with as the kinvara 10's You only have yellow, and orange left.

It's not so comfortable like my Guide or Ride, but it's ok. I like the style and I wear for walking.

I have had several pairs and have been happy with every pair these are light and comfortable and nothing hurts at the end of my run I jog between 5 and 10 Kim's three times a week I would strongly recommend the Kinvaras

The shoe was very comfortable at first, but seemed to break down after a few hundred miles.

very comfortable shoe and makes me want to run quickly

I used to run in Brooks puregrit until they discontinued the line. Found the Kinvara's and love them. These are my 10 to pair! Highly recommend!

Great shoe! Very good support and very light! The color selection is lacking though!

a comfortable light racer for 10K on up. toe box is a little roomy if you have a narrow foot like me.

First time buying and using this brand. so far impressed by the price i got them for but wearing is awesome verrry light it was my first run in 6 months and the next day my feet feel great.

This is my second pair of Kinvara 11. I don't know why but they are not quite as comfortable as my first pair. I get various foot ailments, sometimes, when running, like numbness. It almost feels like I haven't quite dialed in the lacing on this second pair, like it's me.

Great shoe. A bit tighter than previous models but feels good.

Great, light quick. Loved the shoe for speed work.

Been loving them so far, especially the blue color-way I ordered! They're so blue and vibrant. They're comfortable, easy to tie and wear. The best part is how lightweight they are. Though, they are comfortable I wouldn't say they are showstopping compared to my other runners I've worn in the past, but they get the job done. I would say I run more with my heel and the cushion is definitely there for the support. I run mainly on pavement. I also ordered my true size so the sizing I would say is like all my other runners. I recommend them for sure!

I like the low profile look and feel. It's a return to the Kinvara 9 which I missed in the 10 and 11. On the other hand, I feel like I'm running on the outside of my foot more (slight supination). Maybe it's my imagination. Maybe it's even a good thing, because it hasn't caused me any serious discomfort.

Really light, but also really supportive. This is what I reach for when it's time for a long run - 10 to 15 miles - and when it's racing time. I'm sneaking up on 60 years old, so it's nice to have a lightweight shoe that provides enough cushioning for the miles.

The shoe is very lightweight and pretty supportive but lacks the heal cushioning I had hoped for.

I really like the level of cushioning and support. I kind of wish the shoe came up just a little higher on my ankles; it always feels like it's not quite secure on my foot. They've never fallen off though, so maybe it's not really a problem. Overall, I'm really pleased, and I'll buy these again if they're still making them when my current pair wear out.

Like the durability of the sole on the 12 over the 11 better. Overall the 11's were more comfortable though, they just didn't last long.

The various iterations of Kinvaras have been my go-to's since Brooks drastically narrowed their shoes 7-8 years ago. Sadly, the new fit of the Kinvaras are too narrow for me in the toe box. This seems to be for aesthetic reasons, as I can't imagine any performance or comfort reason for moving to a narrow toe box in a running shoe. For reference, my heal is slightly narrow, mid-foot is very much medium and my forefoot is, admittedly, very slightly wide. However, until Brooks went super narrow a few years ago, I had never in my life (over 40 years) needed a wide size in any type of athletic shoe...unfortunately I now have to add the Saucony Kinvaras to that short list of narrow running shoes. If you have narrow to medium-narrow feet, these will still be comfy. But, if your feet are even marginally wide-sh, look for a different shoe (or, if you like the one or two colors they offer in wide for this, give those a try).

Lightweight neutral shoe good for training and racing. Small heel to toe drop with roomy toe box.
