Ran a marathon in them and love them. Have been wearing Kinvaras for a while now. Love them all... K13 is the best yet

Right toe rubs so far, but the ride is incredibly smooth even out of the box! I really enjoy how much of the floor that I can feel in these shoes. Feels fast and light. I'm curious how these will feel pushing up to higher mileage and hope I can find a solution to the toe rubbing.

Kinvara 13 is lighter, but the 12 is plenty light enough for hard workouts.

Good running shoes, but not for runners with flat feet.

I've been searching for my distance shoe that don't feel like bricks after a few miles, and these shoes are them.

Very satisfied. I've been using Kinvaras for 6 years and they've always been great for me. I'm just stocked up, and when I wear these down enough I'll stay with this brand and model even as they update them.

I've had 2 pair of these. I like using them for interval runs. They are kinda like sports cars for your feet. I have to use different shoes for long runs or recovery runs, but to feel fast, I haven't found anything better. I originally picked these because I have used Altras for years and wanted a shoe without much offset in the heels. Glad that I did.

No longer a runner. I walk in the Kinvara 12 shoes. They are very comfortable and lightweight.

These are the 2nd pair of 12's and they are a great daily trainer. I just bought the 13's to replace them so hopefully they're just as good. These will be a daily shoe. This shoe with the upper and midsole with the rubber of the new ride it would be the best shoe ever.

I jumped into Kinvara's around 2010 and haven't deviated much. This is my 16th or 17th pair I've purchased over the last decade +. Great low shoe, fits my drop and wear pattern, looks great, many options for coloring, and lasts for a decent mileage (I usually get near 400 miles out of each pair (I'm also a heavier runner 6'4 #235). I will say sometimes can get a bit squeaky but that's really the only downfall I've experienced so far.

I bought these shoes a few months ago to get a change of scenery with my running shoes and daaang, I should've switched years ago. These shoes are hands down the best running shoes I've worn in a LONG time.

After 12 versions that Kinvara has become a classic. Low to the ground, flexible and just fun to run in. Don't ever get rid of it Saucony!

Fast light shoe! Makes me feel like running. I probably wouldn't (personally) want to run a marathon in this shoe, but for somebody else it might make a racing flat.

I started running often since the pandemic. Over the last two years, I have tried Adidas Boston 9, Asics Tartheredge 2, and a pair of older New Balance Freshfoam 880. Compared with those shoes, Kinvara 12 let me feel the difference immediately when I hit the road. I found running a 10k-15k distance more comfortable with this pair.

These are probably my 15th pair of Kinvaras, and the step up from v. 11 to v. 12 is pretty steep. These shoes have everything good about previous Kinvara models, plus a much sleeker design and breathable upper. Really great version!

This is my third Kinvera. I have been in Saucony shoes for 40 years. I think my Kinvera shoe is the best so far both in comfort and wear.
