The Kinvara 11 is light and comfortable; a great road shoe.

Fantastic, comfortable shoes that fit like a glove! I discovered Saucony shoes a few years ago and since then that's the only brand I buy running shoes from. Actually I liked Kinvara 12 so much that I bought them twice! They are one of the most comfortable shoes I have tried on (and trust me, I have tried on a lot of them), fitting perfectly like a glove. I have wide feet and find hard to find wide shoes because even if they are categorized as wide they usually are not, but the Kinvara 12 feels true to width and my toes have plenty of room without losing comfort and stability. It comes with great support and the ones in blue are my favorite. I can even wear them when I go for a walk or an urban hike. It has excellent cushioning (I would say medium as I don't link springy shoes) and is exceptionally stable. It fits true to the size, very breathable, and great grip.

Great running shoe. I use to buy only Saucony running shoes, but bought a different brand last time for some reason. When I bought this pair I remembered why I loved Saucony shoes the most. The right shoe really makes a difference in running.

The Kinvara model is a reliably great shoe. It is a light shoe considering it is also very comfortable for longer miles. I enjoy my Kinvaras very much.

Great running shoes for training, shirt and long distance.
One improvement that would be appreciated is to increase your offer of wide size on the most popular running shoes.

The soles are thinner and does have as much cushioning as some of the other models.

Fantastic light weight trainer for everyday training. Super comfortable and perfect for every type of run, whether it's long tempo runs or speed work on the track. I'm on my third pair.

I haven't found a pair of shoes that are equivalent to this shoe for the price. To me, it is unbeaten at this price point. I have a guaranteed 300 miles with these shoes.

Favorite running shoe yet! I usually wear 11.5 shoes but I went down to 11 for these and they fit perfect.

Easily the best running shoes I have ever had. They're light and flexible, but very tough. I put roughly 200+ miles on them and they still looked like new. This Kinvara series is my new favorite and I will only run with in the foreseeable future.

I have been a Kinvara fan for a long time. The 12 is light weight and sturdy. Makes it easy for going fast but holds up for long distance. My favorite shoe!

Lightest, most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn. I've worn the Kinvara 2, 6, 10, and 11, and awaiting my 12's. The Kinvara 6 has been my least favorite, in that they were super tight in the toe box. All other versions have been excellent. I won't ever run in any other shoe.

11's were really great except the heel had a cheap seam behind the padding that at times gave 3 of us blisters. So, I was hesitant ordering the 12's. The heel design now looks and feels right. My son (a 9:32 two miller) just says they are magical!

I've owned several pairs of Kinvaras since the 7s (which were my first favorites). The 12s are somehow better than the 11s. I appreciate the slimmer tongue and the less "spongy" upper. They also feel faster, almost like they've got a bit of that speedroll shape from the Endorphin line. All around great, neutral daily trainer. Perfect for the treadmill when it is -35F outside!

I've been running in Brooks PureFlows for 10 years and loved them. When they were discontinued this year the Kinvaras kept coming up as a close cousin. I'm happy to report that so far I'm happy with them. They fit about the same and are just a tad softer under foot. They do seem to stretch a bit during a longer run so I have to tighten them up a bit more before the run. I'll update after I get a couple hundred miles on them.

Lightweight option for runners looking for all-around, lightweight shoe w/ a stable platform. I appreciate the midsole width and flare for added stability. The upper accommodates my high volume foot nicely, too. I've got no less than six shoes sitting on my shelf, and the K-12 goes out the door most often.

This was one of the best shoe purchases ever! A great combination of a fairly flat shoe but still with good support!
My feet were thankful on the very first run!!
