Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

I just got a pair of the Kinvara 12 and have to say I'm very happy. They are extremely light but offer great support. Fast shoes!

My son loves these shoes! They fit great and he says they are very comfortable.

I've had 6-7 of the various versions of the Kinvara over the years, sometimes multiple versions of particular versions. I'll be doing multiple versions of this v12, it's a great shoe.

I've run in every Kinvara and in my opinion the Kinvara 12 is the best! It fits true to size. Very responsive with the right amount of cush. The Kinvara 12 goes into my fav. Saucony running shoes of all time along with the Freedom Trainer and Azura ST.

Great fit from day one. Deliver a smooth, comfortable ride.

Lightest wide shoes on the market that I'm aware of. Broke my 5k PR with them.

I have worn every Kinvara model from the 5 up to 12 and the 12 is the best yet, very comfortable light and supportive for running.

I've been buying Kinvaras since they came out and they will always be my go to running shoe. Extremely comfortable and perfect for my neutral strike, can't say enough good things about them!

Kinvaras are the perfect shoe for a tempo runs. Lightweight and enough support to last a few hundred miles.

Best Kinvaras yet. Light, flexible, fast. The sole really does feel more like a tread, and grips the ground efficiently. Ample cushioning but not so much that it gets in the way. I wasn't impressed with the 10s or 11s and ends up switching to Brooks, then Hoka for a while. Neither brand has a shoe better than the Kinvara 12 for me.

Love the Kinvara line. Every one seems better then the previous version. Been using them for 6 years now and will never wear another running shoe. They are a perfect match for my running style and stride. The heal offset is perfect.

Like these shoes so much that I bought another pair for when I wear these out.

This is a great running shoe for runners with wide feet. They worked out great for my son, he loves them!

Awesome training and racing shoe. The Kinvara 12 are probably my favorite out of all the Kinvara. The all around perfect shoe to do anything in. Very fast shoe.

Great shoes. Lightweight with good support. Super comfortable. I am not a runner, but walk all the time and these are my new faves!

Totally love them. Light and very comfortable. It's definitely a everyday shoe and a perfect trainer.

Wonderfully comfortable shoe. So light and easy on my feet. Best shoe purchase I've made in years. Definitely recommend

Comfortable and perfect fit. I like Saucony shoes because of its design and style.

Another great Kinvara model. Went for a 10k the day they came in, and had no hot spots or discomfort whatsoever. 35 miles in, and my average pace is two seconds faster than my Kinvara 9's they're replacing.

I've been running in Kinvaras for at least 5 years and I continue to love them. They are my go to training shoes for paved roads and they are perfect for me. I'll keep using them!

I had been running in Kinvara's for 6 years, about 3 pairs a year. When I turned 65 I thought I should move to something with more cushioning. Being a Saucony person, I got Endorphin Shifts. Very nice shoes. Great cushioning, but felt slow. So moved them to work shoes and bought the Kinvara again. Too my surprise, the 12's were more like the first pair of Kinvara's I bought years ago. LOVE THESE SHOES!!!!!! One minor issue is the laces are about a foot too long. If you are a forefoot striker, you never need anything else. Thanks Saucony!

Love how light and bouncy these shoes feel. I always have issues with sizes in women's shoes so I decided to try the men's sizes - so far I'm very satisfied with the comfort & styles of men's shoes. I don't think I'll be purchasing from the women's selection anymore.

This is my 10th or 11th pair of Kinvaras, and I've loved each one. (Well, that one multi-colored pair was kind of ugly, but it still ran well.) Once I found the Kinvara, I stopped looking for other road running shoes, because I had no need. I ran 50 miles in the 11's last week, and they feel as good as all the otherslight, comfortable, spot-on cushioning, etc. No doubt I have many more Kinvaras in my future.

With about 50 miles on my pair of Kinvara 12s, I am very pleased! The change to 'stretchy' laces took me a while to get used to in the 11s, but I'm glad they stayed with the 12s because I like the way they enhance the fit. While initially skeptical of the thinner ankle and tongue, I really like the change. The lighter weight tongue customizes the fit even more with the stretchy laces, and once my heel is 'locked in', the ankle support is perfect. While it's hard to tell after only 50 miles, I do think the forefoot material will hold up, and I do like the styling. I also really like the migration back to what brought me to the Kinvara series in the first place -- responsive feel of the shoe and firm feel of the shoe allowing a feel for the running surface.

Very versatile and reasonably light weight all rounder. Seems more durable than previous renditions.
