Super comfortable for running and walking. the bright colors have gotten a lot of attention. After wearing these they made me switch from NB as my main running shoe.

I loved the Kinvara, but whatever changed in the Kinvara 10 (or maybe it was 11) just didn't work for me, and made them quite uncomfortable. They've thankfully fixed this in the Kinvara 12. These feel so great and fast to run in!

Had the Kinvara6 several years ago and the 11 is just as comfortable as I remember it. Its very light and breathable.

I have been running in these shoes for quite a while. The 12 seems like an upgrade from an already really nice shoe. Comfortable from the first step.

There isn't anything about this shoe that I DON'T love! The built in tongue - great improvement, and the breathability and thickness are improvements. The hard rubber points on the shoe are perfectly placed. I appreciate the overall weight being low while still feeling like a shoe with substance. The flexibility and breathability of the toe box is an improvement on the 11's as well. More similar to the 7's. Longer laces than the 11's to an appropriate length (thanks for listening to feedback, Saucony). The color scheme is cool (I purchased the multicolor). Lastly, the reinforcement on the heel cup is quite nice and significantly better than the past 4 or 5 iterations of the Kinvara. I have worn every pair of Kinvara since the 4. This is the best shoe since the 8 which was my previous favorite.

Lightweight, comfortable, fast. I have worn Kinvaras in several marathons and half marathons. They are my go-to racing shoe. I have worn a variety of Saucony models over the years, including the Peregrines for trail running (including a trail race). Love the brand.

Me: mid-50s male, 5'11", 178 lbs. Forefoot striker. Recently had hip surgery (resurfacing) and am slowly rehabilitating.
I've been going into a local store and saw the Kinvara 11 in the Mutant colourway (bright colours!) for a steal. Tried it on in the store and was surprised by the bouncy feeling in the forefoot given the shoe's lightness. I have not run in Kinvaras before, so I can't compare this one to previous versions. This shoe appears to enjoy a cult following.
Kinvara 11 is a good fast trainer/racer for most recreational runners. Light, comfortable, decent/good cushioning and holds my foot well. Can't speak to the wear of the exposed midsole foam yet, but reviews on the web suggest longevity is surprisingly good. I rotate this shoe with the Triumph 17, for days when I go more slowly (which is a lot lately) over a longer distance.

I got mine yesterday and ran in them today. They are replacing a pair of Kinvara 10's that I have about worn out. I really like the extra room in the toebox and overall have no complaints with these shoes.

Such a great improvement from the 11. The fit around the heel and midfoot is very snug, but not constricting, and there's plenty of room in the toe box for my toes to spread. I personally don't like the sock liner in these (didn't like them in the 11's either) so I take them out. Love the ride. Great for any distance and speed.

I really love these shoes. So much so, that after wearing them for about a week, I order a second pair just to have them for when this pair is worn out.

I'm running 20 miles per week as part of sprint tri training. These are great shoes for that distance. Lightweight but with enough cushioning. Responsive enough for tough intervals.

I love the shoes. They are light, fast, and stylish. It did take a couple runs to break them in and now they feel fantastic. I have logged about 10 miles on them so far and I have been impressed with the durability of the outsole. Since there is very little rubber on the bottom I was concerned they would wear out quickly but there are no signs that will happen.

This is my first pair of Saucony's, and I can't believe how comfortable these shoes are. In fact, I quickly ordered a second pair in a different color. These shoes are light weight and have plenty of cushion. My knee had been acting up for awhile, and I was having to wear a brace. Within 5 days of getting the Kinvara 12's, my knee issues were resolved.
