Been a saucony customer for years, but my first time as a kirvana user let me keep sharp and simple 5k approved, comfy and stylish would recommend! Compliments left and right, took me up to my 3rd run for my feet to really dig and get used to them.

I purchased the "4th of July" style, and I flipping LOVE them! They are comfortable, and I get loads of compliments. I had knee replacement 3 months ago and bought these pups for myself to celebrate. They have been my go-to pair for my rehab workouts and quite frankly, my day-to-day use. I'm looking forward to picking out my next pair!

Comfortable light weight, they feel great. Kinvara's are my favorite shoe and they keep getting better.

I've always loved the Kinvara series and I feel like the 12 is the best iteration yet. With the changes in the 12 like the more breathable upper and the improved tongue, it finally feels like a proper race shoe. It's also a great trainer for just about any distance - so long as you want to go fast!

These are even better than the 11's. Wow, such a great shoe!

This is my second pair and they are working out fine. Already have 490k in them and they feel as good as new!

This shoe does it all for me. I'm a neutral, lightweight, low stack height, 4mm drop kinda guy...you know the type. These are light enough for a speed workout but also cushy enough to log some mad LSD miles. I buy this shoe over and over and over. We've been seeing each other for a while now...I think it's getting serious.

Using Kinvara 12 to mix it up with minimalist running shows when my feet need a break. A couple runs in with them I went 10 miles for the first time. Just right for those looking to work on neutral foot fall and low cushion.

They are very lightweight and the Key Lime color is amazing.

I don't know when you snuck into my home and scanned my feet, but this version seem like it was made specifically for me. Thank you for this craftmanship, and I'm also changing my home security system right now.

This may be by 7th or 8th pair of Kinvaras so I'm familiar with the feel on my runs and keep coming back for the next update time and time again.

Super light shoe with tons of cushion and stability, excellent rebound to help provide a better kick...a great shoe whether I am going out for minimal speed work or heading out to log double digit miles

I have been running in Saucony since 2011 starting with the a few models of Cortanas, then Zealot, Freedoms, and I finally got into the Kinvara with the 10s. I loved them and ended up getting the 11s and they're easily the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn. All the reviews that say they work for almost every type of run are correct. I recently bought the Kinvara 12s and was unimpressed with the fit and comfort. Usually I would ride it out but I immediately returned them and loaded up with another pair of 11s. I may snag a couple more just to have a pair for the next few years. I run because the military makes me, I don't really enjoy it, but Saucony always makes it a little more enjoyable and the 11s took it to another level for me.

You get positioned forward when you run and keeps it so you land on the ball of your foot. I had both knees replaced and I can now run 10k without knee fatigue. I'm going to try 122 marathon next!

Runs a little big. Have had every model of Kinvara's. I wear 2 pairs of socks with the 12's. Great shoe. 3's - 10's and these 12's are my favorite models. Diehard Kinvara fan. I tell everyone to try them out.

Huge upgrade from previous models. The 11s were just not durable. The new 12's take comfort up to a whole new level. The energy return is also great and they are light weight and responsive. I have been on the Kinvaras since the 5's and this is the best model to date.

This shoe is exactly what I was looking for. A low heel drop with adequate cushion but not too much. This shoe has everything you need and nothing you don't, making it very lightweight. It's the first pair of saucony shoes I've owned, but will not be the last.

I ran with the Brooks Pure Cadence. When they discontinued that shoe I tried other brands with negative results. This'll I tried this model and I liked it so much I purchased 3 additional pairs. If you want a lightweight with shoe for racing but enough cushion for distance this is it.

I have ran in Kinvaras since the Kinvara 6s. I just wore through my last pair of Kinvara 8's, which were a model I really enjoyed. The 11's get back to what I liked about the 8's. I also like the 10's which I currently have a few pairs to use up. However, I have worn through one pair of 11's already and enjoyed every mile in them. They are the most responsive kinvara I have ran in. The newer foam is great.
