These are very comfortable and fit will. Just needs a few wears to break in - still a little stiff. Love the style. Will buy again.

I have medium arches so this shoe kind a hurts mainly because its for high arches but it'll do! Very light awesome for long distance running

Not loving the shoe strings. They're a little too long. The ride feels good but it feels like it's pushing you back into your heel more where the 11 kept you forward.

These would be perfect if the mesh padded tongue didn't rub against my top of my foot without socks. Very annoying. The shoes are
lightweight, supportive and fit well! I wish I could replace with the tongue in the 11 iteration shoe. Still a fan!

Comfy and cushioned. If you have a wide foot, they work. I have wide feet with bunions from running for 30 years. It's hard to find shoes that don't pinch my feet. These do not. The tongue is "fat", I would change this design to allow for a tighter tie.

I run 15-20 miles a week at easy pace. Really like this shoes after owning ON for 3 years. It feels weightless and soft. Would be great to have a bit more of ankle support, but other than that its a great quality shoe that runs.

Good shoe. I am a 15-20 mile a week runner. This shoe is perfect for me. The right amount of cushion for the type of distance I do. I did swap out my insoles because I have a high arch. But I realize that no shoe (in my opinion) will have enough arch support for me. I get lots of compliments on the look of the shoe itself. I am giving a 4 star rating only because the toes have no shield. I've tripped on rocks and the shoe has no support in the toe box, so my toes take a beating. It's just the rubber sole and the material on top of your toes. That's it. Anyway, I do love them and kept them despite the toe flaw.

I just retired the 9's and am always leary about new shoes but these so far are almost as good as my well broke in 9's. I did have a little feet numbness after a few miles but I think they just need broke in.

Was excited to buy Saucony again, especially this beautiful Cherry color. Love the color but not as supportive as I'd like; arch support lacking. Overpriced IMHO. Will end up as casual wear.

I love how light weight my Kinvaras are, and comfortable. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the tongue is scratchy and irritates my ankles.

Super soft shoe! Love these! I wear them for long runs or when I am doing shorter pick ups on the road.

I wish I had gone with my gut instinct! I normally wear a 9 1/2 M, but my "suggested size" was 11 1/2! I knew that couldn't be right, so I compromised and ordered a 10 1/2. It was still too long and a little too wide. I'm returning it for a 10 (because a sports review does recommend sizing up in this shoe) and hoping that with the reduction in length it will also be a little more narrow. Otherwise, the shoe looks like it would be lightweight and comfortable.

I love the Kinvara. I've had the last several models and loved them all. My only complaint is that the 12 does not come in a size 5.5 ladies so I won't be able to get it.

I've lived Saucony for many years, wearing them for short and long training runs as well as events. Comfortable and durable Kinvara 11 continue to meet my running needs.

Kinvara's have always been my go to shoe, but the 12 definitely fits me different -it is more narrow than any other Kinvara has fit. I normally do fine in a medium width, but feel like I'd do better in a wide with this model. However, still super lightweight, still has great cushion. I'll try them around the house for a bit before I decide what to do.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. They are what I needed to keep my pace under 10 minutes! I will say, the first time I wore them the ground was wet. It was not raining at the time, and i did not step into any big puddles, but my toes and socks were wet and cold at the end of my 4 mile run.

These are nice shoes, but it's taking my picky feet a bit to get used to them. I think these will be great for running my errands, but not as great for my workouts. Really nice looking shoe

I continue to appreciate the reliability and dependability of the KINVARA line. I have worn them for years. I run 20-30 miles a week including a ten mile weekend run. The Kinvara is lightweight and does as well on 4 mile runs as 10 mile runs. I just purchased the Kinvara 12. Keep up the good work.

For me, the shoe was a little heavy (but I like the lightest shoes possible). Still a good shoe. Color not as outrageous as some (good thing).

Pretty happy with the feel of these during runs. I tend towards very minimal shoes and this is one of the only "traditional" shoe models I tolerate. My only complaint is the tongues are not perfectly symmetrical on each shoe. I notice the right shoe poking the front of my ankle when I wear them walking which has been frustrating.
