Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

Nice shoe. I have very narrow feet and are the best fit I've had. They are extending comfortable. This is me first Saucony shoe and I will stay with them.

I wanted to go for a lighter shoe this time around, and I can definitely feel the difference in a good way. They're comfortable, look good and I'm convinced help me pick up the pace at the ends of my runs.

I have always worn Omni's until this time around and I chose these. I should have gotten wide and they would probably be a better fit. They are a little narrow for me. I've always worn an 8 in the omnis Which is already the 1/2 size bigger than my normal shoes and these feel just a little small in an 8. Otherwise, super cute with all the bright fun colors!

Have been getting Saucony sneakers for years now. Tried others in the past, but now always rely on Saucony for best fit, style and price. Very pleased to see earth-friendly use of recycled materials. Very happy with the online ordering process during the pandemic - Thank you!

The Kinvara has been my favorite speed/short run shoe for years. The toe box was PERFECT for my foot! I was on the "bench" for a while with a rough pregnancy and then being a mom of a toddler and infant. Now that I'm back at it, to my surprise, the shoe has become so narrow in the toe box. I ran in my new pair for the first time yesterday. Still nice and lite with some extra cush. I'm just praying they kind on my wider foot!

I've been wearing Kinvara for four years as a training shoe and a marathon shoe. This version is more narrow across the toes. For me, it's enough to make the shoe uncomfortable after 4 or 5 miles.

I love Kinvaras, they've been my preferred running shoes for over five years. With this recent pair I just don't love them like I usually do. I'm not totally sure why. Are they heavier than usual? They feel foamier.

The product still guarantees the original unique qualities of a Kinvara: you can run fast and you can run long in them! The fit in the heel is more supportive in this shoe and it definitely hugs the back to mid-foot nicely.li would say more snug in those areas than the Kinvara 10. The only reason why I'm giving the product 4 stars versus 5 stars is that the toe box narrowed. When holding up my old Kinvara to my new ones the length is exact the same but quite a bit was trimmed in the toe box. This is a feature I love about Saucony- a wide toe box. I will be purchasing them again in a wide

The Kinvara 11 feel good but not as comfortable as the Kinvara 10. Pro: Saucony eliminated the little heel grippers that were in the 10 and were too noticeable at your heel. Cons: They are not nearly as comfortable or flexible as the 10 (which may have perhaps been my favourite sneakers in 40 years of running). There is also too much tongue especially at the top (and material is almost fake leathery feeling- too stiff) and the same fake leather material at the top three eyelets is also stiff and uncomfortable. I much prefer the 10without the heel grippers but if you run a lot of miles, the 10 wear out quickly.

For awhile my training shoe of choice has been the brooks launch but I decided to give these a shot since they come in a wide which is what I really need. I've only worn them twice and they are a very lightweight trainer with a soft feel and just enough support without being too much. Now for the negative yesterday was my second run in these a 7 mi city run the day after some heavy rainfall I had just crossed a semi busy road trying to get out of the way quick and took a hard spill on the curb which was ever so slightly wet anyways after only my second run in these there is visible wear the knit tore a little and the rubber at the tip of the toe box came off some impact from my fall so perhaps the materials are not so durable. After I got home from my run I went to walk the dogs and slipped but did not fall on some mud at end of my driveway. I really do like these shoes I just won't be wearing these in the rain there's no traction or grip I will stick with the brooks launch in wet conditions.

I love my new shoes! So fashionable and very comfortable.

This shoe is just what I was looking for.

The bottom of the shoes is too hard, and it hurts my feet after an hour walk.

I think The Kinvara 12 was a pair I bought for my grand daughter

I purchased these shoes 1.5 months ago, and I run about three days a week. The logo has cracked and is already starting to peel off on both shoes. I still love the comfort and light weight feel of these shoes, and therefore still recommend the show. But it is disappointing that they are already wearing in this way.

Taking a long time to break in. Very ridged. Still giving me blisters after ~20 wears. Still light weight and good quality, just not as light as I usually find the brand

I ran in the original Kinvara through the 4 but from the 5 on it felt a little weird on my foot. Was stoked to return to this shoe on the 12th model but for some weird reason the last pair I ordered (same size as the previous 3 pairs of the 12) was just too narrow. Idk. I wouldn't mind a tiny bit more cushion under the ball of my foot on this shoe, Saucony.

These shoes were very comfortable until the fabric at the heel wore through and left a big hole. I hadn't had them long when this happened and this is the third pair by Saucony that I have had this happen

These seem like great running shoes, but the sizing is off. I have other Saucony sneakers in size 9 which fit perfectly, but my toes have almost no space in this pair and I get hot spots on my heels. I can only wear on shorter runs. Consider going up half of a size.

I bought these because I loved kinvara 11, but I hate the 12. The worst this is the flimsy tongue that rubs at my ankle. But the fit, support and feel of the 12 was disappointing. It was too late to send back but I did not like this new version.

I've been buying kinvara since 2011 and I have loved every one of them. Except the 12. They are made bigger and once I returned them and got a bigger size they seemed fine. But it was short lived. After about about 20 minutes my feet started hurting. So I tried them for two weeks and then used them for walking at work and every day wear. After about 2 hours they make my feet ache. They aren't good for anything. Super disappointed with whatever they did to the midsole.

They were comfortable enough but the top mesh ripped after only 4 months. The back rubbed and I got blisters but maybe I needed to wear different socks with them. I expected more after reading the reviews.

These shoes are just OK. foot slides side to side, the toe get dirty easily and they don't come clean. For the price I would expect them to feel like good track runners. They do have good tread

I have these in black with bright pink and aqua accents. They are really cute! They are also very comfortable and I can wear them all day even though I have diminished fat pads on the bottom of my feet. My only complaint is that because the tongue is attached to the side of the opening they are hard for me to put on.
