Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

Overall the performance of this shoe was pretty spot on particularly the width of the toe box. However, within 150miles the tow box starred to rip. So disappointed.

Really like the fit and comfort. In fact I bought two pairs! However, the rubber at the toe already peeling back after a month. Not the highest quality.

I love the Kinvara 11's but sadly these are not the same. They gave me bad side foot pain while running and walking. They are light and bouncy but sad I had to return due to pain.

I have two pair of Kinvara 8's I love. Trying to find another pair. I've tried the 11's and now the 12's and both of those models hurt my feet. The 11's the heel doesn't fit well and the 12's my entire foot has pain. Really disappointed. If you have any stock of the 8's Saucony please let me know! Or if you can recommend a different model that's similar to the 8's.

I bought these because I loved my Kinvara 10 but ever since I bought these my calves/feet hurt when I run.

I loved the Kinvara 11's but the 12's have significantly less cushion. I won't even run on the road with them because they're not a good running shoe. I'm so disappointed!

I have loved running in the Kinvara since version 5's. I love love the 10's. Those are my favorite. The 11's are too snug in the toe box for my feet. I need to size up one. Please bring back the 10's!!!!

Not as sturdy as I'd liked them to be. Very light weight runner if you like that kind of thing. The pic is a little misleading. I won't buy again and only wear in the house.

This shoe is not true to size compared to my other Saucony shoes.

I really liked them at first, they're well cushioned and grip nicely but right off the bat they make my feet go numb! Lots of room and the right size, even tried different laces to see it it was a tightness issue, but something about them makes me lose feeling in my toes.

The styling and appearance are great. I was surprised by how narrow they were compared to the Kinvara 10. Would definitely need a wide in the Kinvara 11

They look really neat and the design is great! About 3 miles into my run, they started to burn on the bottom of my feet. These shoes will be fine for training, but not going to work for long runs.

The Kinvara 10 was my favorite Kinvara yet. I've been wearing Saucony for more than 8 years and the Kinvaras are some of my favorites. I wear them for all my marathons and half marathons. I was so excited for the ViZiCitron color because it's so bright and fun. However, this is one of the worst Saucony shoes I've ever worn. I usually don't have to break in my Kinvaras but I've worn these on several runs and they are literally unbearable. My foot falls asleep and then the arch of my foot starts to hurt so badly. Strangely I think the problem might be the shoelaces. They are reflective so they have absolutely no give and they are entirely too short. I can hardly tie them at all in fact. Sadly these are form over function for me and I am hoping to send these back for another shoe.

I wanted to love this shoe! So bad! This is my 6 or 7th pair of kinvaras, I've been wearing them since 2016. And I've loved every model, until this one. While the shoe feels sturdier than the prior versions, looks amazing, and seems more durable, I have a problem with one of the new features- in the heel there is some more rigid material which is great for the structure of the shoe but gave me insane blisters, and has multiple times over the course of the 2 months I've had them.. I thought I could "break them in" but I've not been successful. While they're fine for shorter runs, anything over an hour they tear my heels to shreds

I loved the Kinvara line for the last 5 years. This new one looks great but fits and feels awful. Too tight across the arch and I think the cushioning distribution is different because my toes hurt after a run. And why are the shoe laces so short?

It is a good shoe. I am more accustomed to the everun sole though. These are just not as "padded". Good shoe though.

I started wearing Kinvaras in 2010. I love them they are my favorite shoe and they have always given me at least 300 miles of wear. I even took one pair with me to Officer Candidate School for the Marines In 2011 and they held up wonderfully even through very muddy trail runs. I was disappointed with the quality of the 10s but I read a review that said the issues had been fixed in the 11s and that the sole was more durable so I gave them a try. At about 120 miles the shoes were completely worn out. I'm so disappointed this has always been my favorite shoe and for that first hundred miles they were great but I can't afford to buy a $110 pair of shoes every month. Maybe I'll try a different model in the future, but I guess I'm off to the running shoe store to test out some different brands and find a pair that's hopefully as comfortable but will get me more than 120 miles before I have to buy a new pair.

I wanted to try a new brand. I got them delivered yesterday and wore them for a 45 mins run. By the end of my run, I had blisters at the back of my feet. I am very disappointed at this purchase as it is my very first Saucony shoes. It has good balance on concrete, but nothing is as uncomfortable as running shoes with blisters. Going back to Nike.

I wear the Kinvara Size 9.5 and have owned many pairs of previous versions. However the Kinvara 11 did not have the same fit and feel of the Kinvara 10. Also the back tab seems very rigid and it goes higher up on the back of the heel. Very uncomfortable. Unfortunately I had to return and I bought a pair of Kinvara 10 from another source as Saucony is completely sold out of my size.

I've been wearing Saucony for 15+ years and Kinvara has been my go to shoe for the last few years. Unfortunately, the 11 seems to fit a bit larger and also doesn't provide the same amount of cushioning and support as previous models. Disappointed with this purchase.

I love the Saucony brand. This was not the right shoe for me. I pronate, have flat feet, need stability and I stand for long periods. This shie is not solid enough for my feet

I have been a big fan of the Kinvara for a long time, & was extremely excited about this update. Unfortunately, the shoe broke down quickly resulting in multiple blisters. The shoe never really fit my foot correctly. I will usually buy a few pairs because I just can't get enough, but that won't be happening this time around
