I really want to love these pair, because feels super comfortable on my right foot. The first pair I ordered, was not even. The left shoe was longer bigger than the right one. The second pair is better in sizing, however, the left shoe has a spot on my left foot where it hurts a bit because of tight pressure. I am not sure to give it a go for the third pair, probably not. If you are wondering that my foot could be the problem as I thought as well, there are 4 more different styles of running shoes I ordered from Zappos and they fit perfectly on both of my feet.
I'd also recommend:

I bought these recently as my old running shoes by another company had been discontinued and I wanted a 6mm or lower offset. I also wanted some cushion as I am recovering from a knee surgery. This shoe checked all the boxes and more. I love them and highly recommend. I did go down a half size for a more snug fit.

I am an RN in the ER and I work 12+ hour shifts and am on my feet the biggest part of that time. Unfortunately, I have had a knee replacement and can no longer run, but I do walk. The 4mm offset is perfect foe me. The Kinvara 6 was by far my favorite, but the 12 is very close. comfortable and light weight, they get me through those long shifts. I just recently purchased 4 more pair.

I love this shoe. It is light-weight and has good internal support. I have the same model that is about two years old (and worn down). The original model was size 7 1/2 but the toe box on this new model is tighter so I had to size up to an 8. I highly recommend the shoe for exercise and walking.

Light weight, plenty of toe room and it still fits my narrow heel. I usually size up half a size in running shoes and these were perfect

I like these shoes! They’re super lightweight but still feel sturdy. I thought I had loved my last pair of saucony’s because of comfort and stability but they were considerably heavier. These have a nice bounce in the heel without feeling like they’re too springy and don’t throw off my gait. My legs/knees aren’t angry with me anymore (ASICS turned out to be awful for me) and I swear I’m faster in these. Just the right amount of space in the toe box and I don’t feel like my feet roll in any direction (over pronation like with the ASICS). I run about 3 miles a day and use them ONLY for running. They didn’t need breaking in. The colors are vibrant and fashionable without being obnoxious.

Nice shoe, great color, loved the look and fit of the left shoe. Had to return due to rubbing a bone I have on my right foot

After trying many running shoes throughout the years Ive been using Kinvara's for quite some time now and I absolutely love them. I will never switch. They are very light weight, neutral shoe.

Narrow enough for my low volume foot and work well with my Tread Labs orthotic/metatarsal pad. Plus the sunset color is just the right amount of bright plus subdued forefoot.

I am a Saucony Kinvara lifer. And I particularly love this pair. They are lightweight& have great support for my high arches.,They also stay cleaner much longer than my last pair. They just feel effortless.

Lightweight but has good support.
I typically wear an orthotic in the bottom of all running shoes as I have pain in the ball of my feet after distance day after day.
This shoe fits the bill

Well cushioned, light and an easy wear not just for running but even work on your feet for long hours! A staple now for me and telling everyone about them!

I have worn Saucony for 20 years and there is no better shoe. This one has super heel support, nice fitting foot and wide toe which is great for running. (even though my feet are extremely narrow - this works well) The cushion is strong and stability is great. I won't wear any other shoe but yours! Thanks and keep up the good work!

This is the first time I buy and wear Saucony. I was looking for a neutral shoe with a 4mm offset and the Kinvara 12 are perfect. A warning about the colour: I bought them in Sunset (which seems to be sold out at the moment) and although they look predominantly black in online photos, they are actually navy and fade into black at the laces. This doesn't bother me as I actually find them nicer this way, but is something to consider if your shopping for a black running shoe.

The Kinvara 12s lead me to a half marathon PR in my first in-person race since December 2019. Light, bouncy feel with just the right amount of support for long runs. I own three pairs of the Kinvara 11s but the 12s will be making more of an appearance in my running collection. All around great shoe!

Kinvaras have been my go-to, every day running shoe for more than a decade. I can always count on them as a reliable, excellent-quality trainer.
