Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 12

Best running shoe ever. This is my 2nd pair. Had a previous version of the Kinvara (Kinvara 5). The 11s are light weight with great support.

i love these sneaks! my feet stay put and in position and do not slide to the front of shoe.

The shoe runs more true to size than previous editions. I went from the Kinvara 8 to this 12. I used to run in 8.5W, I had to exchange for my true size 8. The shoe is much lighter and more form fitting, which I like. Not as bulky as previous ones. Great support and because they're new I feel like I have more bounce. Less like I'm stomping around.

I have been wearing Kinvaras (with other shoes rotated in, but I always regret them and come back) for over 7 years. I am SO happy with the updates in the 12! I buy 1/2-1 full size up with running shoes for comfort, and some previous models would feel a little clown shoe-like with too wide of a toe box, but these give your toes breathing room while feeling fitted and fast! These also seem to provide a little more "pitch" than I remember having in earlier versions. Running in these just feels awesome. I bought a pair for my husband after my first run in them!

This update is a good one!! I've been wearing Kinvaras for about 4 years and the 12s are by far the best yet! Lighter, more fitted to my foot, all around awesome!

I love this sneaker so much! The memory foam is a game changer and they are super light weight. I run 6 to 10 miles a day and they have held up very well. The bright colors also keeps things trendy.

Very comfortable and lightweight shoe. Seems durable too. These are my favorite athletic shoes.

Been wearing the Saucony Kinvara for about 6 years now. They are my "go to" running shoe & they never disappoint. Thank you!

I wear size 12 in most women's running shoes, but they are hard to find because not all manufacturers make shoes for big-footed women. The Kinvara fits true to size for 12s, and is extremely comfortable. There is plenty of width in the forefoot, without being too wide in the heel and midfoot. I can wear thin socks and lace snuggly, or loosen the laces to accommodate thicker socks in cool weather. (But, FYI, I do have narrowish feet so thick socks might not work for everyone.) There is just enough arch support to be supportive without stressing my flat feet. The shoes are so lightweight that I can carry an old pair when I go backpacking to make excellent camp shoes/stream crossing shoes and not even notice the weight. I run mostly on pavement and dirt roads and they work great for both surfaces. Not sure how they would feel for long runs, but for 5 milers they are wonderful. The 4mm drop seems ideal. Equally comfy for walks as well. Love the color choices, too. Thanks, Saucony for being a reliable source for great shoes for women with large feet.

Extremely light, but supportive walking/casual shoe for me.

I previously had a pair of Kinvara 11's that I bought in 2020 and I recently passed 400 miles on them so I knew it was time to upgrade. I loved my old pair, so I decided to get the Kinvara 12's and I am so happy with them. I went a half size up to try to combat some foot pain and blisters, and although it took a minute to adjust to a bigger shoe, I am very impressed. I love how light these shoes are (even lighter than the Kinvara 11's), I feel like I'm not wearing anything on my feet. They are also super comfortable underfoot but also not too cushioned so I can still feel the ground easily. Also, I always love the color options from Saucony, and these are no expection!

Great color options and my favorite running shoes ever!

So comfortable! Whether running or walking the wide toe box guarantees comfort. Engineered support and comfort.

This easy has to be like my 6th pair. Like walking on a cloud

Super lightweight; didn't even need to "break them in". They were a perfect fit from the getgo! Only tiny gripe is the tongue rubs against my front ankle if I don't wear high enough socks. But they are SUPER COMFY and I like them way better than the 11s!

I've been running in Kinvara's for years. I love the lightness and style of the Kinvara 12s. There was minimal break in required. They fit like the perfect glove right from the get go.

The shoes are very comfortable. They look very good because I like the black on it.

I cannot say enough about these shoes! I have the Kinvara 11s and love them but these 12s!!!! Miles ahead of any before them. So light weight and comfortable! Sold forever!!!

Love the new model. I have been running in Kinvara for years and they work great for me. If you like a little lower profile shoe I would go with this shoe

Amazing shoes! I have a health condition that makes it really hard to find shoes I can wear without pain. Not only do these fit me and feel comfortable, but they actually look nice too. I know companies change up their shoes (version 12, version 13) every year - but I am hoping you do not modify these much!! Please keep making a white pair - they are so nice to wear as day to day shoes!

I must admit that I am late the Kinvara party and only got my first pair last year. I love a minimal shoe with good road feel and just the right touch of cushioning for workouts and tempo runs and the occasional long run in rotation with Endorphin speeds, pros and Rides. The Kinvara 12 is even better than the 11, it's a little snappier and the upper is exactly what I want in a shoe, feels like a sock, nothing extra. My first run in them was a speed workout and they performed better than expected. I definitely recommend these.

I can't say enough good things about the new Kinvara 12! I am an essential worker and am on my feet 12 hours a day on cement floors. This shoe provides enough cushioning and support to get my feet through the day. I get compliments on the bright colors every time I wear these shoes. I currently own 2 pairs of Kinvara 12's and look to purchase more as new colors are released. This is definitely my go to shoe!

Great supporting show, great fit. Great value in a product.

My right foot is crooked and not quite right and Saucony is the only brand that fits me and it has to be the Kinvara. They are the greatest shoe for comfort and I love the orange color couldn't get orange but the bright red is ok.I am 78 and retired so cost means a lot..

These felt perfect right out of the box. They weren't too wide like my last pair of sauconys. I've been running in Sauconys for years and this is the most comfortable one so far.
