Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 13

First off, I'm a chiropractor, registered nurse, and avid runner with certifications in sports chiropractic, acupuncture, and functional medicine. I have worn Saucony for years with the exception of the last 5 because I was not putting in the miles to make the price tag worth it. All the "memory foam" shoes are completely worthless, and most people rating something as having moderate arch support don't know what that means. I have an average width foot and am measured at a 9 in women's with a neutral gate and average arch. I wear a 9.5 in non-athletic shoes or I will have corns or very sore toenails for the lack of space and generally 10s in running shoes, but I only wear the brands with wider toe-boxes and no lateral arch support. Any lateral arch support will cause me to sprain my knees. You don't know what lateral arch support is? Your shoe expert can't explain the lateral arch? Look for someone else. They clearly are not educated on the foot. I would love a wider toe box, but in general, these Kinvaras took me from "I have to limp from my bed to the bathroom" to "I can do 5 miles today...at a music festival...and I'm going to dance"...literally. I just wore them to the ACL festival and on daily walks with a new puppy. I'm very happy with them, and they aren't ugly as hell like most of the running shoes I've been looking at lately.

I took another buyer’s advice and got a half size larger. Because the toe box is a tiny bit shallow, this gave me the perfect fit. I’m amazed at how comfortable and light they are. I’ve already worn them on a long walk w/ no problem whatsoever! They are an excellent replacement for my ancient Brooks Pureflows!

Recommend a half size up if you have a wide forefoot. The toe box is nice and wide, but it seems a little shallow compared to the 5 other Kinvara models I’ve worn. (My fav is still the Kinvara 2, btw).

I wear a size 9 but always go up to a 10 in running shoes. These are size 10 and perfect. They are so very light that when I picked up the box, I thought maybe they only sent one shoe! Love them. They have pizzazz.

I’m no expert but I love these shoes. Do a solid 3.5miles a day and they work out nicely for me. Very light but supportive without being restrictive. Not as much bouncy cushion as some others. My Ghost 14s are a little more plush but I think I prefer the lighter shoe and less foam. Definitely go a 1/2 to a full size up. I usually wear an 8.5. Got a 9 but could’ve prob gone w a 9.5

Very comfy from the moment I put them on. These are lightweight and have a roomy toe box. I usually wear a 10.5 but ordered an 11. Just right and I’ll be able to put my insoles in as well.

I order up a size for walking/running shoes. These are a little more narrow than other Sauconys, so the fit is tighter. But I have a narrow foot, so these are perfect for me. Love the color!

First pair of shoes I've tried in a long time that actually made me gasp. Lightweight, supportive, good for my overpronation, OH MY! I ordered wide width 11, and they were wide enough for me, plus I can ratchet my narrow heel down just fine! I'm on the wait list for better colors, but happy to keep the black ones.

I’ve been wearing Saucony Power Run Guide 13s for the past couple years and I love them- comfy and a perfect fit. I wrongly assumed that these shoes were similar and was very disappointed. These are very small (I would need to size up at least a whole size) and have barely any cushioning. They are lightweight but end up just feeling flimsy and cheap. Major disappointment, I’m returning these.

The perfect shoe - everything about it!!!!

Fit was right on. I wear an 8M in athletic shoes and this was perfect. It's my second pair of Sacony, good shoe for workouts.

Love the blue but also would like to have them in other colors.

I got these because I am an usher for an arts event space and need to stand on my feet for five hours. These Saucony shoes are so comfortable. I wore them right out of the box. I have happy feet.

Love this style, very comfortable for walking all during my work shift. Good arch support as well.
