I wear a 91/2 for regular shoes, bought this one as a 10, probably should have gone up a half size. But they’re super light! And I felt nothing when I ran, which is good. Like they just felt good.

I've been running in the Kinvara (alternating with the Ride and Triumph) for years and have always liked it as a neutral, somewhat minimalist shoe with a low heel offset. My only complaint about this version is that the toe box has become shallower from footbed to fabric, as in the fabric presses down on my big toes. I've never had this issue with any Saucony shoes before but I'm also noticing it with the latest version of the Triumph. I've been able to minimize this issue by wearing ultra-thin socks but I hope in future versions Saucony will put a little more depth in the toe box, as with previous versions.

I only use these shoes for basic walking as I shop. There isn’t enough lateral support for exercise.

This is just a very plain sneaker, no high tech or frills. It has pretty good insoles and the outsole is nicely shock absorbing. The Wide width, tho, could sure be more rounded and wider. I'll be using these for bike riding, so they'll work. The Kinvara 14 feels almost the same inside, but more "archy." It has a deeper cushion base - and an awesome, upgraded insole!
I'd also recommend:

Love the color but definitely run small and tight. I already have the mintblue Kinvara 13 sz 7.5 so didn't think I needed to try these on if they were same style and size. Shoes were too small and hurt my feet so much! Ended up with an 8 and so much better. So definitely half a size up if you get these shoes.

Love the color! Very soft but supportive.A bit narrow in the toe. They seem ok with very thin socks I get blisters if I wear thin socks.

The shoes are really nice but I have a wide toe box and these shoes were tight in that area. If you have normal feet you’ll love these but if you have a bunion or wide toe box then steer clear

Super light shoe. I ordered my normal size and fit just right. I have a narrow foot however so others may find it uncomfortable. I wore them for a 4 mile walk without socks and it blistered the back of my heel. I now wear socks and they're fine. Although there is a lot of cushion and support for heels, could use more cushion in outer pads of feet.

I purchased these and really love the shoe, fits true to size. One thing it could use however is more foot padding. I'm using inserts.

I wanted a pair of black sneakers. The first time I ordered these was in a size 9.5 medium. They were too short, so I reordered in a 10 medium. The 10 medium fit perfectly. They are very lightweight and the material they are made of is slightly sheer and very breathable. I am used to purchasing leather uppers which causes the sneakers to be heavier but helps shield your feet from the cold and water. Leather also stretches a little and conforms to your feet. My white sneakers have leather uppers and are Saucony Omni Walkers and they are great. I am looking forward to how well these Saucony Kinvara 13 perform on a treadmill and elliptical machine.

Love the shoes but the 13s have the same awful shoelace holes as the 12s. It's almost impossible to switch out the laces.

size feels a tad small. Not roomy but wearable. A nice light everyday running shoe. I am a long time Saucony wearer

Love this shoe. Only complain is the vinyl decal started peeling off around only 30 miles in.

I like the bottom of the 13s do not flare out at the back as 12 did.

While I wouldn't say the sizing was off, the fit on the Kinvara 13 was just not what I wanted. The 8 was slightly short and the 8.5 had too much space. This has more to do with me being picky than the shoe. I was running in the Kinvara 12 and wanted to get the same size in K13 but it didn't work for me.

I'm a runner and believe in Saucony comfort and support. But I've been buying Sauconys (mostly Kinvaras) for decades now and rarely see a fully coloured Acid Lime option (or other neon yellows or greens). Doesn't Saucony think that Women love neon yellow or green ? I do and would be the first to pick up an Acid Lime Kinvara ! Thanks for hearing me out, Saucony.

Pretty shoes, material seems a little less sturdy for long mileage

Great shoe, but I had to exchange for a 9…I wear an 8 in most street shoes and 8.5 in just about every athletic shoe out there including many prior Sauconys. It was both a little shorter and narrower than all my other 8.5 athletic shoes. And if you are used to Adidas or other brands that actually don’t require 1/2 size up for running, you’ll really want to go a full size up in these.

I've had the Kinvara 12's, as well as previous Saucony shoes, always a size 8.5. For some reason, the Kinvara 13 was much smaller, so I re-ordered in a size 9, and they fit fine. Otherwise, it's not much different than the Kinvara 12, but maybe a tad less arch support.

If you’re looking for a shoe comparable to the old Saucony hurricane this isn’t the shoe. It’s a nice shoe but not as much support. Very comfy though

I bought this because it was recommended for me since I go to the gym and treadmill run, and I do lift weights as well. They are very comfortable. I wish they had more cushion because I run outside too, and the endorphin speed 2 are my favorite for running. These are okay since they are light and comfortable but not a lot of cushion which I know is good for when you are lifting weights (squats, etc) so i can tell a significant difference on the treadmill, these hit a little harder but maybe for an easy run day sure

This shoe is comfortable, lightweight, and stylish. Fit is a bit smaller than expected but a half size larger fixed the problem. Would definitely recommend this shoe for running or walking.

They are light and the colour is great. If you like a lot of room in the toe area you will like these. Not as much support as other Sauconys that I've purchased. I will probably just wear these for walking and not runny.

Quite soft around the top. I have trouble with heel folding in when putting them on. Not as much support as Womens ride 14 which I'll go back to next time. Otherwise comfortable.
