Just got my Kinvaras and waited almost 2 weeks for them. Sadly they run small and are a bit narrow as some have said. I wear an 8.5 and never have I wore a 9. Crazy sizing.Maybe they will loosen with time. Wore already for a short walk and now can't return. Wonder if wide width would be too wide..

These shoes do not feel as wide as my other wide shoes. The width seems too tight. I wouldn’t buy them again.

I purchased a size 8 based on recommendations in the website, and they are SO TIGHT!
Toes numb, very uncomfortable.
I love the shoe, and it is my first Saucony so I will look for a wider, larger fit next.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Adidas

Absolutely LOVE this shoe but its a 1/2 size too small for me. So, I'm returning & will reorder same shoe in a 1/2 bigger.

It is an okay substitute for the Freedom 3. It is balanced for me but not as comfortable as the Freedom 3.

The updates are not great for me. I don't feel as supported and it feels as if I am sinking into the pavement. I found a pair of new 12s online and tried them today and it was heaven.

The Kinvara 12 was so spot on that I thought the 13 would be similar. Nope. Longer, narrower, and runs at least a 1/2 size too big, if not a full size. Not sure why Kinvaras have been so hit and miss. Would love to see the Mirage back in the line-up.

I've worn Kinvara's for many years because the fit and comfort has been great. I've never had a problem with my Kinvara's in the past but the model 13 is terrible because the peds keep slipping down my heel and bunching up under my feet. The ped socks I wear and have worn for many years have a thicker top edge to keep them up and prevent them from slipping down. I need to order a different shoe style because these don't work for me so in the meantime I'm using my old pair. It's a big disappointment because it's money down the tube plus I loved my old Kinvara's.

Comfortable shoes. But I've only been wearing these for about 6 weeks, walking 3 miles 3-4x per week, and the soles are already wearing out. Disappointed in the Durability.

Comfortable at the store to walk with or just general standing, but once I ran with it, the sole felt very stiff and there seemed to be friction between the shoe and my foot. After 3 kms I felt like i was running with ankle weights. Not the right fit for my feet, it seems.

This is my first pair of sauconys and I'm kind of disappointed. Maybe I got the wrong pair, but I am experiencing tons of calf and knee pain. I am training for a half marathon and these were going to be my race shoe but I've gone for about 5 runs and I don't think I'll continue to use them.

huge fan of kinvara 12, had 2 pairs of them. Still have the second one. But 13 for some weird reason doesn't feel the same. The sole is stiff doesn't feel the same spring I was expecting. As a health professional I am on my feet the whole day, this one is not serving the purpose. Took them out for long runs hoping for a break in. Had to again go back to my 12s.
Something has changed in its dna.
Not satisfied this time...

I loved the Kinvara 12's so much I bought the 13. Not the same. I bought the wide for both the 12 and 13 and the 13 is simply just too small. I have a size 9 in both models and they are night and day. They've made the new Kinvara (wide) narrow, shorter, and with a smaller toe box. Defeats the purpose of having a wide shoe. I was intending to buy two of these but will return. Hopefully they go back to the way the 12 was created, was my favorite sneaker.

Much less room in the toe box than the 12 and the cushioning is stiffer. Also rides higher up on my heel and gave me blisters. Went through four pairs of the 12's and had no problems. Not a fan of the 13.

Even after my short speed workouts my feet hurt. Little to no cushion or responsiveness to these shoes. I love saucony but not these shoes.

These are really cute but the sole is hard. I prefer the cushion of Hoka.

Runs small. Cushion doesn't feel in the right place for me. Was not able to return because apparently there is a small window to do that. I have other saucony's same size that fit well.

Was pretty excited for the great color that the website shows. Received my shoes today and wasn't aware that it was going to be red-ish no hints of purple or pink. Disappointed with the color.

I'm a little bummed about the 13s! They definitely have WAY less of a cushiony feel than all prior iterations. I've run 50+ mile road races in the prior versions and felt amazing, I can't do more than about 10 miles in these due to the lack of cushion.

The fit and feel of this shoe has most definitely changed. Why? Same size I always buy in this actual model and now, too small, cramped, tight toe box.
Returned both, gave up.

Nice looking shoe but…zero arch support and runs a full size small. Very lightweight, shallow toe box and cheap feeling. I returned them.
