I have worn Kinvaras since the 6's and without fail, every 3 years the toe box gets so tight they are almost impossible to wear. I always end up buying a pair when they first release, I love how they feel on the road, but the toe box determines whether I will buy another pair that year. The 12s were great, a little tight but manageable. The 13s are horrible for the toe box, everything else is great. I really wish I could return them because these are by far the worst yet. Of note, I will still buy the 14s because Saucony is one of the best quality companies out.
If you have narrow feet, these are 100% for you.

Really like the latest iteration of the Kinvara, feels like a sock. Use these for my runs 15 miles and under.

I have ran in Saucony shoes almost exclusively since 2004, bought my first pair of Sauconys(Fast Twitch)two days before running the Boston marathon, loved the feel of them and wore them for the marathon. Ran several marathons in the Fast Twitch model before switching to the Kinvaras.
I have completed The Last Annual Vol State 314 mile road race twice and Last Annual Heart of the South (327 miles) all while wearing Saucony Kinvara shoes. Considering these races are held in Tennessee in June and July the Kinvaras served me excellent. Looking forward to next years LAVS or HOTS and already planning on having another pair of the Saucony Kinvara shoes ready for the journey.

I have been purchasing the Kinvara models since the "11" when I went back to semi-serious running, and this is my 6th purchase in the series. The reason I like the Kinvara models is that they are incredibly light yet offer very good support. They also fit me extremely well, often a problem when I am purchasing running shoes; the standard width is a little wider than most, but not too wide. Running in the Kinvara 13 (like its predecessors) is like running on air, great for an aging runner with hip and knee issues. The 13 is the best so far, with improved feel from the 11 and 12 in terms of fit and comfort. I use my older Kinvaras as casual multi-purpose shoes.

I love these shoes. Super comfortable on runs but also, the only sneaker I don't feel like an idiot walking around town in. 10/10, would recommend.

I've worn Kinvara's since version 9. I love the simplicity of the shoe and these are just a good if not lighter than previous versions. I plan on getting 400 miles out of my shoes, but I got 500 miles out of the 14s and probably could have worn them longer. I have another exact pair and already have close to 200 miles on those.

My favourite trainer ever. I wore three pairs of the 13 over four training seasons after two pairs of the 12s. Haven't tried the 14s yet but if they're anything like the 13s this is the perfect go-to trainer.

I used to run in Kinvaras exclusively - then I switched into the Endorphin series (which I love). After my last marathon in Endorphin Elite's I craved the lower profile, simple setup of the Kinvara. So now I do most of my weekly runs in the Kinvara and use the Endorphin's for speedwork. The Kinvara remains a really great, well-fitting, shoe. It always feels comfortable and fast.

Very light, very stable. I find the 4mm drop perfect for running on the road. Reading other comments I was worried about the width but they fit just like my other Sauconys.

I bought these for my husband. He loved them. Had bought them for my brother in the past, he loves them too. I have the same style for women and they are light weight, padded and very comfortable.

Absolutely love these shoes. I was running the Mizuno wave inspire 19 at first then realized how heavy they were! I wanted something lighter to run in so I tried out these Saucony Kinvara 13 and they are amazing. I do not even run in my Mizuno's anymore. I am definitely buying a second pair of the Kinvara 13s!

I bought these for my son. He liked them and said they were comfortable. He had tried on the newer model in the store and really liked them, but these were half the price for last year's model. He said they were not as light, but great shoes.

I'm a forefoot runner, and have struggled with higher stack shoes always fighting my natural gait too much. I bought these a few days ago, and the first test I gave them was my first half marathon. They didn't disappoint, they are flexible and comfortable with my usual gait, and if I fatigued a bit I could alter my gait, and my footstrike, without the shoes fighting me. Not one blister, or even hot soles, which usually happens on higher distance with most shoes. If you run on your forefoot. And are thinking of trying a more minimal shoe, give these a try!

Tried others years ago. On at least my 6th pair of Kinvara's. True fit, light, comfortable and super fast. Haha.

Great value shoe. Light and smooth for daily or speedier runs. I've ran in them for about 60k and the upper still looks clean.
