Great upper, ideal drop, light = fast traineronly down side is the heal rubs and actually requires some break-in runs. I used the last lace holes to help mitigate the heal rubalthough they still rub a little after about 50 milesI'm still hopeful my heals will eventually get used to the shoe. I'm a long time runner and wanted to shift to more of a true running shoemy first Kinvaras were from the 2010 timeframev14 is lighter and tighteronly downside is the heal rub.

Bought it as soon as it came out. Love the shoe except that the upper is a little too snug compared to the Kinvara 13 and 12. The gray shoe and black soles make this shoe look awesome, finally a sole that isn't white.

I purchased two pairs of sneakers about three weeks ago, and I am absolutely thrilled with one of them. These shoes are incredibly light and comfortable. Although I wasnt a fan of the other pair, this one has exceeded my expectations

I love Kinvara's. The move to the taller stack height has me still adjusting after owning over 20 pairs since the K2's. I wish the K14's had to tongue pull tab like on the K13's. Overall, this shoe is still my favorite daily trainer and casual shoe. They are lightweight and offer good cushioning. They are flexible enough for a neutral shoe and have many different colorways. Also, these seem to wear pretty well for a lightweight shoe. If the K14's had a tongue tab and were not as tall, they would be a 5 star for me. For reference, I am a 250lb guy that has over 25 half marathons completed.

Bought the shoes and didnt hear back from saucony for weeks. Then, one day I received a notification that the package had been delivered, but no package could be found. Only after calling customer service did I find out that not only had the package not been delivered, it had been returned to saucony and I had not been notified or given a refund until I dug further. The shoes were then apparently sold to another buyer, so saucony had sold the same pair of shoes twice for a brief period of time and didnt have the oversight or care to inform the buyers.

Cushioning is great and the upper is very comfortable. Traction isn't great when it's wet out or if there is loose gravel.

The upper material overlying the toes seems to breakdown quickly when compared to previous models. This greatly reduces the mileage I am able to get out of them. Honestly I miss the Kinvara 7. Great shoe.

Light shoe. Comparable to On Cloud but seemingly better in the sense that my feet adapted quicker to this shoe walking around the house compared to the Coudnova shoe.

I had to return these shoes due to the uncomfortable attachment for the laces at the base which dug into my foot. If you have narrow feet, this may not be an issue for you. The rest of the shoe was comfortable and they are have a beautiful design and color combination. I've gone back to ordering Kinvara 13 shoes that don't have this design flaw.

They are too light. The old Kinvaras were a little more sturdy. My feet get tired in these really fast.

Love these shoes fit foot perfectly. This shoes are firm and feel great on my feet while running. I have several shoes with thick foam. These are a great change up to those shoes. I love doing fast/tempo runs in these usually 6 miles and under. I rally enjoy the firmness yet comfort of this shoe. I grab this pair quite often during the week. Currently running 6 days a wk @/around 40 miles/wk. Great shoe. Only dislike is the shiney look on the upper, but its total acceptable do to the feel of the shoe.

I've been a long time Kinvara fan since version 1 (I still like the v6 as the GOAT) , but I feel like the redesign has gone off the rails. The sole and upper have gotten progressively less substantial to the point that the durability of the shoe has been compromised from using it as a daily trainer. It's still comfy, but the EVA sole just gets chewed up QUICK(+) and the mesh upper is almost neglible in material.

Overall the shoes are quite good. I use them for my uptempo runs from 6-10 miles. They are responsive, and have enough cushion. They do not feel like they are bottoming out which I experienced on the Kinvara 13s.
One negative is how narrow these shoes are. I experienced numb feet on my first few runs no matter how loose I tied the laces. I eventually had to replace the insoles with a pair from some old running shoes. The peba foam insoles are very comfortable and add some extra pop, however they make the midfoot far to cramped and had to be taken out for me.
Overall they are a great pair of shoes, but they are too narrow with the original insoles.

I do not like that Saucony decided to raise the height of the Kinvara. I love to feel the ground when I run. I ordered this online after running Kinvara for five years and have been disappointed in the change. It seems theyre trying to copy HOKA. If I wanted HOKA I would have gone in that direction. Still a solid shoe, but not what it was. Just my two cents!

Been a favorite of mine for serval years, its my go to daily runner. Still not sure if its the best long distance shoe ie marathon distance but otherwise this is a great shoe. I have a wider foot so go with a 12.5 and it fits perfectly and has a nice cushion to it.

My husband is a 49ers fan, so I bought these just before the Super Bowl. He loves them and has worn them every day since. They fit great and the color is perfect.

The only Saucony shoe I haven't given 5 stars. Suuuuper lightweight, which is why I gave it a shot. Definitely fits narrow. So narrow that I can't use as a running shoe. I turned it into an every day casual shoe and it does just fine. Will give the kinvara pro a shot in the future though
