Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 14

This edition feels to me like almost a total overhaul of the Kinvara. I've been using them for about 10 years, so I know their normal feel. These have more underfoot and a little more cushion. Personally, I like the changes. I felt like the other Kinvara models quickly went to feeling like a moccasin, even though I do love the low drop of the shoe. This 14 seems like it will last longer, and I really love the feel underfoot. Definitely NO slush or mush in the cushion, but a little more substantial. I give it 4 stars because they took a time for my feet to adjust, and normally I can wear Kinvaras right out of the box with no breaking in. I think they'd do excellent for half marathons, and maybe even more. (I did wear the 13 in a full marathon, and it did the job... so I'd imagine the extra oomph in this edition would only help.) I will add that I think they lost a little support somehow, which I miss.

I have been wearing the Kinvara's since the 5th edition. This model is 100% not the Kinvara that was and I am so disappointed. The tongue slides off to the side after a short distance and the corner of the tongue cuts into my ankles. I also got 2 black toe nails on a fairly short run (20k), which has never happened in the Kinvara before. I am so sad. I am on the hunt for a new shoe now and holding out hope that the Kinvara 15 will be more like the 13.

Solid running shoe. They didn't need to be broken in all, but I got my feet/body used to them over back to back approx 3 mile runs. Run true to size. I wear 9 in Brooks, Reebok, No Bull, Nike and the 9 is these were perfect. They are light and feel good on the feet. A little cushion, but not too much, so a really good feel on the road (if a neutral cushioning is what you're looking for). A little narrow in the toe box, I have a narrow foot so no issues for me. Would recommend for both road and treadmill. They are comfortable, light, run true to size, and look good. I run approx 16 miles/week.

I bought the red ones because they were on sale for veterans day. I am a nurse and my feet and legs feel great at the end of my 10 hour shift. I spend most of my day on my feet and have a plantar neuroma but no pain with these.

these shoes are insanely comfortable! feels like i'm running on a spring floor! Got them to start getting into running as a beginner, Bought them for my 5k coming up, Very happy w my purchase!

I was stoked to try these super light low drop runners and the first few 5km runs I felt I had wings. I've put only about 25 km on them at this point and I loved them until a day after my last run. My tarsals and metatarsals started to ache on my right foot so I took a day off. I immediately recalled the scorching negative review posted by solereview, how the shoe is likely to cause foot injury due to the sole design. Today I ran another 5km in the Kinvara 14s this morning to give them another chance because I like them so much, and tonight the pain shot up to about an 8 when I walk, mainly in the bones around the ball of my feet. My left foot has about a level 2 pain. So I'm pretty sure it's the shoes. I do pronate a little but still prefer neutral shoes usually and don't have problems. The Peregrine 13s are a favourite shoe so I thought these would be great. Unfortunately I'm having to now agree with the solereview. Do not run in these on a regular basis!! I gave an extra star because I love the super light weight, the extra cushioning and 4 mm drop.

These are beautiful shoes! However they're definitely not a running shoe. They don't seem to have much arch support, therefore I am experiencing strain on my heels and Achilles. Also bought 2nd pair for my husband. Same issue.
