Excellent quality
I've had these for about 2 years now...and I'm SO SAD. They've been so comfortable and supportive to my knees. These shoes have been my dailys for work, and they still support me better than sneakers I've bought 2 months ago. They're very light and slip on easily. I've worn holes through the top with my big toe, so I want to upgrade. Unfortunately, I got these because I had a tight budget. I bought them for $54, and now the exact shoe is $112. It's a great shoe, however I will not be able to afford another pair.

Perfect shoes for my wide feet with plantar facitis
Love these shoes! I wear them for HIIT class 3x/wk, outdoor pickleball, line dancing class, & walking dog daily. Time to replace, but they're out of my size. Getting another style of Saucony shoes instead.

Great minimalist like running shoe
If you’re looking for a running shoe without all of the extra padding, this is for you! I usually buy stability shoes but wanted to transition to neutral running shoes if I could so I thought these would be a good starting place since there isn’t much foam to risk a bad ankle sprain if I did roll my ankle.First run was about 4 miles and I loved it!! They are super lightweight and I had no issues even though all I know are stability shoes. The mesh upper is so comfortable and the wide width in my normal shoe size fit perfectly. Absolutely no injuries.I bought another pair in a different color since the Kinvara 14 has so much more padding and doesn’t look like it will provide that minimalist feel.This is only my second pair of sauconys I have ever tried but I haven’t been disappointed yet!Excited to keep running in these to see if I can build ankle strength and lower leg strength (thanks to the low stack height and heel to toe) and officially transition to neutral running shoes.I wouldn’t recommend these for standing for long periods of time but Saucony has plenty of heavily padded options that would work great for that!Did I mention the great price!!!!!???? Can’t beat $60 for a great pair of running shoes from a great brand!I also think these are really sharp looking shoes. The logo looks sharp on the sides and the laces are stretch to accommodate some foot movement. The toe box is also very roomy.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
I love the Saucony Kinvara's. You have to know the shoe is coming lightweight, low drop. That means NOT cushioned. This is not a cushioned shoe. If you want a luxury cushioned Saucony, opt for the Triumph. This is the perfect shoe for speed work and potential racing.DURABILITY: The Kinvara has NEVER had a hard rubber durable grippy outsole- that's how it stays so light. The outsole is exposed EVA foam, so after running 200-300 miles, shoe will LOOK like it's worn down, BUT that is JUST aesthetics. The foam itself, in my experience has been good until about 500 miles. I've put at least 600 miles on my Kinvara 12's and I'm just now upgrading. BUT if you want a hard rubber outsole and maintain lightweight in Saucony, opt for the Ride 15's. A comparable shoe to the Kinvara 13 would be the Hoka Mach 4 or New Balance Rebel V2 if you want to change brands.SIZING: If you look at Saucony's size chart, the entire brand runs smaller than other brands. For example, I'm an 8.5 in Hoka, Nike, and New Balance, which is 25.5cm in foot length. In Saucony, 25.5cm is a SIZE 9. So MAKE SURE you check the size guide and measure your foot! HOWEVER: I found the Kinvara 13 to be roomier in the toe box than the 12, but I fear sizing a half-size down they will be too tight. Catch 22.Still haven't worn them to run yet because I'm not sure about the size. When in doubt, go to your local running shoe store to try on for the fit, then order on Amazon for the cheapest price.

Great light and speedy shoe
Great speed workout shoe! Light for speedy runs. Neutral fit and very comfortable. My go to for tempo and fast paced runs. Have purchased these multiple times. Get about 400 miles in them before needing to replace

Very comfortable
These are BRIGHT. The pink has almost sort of an orange tint to it and it's a very noticeable color. Ordered my usual size of 6.5 and they fit perfectly. Decent arch support for me. But the gel, or whatever material is lining the foot area- FANTASTIC!! I've been wearing these at work for about 2 months and I still feel like I'm bouncing on the foot padding, it's really amazing! So soft and sort of .. "squishy", but in a good way. Anyway, I can't think of any other shoe I've ever had that stayed feeling so brand new for so long. Usually after a couple months the shoes are already worn in and just feel basic. This is my first ever pair of Saucony shoes and they've made me a convert.
