Saucony Kinvara 13 | FULL REVIEW | More of The Same... But Maybe That's Okay?

rily a bad shoe. I just don't think it's my cup of tea anymore. Yeah

Try the reebok floatride forever energy. Its about 100$ and it is a very very good shoe. Im overweight too but can run 7:30-8:30/mile pace in them easily. If you have stronger feet, i'd suggest the saucony kinvara.

Thank the old man in the sky that Saucony took the kinvara back to its speedy roots. Slightly on the narrow side, but this shoe is responsive, quick, and personally the perfect amount of cushion for even those longer runs.

What running shoes do you use?

Saucony kinvara and like 5 pairs of ultraboost 1/5 ready for retirement.

Kinvaras are light. My 400m times were faster on them.

Ultraboost I use mostly for long runs and daily wear.

The boost are the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn so...

First shoe haul complete. Kinvara 13, Nimbus 24, and More v3 added to the collection

Kinvara 13:. All of the other shoes in my rotation at the moment are either max cushion, or high cushion, so I wanted an easier lightweight trainer thrown in there to add some variety. I was on the fence between buying these, or the Guides, and I ultimately decided to go with the Kinvara. I find it to be unintrusive to put it simply.

Fastest minimalist shoe?

The Altra Escalante Racers are great. Also, you might want to check out the Saucony Kinvara 13 (4 mm drop).

After a ton of reading on here and elsewhere I just pulled the trigger on a pair of Saucony Kinvara 13 at Jack Rabbit/Fleet Feet in NYC. The associate wasn't super hands on with the fitting, but was responding to my question appropriately, and brought out a few shoes for me. I was slightly concerned about sizing because there was just about half a thumbs worth of space between my big toe and the end of the shoe, but they reassured me this was a proper fit.

Looking for recommendations similar to Nike Free Flyknit. See comment for background :)

I ran in Nike frees for a while, even wore them in a few marathons. I think the closest

I’ve found to the Nike free ground feel, while still benefiting from modern shoe technology, would be the Saucony Kinvara and Brooks Hyperion Tempo.

Anyway, the shoes arrived and I've done a couple of first - an easy 10k and a faster 6k. Initial impressions - to be honest, one of disappointment. Despite all the rave reviews on YouTube and so forth, they don't feel anything special to me. They're neither super-cushioned nor super-responsive.

Beginner running shoes under $80

These shoes are winning lots of awards, with people who normally wear $150+ shoes saying they can’t believe how good they are. Asics also do some really good value options including the Gel Contend.
