Saucony Kinvara 12 vs Saucony Triumph 19

Verdict

Overall, the Saucony Kinvara 12 is a lightweight and responsive shoe with a racing feel to it. It has a 4mm drop and provides good ground feel. The upper is snug but not constrictive, and the shoe fits well for those with narrow feet. It is great for short runs and tempo/speed workouts, but may lack refinement for longer distances. The cushioning is not as soft as some other shoes, but still provides enough protection. The shoe is available in a variety of colorways, but some may find the upper design to be off. Overall, the Saucony Kinvara 12 is a solid choice for those looking for a lightweight and fast shoe.

Verdict

Overall, the reviews for the Saucony Triumph 19 are mixed. Some reviewers find the shoe to be comfortable, stable, and well-cushioned, while others find it too tight or uncomfortable. The midsole is a standout feature for many, but the fit of the upper could use improvement. The shoe is generally considered a good daily trainer, but some reviewers prefer a more cushioned shoe for longer distances. The weight of the shoe is also a point of discussion, with some finding it too heavy and others finding it to be a good balance of cushion and weight. The shoe seems to work well for those with wider feet.
