Saucony  Kinvara 13 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

Great shoes but bad heel counter

Super lightweight and super fast shoes but the inside of the heel counter didn't last for long. After less than a month and half i started to feel some pain on the back side of the foot and when i checked the shoes i found that the inside of heel counter was already worn-out. They are still pretty perfect on the bottom but i need to use plasters if i want to use them. Maybe i was unlucky or my feet are just strange :D

My fifth pair of Kivaras

So, I read all the reviews about the Vizipros and most of the disappointment was bc of the color. I took a chance anyways bc well the price was great and I love Kivaras and the colors of this shoe was what I was looking for. BRIGHT!! Do my shoes look exactly like what is pictured no, are they similar yes. The toe of the shoe is more like a combination of bright hot pink, red and a bit of orange. Then from the middle back is like a dark purple and navy blue. I love them!! I also bought the black with white as well as the concrete ones. I broke my back jumping in the Army in 2007 and I wear my tennis shoes on the regular so I have to get new ones often. I have found that these work the best for me. Also, I always order a half size larger. So these fit true to size.

Great all around shoe

I bought this because it was recommended for me since I go to the gym and treadmill run, and I do lift weights as well. They are very comfortable. I wish they had more cushion because I run outside too, and the endorphin speed 2 are my favorite for running. These are okay since they are light and comfortable but not a lot of cushion which I know is good for when you are lifting weights (squats, etc) so i can tell a significant difference on the treadmill, these hit a little harder but maybe for an easy run day sure

Light & airy

These shoes are so lightweight and airy on top but still supportive. They make longer runs (especially in the summer) feel lighter. I wear a 7-7.5 in “regular” shoes and get an 8 in Sauconys (since going up half a size in running shoes is recommended), and the 8s fit perfectly.

Comfortable shoes. But I’ve only been wearing these for about 6 weeks, walking 3 miles 3-4x per week, and the soles are already wearing out. Disappointed in the Durability.

Super Model; Lose the stack height on the new one!

Really pleased with this model and so happy I found one without the crazy stack height of the current model. I'm a decade long Kinvara user and most of the changes have been great. I am not sure what I'm going to do when I wear these out- the stack height on the Kinvara 14 is just too much. I lose the feel of the ground and that ability to feel the road is what drove me to Kinvara over 10 years ago. It's healthy for feet to be able to feel and respond to terrain. Please, Saucony, don't do this to the Kinvara! I want the neutral, low drop and super light with the ability to feel the ground back!! Lose the stack height for the 15's so I don't have to find a new shoe!

Saved my running after hip surgery

I love this shoe - like love it !!! It’s the only show I’ve been able to wear after a hip surgery. The light weight helps my hip flexors not get overworked. Plus the support and communication of the footbed/upper helps my pelvic floor work appropriately. I was unable to find this in any other shoe. It’s been 4 years and I can honestly say this is the only shoe I’ve had success with. Now I’m running 20+ miles a week after not being able to run a mile without a flare. Thank you so much to keep a light weight well supported shoe out there!!! Rare! Also I’d love it if it was added to the rain shield line or sny waterproofing as I’m a full year outdoor runner.

Almost Perfect

I've been running in the Kinvara (alternating with the Ride and Triumph) for years and have always liked it as a neutral, somewhat minimalist shoe with a low heel offset. My only complaint about this version is that the toe box has become shallower from footbed to fabric, as in the fabric presses down on my big toes. I've never had this issue with any Saucony shoes before but I'm also noticing it with the latest version of the Triumph. I've been able to minimize this issue by wearing ultra-thin socks but I hope in future versions Saucony will put a little more depth in the toe box, as with previous versions.

Too shallow

These shoes are awful! I needed a good support shoes for work and these shoes are not it! I put in an orthotic because there is no arch support and without them my feet hurt. I exchanged the 1st pair for a 1/2 size up thinking that would fix the problem, bad idea! Because these shoes are too shallow, putting in the orthotics pushes my feet up against the top the shoe causing a very tight fit! But worst of all saucony won't refund my money! Now I'm stuck with shoes I can't wear. If you ever purchase shoes from them and they don't fit, get a refund instead of an exchange. Consider yourselves warned!!!!

Runners

I was nervous switching shoe brands for my runners, but these shoes made it easy. The padding is great for mid-foot strikers. It’s hard to find a low heel to toe ratio shoe without all the extra padding, but these will do for those of us with narrow feet. Handles loose rock well. Only thing is shoe laces started to fray a little on the second run. They’re not my favorite, but they’re pretty close!
