Saucony  Kinvara 16 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

I really really want to give these shoes five stars but I just can’t. They just don’t last long. I run 1-2 miles 2-3 times a week on either a treadmill or road and I went through the tread of the first pair I had in less than six months. I was shocked at the quick deterioration since I don’t actually run very often or long distances. I’m now on my third pair in barely over a year, and they don’t hold up much better as a daily use shoe either. The only reason I keep buying them is because they’re the only running shoe I’ve found that doesn’t leave me with plantar fasciitis pain or shin splints. Please improve the durability of the outsole on these for future models.

Great running shoes, my feet feel supported the shoes are so comfortable I bought them for running but lately I’ve been using them for my work where I have to be on my feet for 8 hours and no pain on my feet they feel even more comfortable than those crappy Skechers o bought for work. What I love about these running shoes is that they keep making them with a normal sole other brands and other Saucony models are so big and look really monstrous like shoes for disabled people I’m not sure why they’re making shoes so big but these Kinvara 16 are perfect they look like normal running shoes just what I was looking for and I encourage Saucony to keep making this model and normal running shoes I hate to see those big soles on running shoes look so ridiculous will be buying more of this model since I’m already using this for work I will buy a pair just for running so comfortable

Absolutely love my new Sauconys, and they look good and match almost any outfit I wear! I had a very old pair of Sauconys from when I was a serious runner, and so I figured why not replace them with the same brand/company. Especially since I was looking for quality running shoes, not shoes that are just popular or more “marketed”. Love them! Been even more excited to go on my runs. I have bunions, so foot wear is super important, and I can be particular about the fit, but these ones definitely fit perfect and do not cause me foot pain. :)

Thank you for having a normal shoe and give me a reason to stick with Saucony. I have been a loyal customer for decades but the last 5 or 6 years have been disappointing. Was in Rides forever, they were great until they weren't. Endorphin Shift 1 was awesome 2nd terrible 3rd ugly and now obsolete. Guide, Triumph, Hurricane too much cushioning and big. I am 5'1" they looked like clown shoes on me. These were my last try and have to say they are awesome. Look more like a normal running or lifestyle shoe. Good on treadmill and road. Well built cute style, may get another color. Wish they had a little more cushion but will take it over too much cushion.

I've been a longtime lover of the Kinvaras and just purchased my second pair of 16s after wearing out the first. They're my go-to run and daily shoes so it didn't surprise me when they started to show wear. This version felt like a lot of what I loved about the 13s. I can understand why people want more support or cushion in their shoe, but these give me the lightweight, low-drop experience I'm after. Also, I have incredibly wide feet and didn't experience discomfort in the toebox. Any blistering I experienced from increasing my mileage was resolved with heel lock lacing. Looking forward to the 17s next time around.

I've been running in Saucony's since 2014. I find the pair that works for me and I'll buy 5 pair at a time. I recently ran out of my last stock and I found Kinvara 16 that is closest to the last ones I've run in. I have run the top 7 Abbott World Majors in Saucony's and I will be running in them in Cape Town South Africa on May 24th for Major #8. This is my first pair in this style and they work find.

I am a lover of Kinvara 13 and 14 and the 15s were a major disappointment so I was looking forward to some improvements for the 16s and while I love the shoes over all, they're just too narrow in the toe box! I've worn them for two weeks now every day trying to get the shoe to relax but something about the material is very hard and firm, no give at all. My pinky toe and my big toe feel so squished on the sides. I may need to give up on them which will be very disappointing since they're not a cheap shoe and I am very picky with my running shoes. Maybe a wide version some day?

5th time buying this exact sneaker but different color. This is the only shoe that doesn’t give me blisters when running. They feel super lightweight but just enough cushion. 10/10 recommend.

Love them!!! I run my 5K PR WOOT WOOT That brand is my favorite !

I had been waiting for the Kinvara 16 because it had been billed as a return to the classic specs. I ordered on the first day they were available and they definitely did not disappoint. I lam so happy with the light weight, the airy upper and especially the lower stack height I always loved about the Kinvara. I tried them alongside my 14s and 15s and they are definitely lower to the ground and a lot softer in the midsole. The Cameo model is a lovely soft pink I'm already in love with. Kinvara lovers, rejoice!
