"Don't fix it if it ain't broke"
I've worn the Kinvara's exclusively since the 7th iteration and it's been my ride or die shoe. I have run everything from track workouts to marathons in them and have always been nervous when new iterations come out. However, I always try to keep an open mind and review shoes based on the actual fea...

They Couldn't Leave Well Enough Alone
This version of the Kinvara is, unfortunately, terrible. It is such a completely different shoe that it shouldn't even be labeled as a Kinvara. The stack is too high that I can't feel the ground and the cushion is way too soft for my liking. I felt the difference immediately in my feet and calves an...

Fanatic here!
My favourite style of shoe. I'm on my feet all day walking in a hospital. These shoes are so comfortable! I must have every colour. I also get lots of compliments! I'm becoming a running shoe fanatic.
Uncomfortable
I did not like the way these shoes felt on my feet. They were very uncomfortable. This new style just did not work for me.
Best for me
I wear nothing buy Saucony tennis shoes. My niece told me about them years ago and I have found they are the best and most comfortable for me. I have a very high instep and arch and these are perfect for me. I haven't worn the yellow ones yet but I've had several of the same style before.
Narrow toe box
These shoes are just ok. I have worn several versions of Kinarva after they stopped making the Zealot, and the Kinarva 14 is definitely the worst. My biggest complaint is the narrow toe box. I have been running in Saucony shoes almost exclusively for about 30 years. The thing that attracted me to the brand was the relatively roomy tow box. My feet are narrow in the heel but wider in the toe area, with high arches. This makes finding a good fit pretty difficult. Saucony had always fit me well, but now it seems like the shoes are getting narrower with each edition. When I bought the Kinvara 14s, they felt really tight, so I actually also got a pair in wide width to see if it was any better. The wides didn't feel much wider in the toes, but they seemed very loose in the heel and arch area. I ended up returning those and sticking with the regular width, but they just aren't very comfortable. Saucony used to be a great shoe, but it seems like the fit and materials are getting worse. With each pair, there is always something that's just not right. The laces are too short and the shoes don't last very long. After 30 years, I'm thinking it might be time to try another brand.
Very tight, narrow toe box
I've been wearing Kinvaras for years but this is my first time trying the 14. Too narrow and tight across the toe box. Which is crazy because I have narrow feet. No way I could run in these. I returned them. The pros are that it's a nice looking shoe with a pretty, subdued color, and the shoe is very light. I would have loved it if these worked out but sadly, they did not.
bummed
I loved the first pair of these shoes so I bought some more. 1 pair was good and fit like the rest, the other 3 pairs ere not good and all fit differently. I was disappointed. so I will only buy them at a store where I can try them on....not online.
Fantastic Quality
These shoes are amazing! I'm on concrete floors 40 hours a week & the help my heel spur & my knee! They also SPARKLE! They're beautiful!🥰
Kinvaras no more..
Unfortunately, the Kinvaras are not what they used to be. I currently run 10-15 miles per week and weigh 125 pounds and these shoes barely last me 2 months. I used to run 25-30 miles each week and could get them to last at least 3 months (Kinvara version 11-12). I always love the colors, but I've purchased 4 pairs of Kinvaras in the past 8 months and they are all shot. Sadly, I will be seeking a different brand.
The toe box is too...
The toe box is too small/narrow. I have done 6 runs or so and they are not nearly as comfortable as my previous Kinvaras. I have worn the Kinvara since Kinvara 5 and there was only only one other the 6 I believe that didn't meet my expectations. So sad bc I have loved this shoe for so long. Hopefully the next one will be better. I'll be searching for something else.
