Light speeds ahead The Kinvara 12 is our trusted go-fast trainter, furher refined to make the most of less. Made lighter with a simplified upper, the ride feels as fas as ever - with the flex needed to get you to the start line stronger and the finishline sooner.

OutdoorGearLab

Created for speed, the lightweight design of the Saucony Kinvara 12 tells you just that. From its lower overall stack height to its 4-millimeter heel-to-toe drop, this model is best for shorter distances where speed truly matters. We were impressed with its subtle cushion, which works excellent for aggressive users who are light on their feet. The thin upper is a performance fit, holding the toes and midfoot snug while keeping the heel locked in place. It is also very breathable, which we loved when the runs got hotter during the day.
Some runners may find this model overly harsh if you are not light on your feet. Although we wish it had a more durable outsole, we can't complain, given the minimal weight. We think this shoe is for experienced runners who know their form and try to run as midfoot to the forefoot as possible. We would not recommend this to beginners or those who need more cushion or rigidity in their everyday trainer. If you already have a well-cushioned model, we would recommend adding this to your quiver of options.

A lightweight running shoe doesn't automatically mean it will be a standout performer. In the case of the Saucony Kinvara 12 - Women's, though, you get the best of both worlds. This shoe is lightweight, responsive, comfortable, and comes at an affordable price. The Pwrrun+ base is shock-absorbing, and the FormFit sole enhances responsiveness, making this an excellent option for racing or fast workouts when speed is a priority. This shoe continues to be our first choice for tempo runs, track workouts, and middle-distance race days. The heel and collar are snug and don't slip when in motion. The sock-like fit of the Kinvara makes the shoe feel like a natural part of our bodies. The laces stay tied tight for the long haul, and the tongue is perfectly padded, protecting feet from a potentially uncomfortable lace bed. Even as our feet swell while on the move, we never feel like we need to loosen the laces. 
Runners looking for an ultra-plush, pillowy landing base will find the neutral Kinvara 12 to be a little too minimalist. Because they are flexible and less rigid, they also don't score as high in the lateral stability department. However, the structure is strong enough to support mild, fatigue-induced pronation. Runners who land heavily might not be as successful as we were &mdash; heavy steppers typically need a bit more underfoot cushion to protect their joints. The Kinvara offers a more lightweight style landing, so be sure to keep that in mind. The Kinvara is a superb choice if you're looking to dip your toes into a more minimalist style but aren't sure you want to commit. The shape is reminiscent of a traditional runner but with all of the goodies of a neutral and responsive shoe. Plus, if you're motivated by style, the Kinvara 12's bold color schemes and sleek countenance will have you looking fast and fly.

 If you have a wider foot, just keep that in mind, as you are picking up the kinvara 12 comfort score again, not definitely not plush upper, not a plush ride and they're not going for that at all. Okay, positive and drawbacks positive first, it positives is smooth through the foot strike. I think it's partially connected to how flexible it is, but ground contact. Okay, i get some questions every now and then seth

 engineered mesh, nothing crazy to write home about with respect to the upper construction, the quality - hopefully it's not going to tear if you've taken the kinvara 12 to 400 500 600 miles. I would be interested to see pictures of that upper material uh, i'm going to say breathable very breathable through uh through the toe box fairly stronger, ish uh. Not you know i could bend it if i want to, but it does have a little bit of strength. There, through the heel, counter semi-gusseted tongue and the eyelet chain, um, actually there's my lockdown score on your screen

 for the up all right, just an average standard score. We'Re looking at the power run, uh midsole, which is a tpu, slash, eva blend, all right, which is interesting and as always, saucony if you're listening i'd love to come, dig in more to you at your headquarters and just learn more about how you're constructing these midsoles. Okay, so it's that power run midsole ride an energy return. It'S interesting, i was actually a little surprised

Saucony Kinvara 12 Running Shoe 2021

Just curious on what people like to wear for training, and races if you have a specific shoe for that. 

Getting a little bored with my Brooks and went down a research rabbit hole for the first time in awhile; just amazing how many options there are compared to 10 years ago.

<div class="md"><p>Just curious on what people like to wear for training, and races if you have a specific shoe for that.</p>
</div>

What shoes do you train in? Why?

Bought them because they were light. They are comfortable, but not to the extent I had thought. Like to wear them for walks and office, and that's about it. Not making them regular running shoes

Lightweight for sure!

 It just feels a lot leaner and a lot lighter than what you're getting with that shoe. In fact, the whole shoe scene seems a lot lighter from the midsole to the cushioning that sits around the collar here. So it's a it's a much more stripped down shooter if you, if you've, ran in the kimvara before there's the addition of a very minimal heel, pull here, which is just like an extended little bit of rubber to help pull the shoe on there's. Also, this sort of flared midsole section here at the end and we've seen a lot of running shoes over the past year - do stuff with this heel section

 I think this upper material is just a little bit lighter and a little bit um. It just feels like there's a bit more give in it than there was in the canva 11, but yeah. If it was true to size for me, i wouldn't go up or down size. I find the kinvara series quite difficult to classify these days because there's so many shoes around at the moment that do similar things that the kinvara is it's quite a difficult one

 I think, in terms of as a more speed focused firmer shoe compared to a slightly softer 11 but yeah. For me, it's not one that will go in my rotation uh, despite the fact that it's got an absolutely fantastic design. My verdict on the kinvara 12 is that it's a completely competent shoe for running at faster pace, but in a world where there's so many shoes on offer, and so many new technologies, especially like carbon plates and things like that. It'S very difficult to fit this into

 So, for me, the fit of the kinvara 12 was true to size. I actually thought it was going to come up quite narrow, but that wasn't the case um i and it's quite long at the front, plain room in the toe box and a good amount of width on the sides. It'S the same size, i've worn in the past two editions of the kinvara, so yeah, true to size, the fit for me was fine um. I did find that the 12 feels a little bit looser

Saucony Kinvara 12 Review: Still a fast shoe worth buying?

Looking for another shoe to add to this rotation, I would say on the faster/lighter side? (Not nike)

It's no Ride or Endorphin. But...

 It'S not set up for you guys who are looking for those lazy days um and you know what actually. This is the thing with the canvara and i'll get onto this now um, because i'm kind of struggling to see where this now sits in the saucony lineup. And i tell you - and this is a problem that sucking have created for themselves because they're doing such an awesome job with their shoes bear with me on this. You'Ve got the ride 13, which is about to be replaced by the 14 by the way, which is an evolution of the 13, which i think is still one of the best daily trainers out

 We'Ve got a knit upper on the shoe. It'S got. Power run cushioning in the midsole flexible, sole design, which quickly to give you that transition from landing is a takeoff uh engineered mesh up of a structure, blah blah blah recycled pet linings, which is good rubber at tow and heel for durability, form fit performance, contour, footbed And form to you, memory, foam technology in the footbed um in terms of drop, it is four millimeters. So i see this shoe for me against the like evo ride and the skechers razer 3

 It'S a it's, a problem created by soccer from being awesome. If you want a daily trainer from saucony, get the ride. If you want sort of a racing or racial shoe from saucony, buy the speed or buy the pro, you know 155 pounds 120 pounds. If you can get the other 30 quid together

 Oh and while you're down in the uh comments go over to the description and hit that link to the 41 facebook community on facebook right, so is this shoe any good in this video we're going to find out? So, let's get stuck in okay, so stats and features time. Let'S get that out of the way like we always doing, don't tell her, but i've nicked him again, and this shoe weighs 8.1 ounces, which is i'm looking for the grams uh 231 grams. Shoe is 120 pounds, which is not too badly priced

Saucony Kinvara 12 Review | Uptempo Daily Trainer

With the Kinvara 12, on the other hand, I knew I had something special on my feet from the first second. The upper is quite simply *amazing.* It fits snug, but not constrictive - which is pretty special considering my weirdly wide forefoot. Because of how well it locks down, the ride felt significantly better to me, even though the midsole probably hasn't changed much since the K11 (it's still PWRRUN which is simply a flavour of EVA)

Saucony Kinvara 12. I mean, just look at it.

Great for runs <10k and speed work

32 ounces, and for women's you want me to do the women. Let me give them grams 236 grams and for the women's we got 6.53 ounces, yeah or 185 grams yep and okay. So then we should compare to last year's version as well and fit wise

 This is a rebuild there's. A new shoe, the tooling on the midsole is different, but let's just get into the top here. You'Ve got a breathable mesh like material. It'S not that fun to feel it's kind of rough yeah

 I do feel like it molds. Well, it does and it breathes well. Sometimes i feel, like you - do have a little bit of extra fabric in here with these types of uppers. Sometimes yes, i mean you can see

 I i do think it's a little much. I personally this reminded me of the skating rink that i used to go to when i was a lad with the black light two years ago, yeah with the black lights streaming and stuff like that, so the colorway isn't my favorite, but the design of the shoe Is right and it looks fast and it looks like a faster shoe again. What i will tell you is i've, seen some of the colors robbie and that are coming out for this. So if you're, not down with this vibe, there's definitely some exciting stuff coming for you with some of the colors that will be coming out yeah
