Saucony Kinvara 13 | FULL REVIEW | More of The Same... But Maybe That's Okay?

rily a bad shoe. I just don't think it's my cup of tea anymore. Yeah

Thank the old man in the sky that Saucony took the kinvara back to its speedy roots. Slightly on the narrow side, but this shoe is responsive, quick, and personally the perfect amount of cushion for even those longer runs.

First shoe haul complete. Kinvara 13, Nimbus 24, and More v3 added to the collection

Kinvara 13:. All of the other shoes in my rotation at the moment are either max cushion, or high cushion, so I wanted an easier lightweight trainer thrown in there to add some variety. I was on the fence between buying these, or the Guides, and I ultimately decided to go with the Kinvara. I find it to be unintrusive to put it simply.

After a ton of reading on here and elsewhere I just pulled the trigger on a pair of Saucony Kinvara 13 at Jack Rabbit/Fleet Feet in NYC. The associate wasn't super hands on with the fitting, but was responding to my question appropriately, and brought out a few shoes for me. I was slightly concerned about sizing because there was just about half a thumbs worth of space between my big toe and the end of the shoe, but they reassured me this was a proper fit.

Anyway, the shoes arrived and I've done a couple of first - an easy 10k and a faster 6k. Initial impressions - to be honest, one of disappointment. Despite all the rave reviews on YouTube and so forth, they don't feel anything special to me. They're neither super-cushioned nor super-responsive.

Beginner running shoes under $80

These shoes are winning lots of awards, with people who normally wear $150+ shoes saying they can’t believe how good they are. Asics also do some really good value options including the Gel Contend.
