Customer Reviews Saucony Kinvara 9

Love this shoe. Have been running in Newtons for years (I am a forefoot runner). These shoes do the job so much better than Newton. lightweight, plush cushioning, allows my foot to work naturally, and a delightful bit of spring at toe off. reduced the pain in my fascia. perfect wide toe box for those running with bunions.

This is my first time trying the Kinvara and I love them! They're so light and nice and wide in the toe box. I like to have a few brand options so I thought I would give them a go and they're a win! These are my go to sneaker on speed work days, I've never had a shoe that was best for that until I came across these. :)

I'll agree with most of the reviewers. These are my favorite since the Kinvara 5! I've been an avid Kivara lover for a while, but when the 8's came out I stepped out to the Freedoms. They're ok, and got me through my Kinvara depression but I am so happy with these! I just wish I had gotten a different color. The red and white are too masculine for me.

This Kinvara 9 is a perfect shoes for my track practice(I'm sprinter). It's run a little bit small for me but it's fine. I also wear them when I have meet for track. I have no idea why but when I wear these it's kind of faster than spikes.

After buying out the internet of Kinvara 5's, I was apprehensive about finding a shoe I loved as much. I am happy to say that I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewers!! I knew as soon as I tried these on that they were going to be my favorite. I have had them for a week now and have enjoyed each run (longest 11.5 miles). Looking forward to many more pairs!

I bought the first version of the Kinvara when they came out years ago and hated it. The shoe was uncomfortable, flimsy, and immediately fell a part. This version has demonstrated a terrific evolution, especially in the comfort department. I switched to the Kinvara 9 from the Fastwitch 5 and felt an immediate difference in stability and foot support. I highly recommend this shoe for road and packed trail marathon and distance training.

Last pair was Kinvara 5. Felt like home again. Super light weight, love the upper just wish it was slightly more breathable. Also wish more color options available. Great feel overall though

I am elated that Saucony finally produced a Kinvara eerily close to my all-time favorite, Kinvara 5. I've been searching for a shoe exactly like my 5s and now I've found them. This shoe is responsive, lightweight, and fits perfectly. The toe box is roomy (not as narrow as the 6-8) and the heel is snug. The laces are an upgrade from the previous edition. I am in heaven. The first run I completed in this shoe was one mile on the treadmill. I thought it was too good to be true so I ran two miles today and they still met my expectations. I've wasted money attempting to find the perfect shoe, even spending more money than I should have, on Kinvara 5s because nothing compared. I own a pair of 8s and they are heavier and have a little bit too much cushioning so I use them for my elliptical workouts. I know that shoe companies always change their models yearly but I hope that 2019 doesn't bring a disappointing Kinvara 10. Thank you for returning back to greatness. Hopefully, we'll see more colors.

I love how lightweight these shoes are. I'm using them for Orange Theory workouts and a dance-cardio class so not doing lots of distance. I love the light weight of them and at first worried they wouldn't be supportive enough because of the weight but have had no issues with shin splints, etc. Happy customer!

I wanted a running shoe to use on the treadmill. This shoe is stylish, light weight and yet supportive for my needs. It runs a little small, so I wear a thin sock.

I have worn Kinvaras since they were first introduced and tried every single version of them over the years. I have worn a size 9.5 in every version of them (I wear size 8.5 in street shoes, but prefer to size up for my running shoes), but I had to size up to a 10 in these. They feel great and I'm as happy with them as always, but be aware that they run small.

Great running shoe. This is my second pair of Kinvara 9s and I couldn't be happier with them. Light but cushioned enough to be super comfortable. I am a loyal Saucony customer and the Kinvara 9s are my favorite.

Saucony is wonderful to purchase from - they ship immediately and great customer support. This particular shoe runs 1/2 size too small, but I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it back. It is super light but it does need more arch support.

True to size but not as light as expected. There is also very little arch support.

Light but they are narrow

Shoe is well made. No breaking in required. I'm a little disappointed with the comfort. I've always run in Saucony shoes, and this my second pair of Kinvaras. The cushioning could be better.

I have been buying Saucony for some time now because of the roominess in the toe box & the true to size fit. I currently have the Guide ISO. In comparison I find the Kinvara 9 to be lighter and a little more comfortable for me. I would like to see the heel a little tighter and higher on my heel but overall I like this shoe.

Second time buying them
