Saucony Women's Progrid Kinvara 3 Running Shoe

I love Saucony running shoes and this one is no exception. This shoe is wonderfully lightweight yet supportive and comfortable. I have worn them on a short 3 mile run with no rubbing or blisters. I've also been wearing them around town running errands and they are super comfy and really cute. I am a size 7 and I think they fit true to size. The first time putting them on they seemed small but the more I wear them the better they feel. I ordered a pair for my daughter who is a size 8 and she is quite satisfied with them as well.If you're looking for a stylish, lightweight and comfortable shoe, this one is for you.

I really like these shoes. I ended up getting the white/citron/pink colors after debating if I wanted the "ugly" looking shoes vs the better colored ones, but then I saw the "ugly" shoes were $30 cheaper for the EXACT same pair of prettier shoes and it was a no brainer. They arrived with pink laces, which I didn't know about, that helped make the colors a little better, but it turned out they look a lot better in person, and I don't mind the neon citron laces.People complained it rubs the Achilles to blister point, and even though I wear high ankle socks, I could feel it wanted to rub it, but by the third time I wore them to run, I never had a problem again. So I recommend wearing higher ankle socks to protect them, and break them in because it's worth it. They were true to size for me. I'm a 9 in Saucony, and they fit perfectly.They're incredibly light and a great pair of running shoes. I definitely recommend them.

I love almost everything about the shoe - material, construction, extremely light weight, minimal drop, colour selection. The only issue though is that the sizing seems way off to me. I am an 8 in the Saucony Hattori, and the 8 in the Kinvara seems really really large. I've returned the 8 for a 7.5, but to be honest am not sure how that will fit. I was hesitant to go for a 7, as that seemed like too big of a move size-wise, and I was afraid they might end up too small. With a big shipping cost, I'm going to stick with the 7.5 no matter what when it arrives.

When I received the box and opened it I immediately panicked. While I knew these shoes were supposed to be on the lighter side I couldn't believe how light they were, and wasn't sure there would be enough cushion and support for my weekly mileage - which can top off at 50 miles. However, when I ran for the first time in them tonight they were kick-butt awesome! Ran a fast 7 and felt great! I agree with other people that the back is high and the fit is narrow, but these are two features I like in a long-distance running shoe. My feet did not slide side-to-side like in my Ride 5's and I felt fully supported around the ankle. Lastly, if a shoe can be sexy (which I think they can) these are stinkin' hot!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best looking running shoes I've had in half a decade and they perform to boot - can't ask for much more, unless they could come with Channing Tatum in the box. If you're a small runner who doesn't pronate, looking for a fast shoe with looks, don't hesitate to buy - the Kinvara delivers.

I first bought this shoe on a recommendation that it would help the knee pain I've had from my "stability" shoes. I loved the first pair and ended up buying a second so I could rotate them out during the week. My knee pain was reduced after three runs and by the end of two weeks in these it was gone completely. I've been running 20-25 miles a week in them and no complaints whatsoever. They're very light and airy, perfect for the hot, humid climate I run in. I do think that if I were doing runs longer than 15 miles, I'd want something with a bit more "shoe," but for my half marathon training they're great. The bottoms are lightly cushioned and very firm, so they offer good protection from the road without the squishy-ness that seems to cause me pain. I also like how wide the toe box is. I have a tendency to blister on my instep, and these shoes make that less of a problem. Overall, I'm very happy with them. I'll be buying my third pair for race day soon!

This shoe fits true to size. In the heel are a couple a small bump outs on each side that help secure your help so as to not slip. This is something I was extreamly interested in because I have this problem and it makes it difficult to find shoes that fit right. The shoe is very light weight and the insole is very cushy. I use this for shoe for walking and after a few days of wearing it while working out, I'm sold. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are almost two short; 3 or 4 inches long would have been perfect.

I have read a lot of great reviews about the Kinvaras and was hoping they would work for me, but they just don't. I ordered both the regular width and a wide shoe. The regular was far too narrow in the toebox, although the length was okay. The wide was only a couple millimeters wider (I measured it) but had a lot of extra volume in the upper so that when I laced it up around my foot, the upper was quite wrinkled and uncomfortable. Both the regular and wide widths have a very tall stiff heel that was irritating to my Achilles tendon. I never even ran in the shoes; just wearing them around the house was enough to tell that they don't fit my particular feet. Thanks, Amazon, for the great customer service that enabled me to give these a shot and return them when they didn't work out.

I'm used to the Saucony Women's Progrid Ride 4 fit and I love that shoe! But, Saucony changed the look and style of the Progrid 5 and I was leery of trying it, so I tried the Kinvara since it was on sale. It has an excellent, bright and cool look, especially the blue/white version. The description of the shoe read something like gel heel so I should have known from that that it would feel different and it does! I do like the feel of the gel heel but it is so cushioned that it throws my center of gravity back on my heels instead of forward. I won't run in it but I will use it to walk in and around the house. Overall a nice shoe but not what I expected.

After losing a large amount of weight I have found that my feet have gone down in size too. I was wearing UK size 9 but was finding them somewhat loose. These are just right. I love the colour. It's true to the image given. I have bought stretchy laces though to make putting on and removing the shoes that much easier. I have worn Saucony shoes for the last few years and find them extremely comfortable and almost as light as a feather. The price that I paid for these is also a contributing factor in my continued loyalty.

Love them

As I'm Italian, I couldn't find this artiche in Amazon.it, but the fast delivery form Amazon.de is as good as the Italian site. Right object, right number right all. The only problem I've had is with the language, which is strictly linked to the nation of the single site, could be more friendly if it was also in english.
