Couldn’t say enough good things about these shoes that are amazing and I absolutely love them
Best pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned , I have bought 3 pairs of these so far the first pair I got was from a local running store and they changed my life I run over 100 miles a week and these are far and away my favorite shoes I’ve ever had they are light weight and comfortable, good for the treadmill or road races , they’ve helped my get faster and I honestly have started to stockpile them cause I love them that much

Best running shoe for me so far.
I have worn Altra shoes for almost my entire running years and was reluctant to purchase a pair of shoes with a drop greater than zero. Well, after trying a few low drop, low weight, medium cushion shoes that were wide enough for my feet, the Kinvara 14 was the answer. 7oz with just the right cushion and softness for me. They are not as wide in the toe box as Altra but wide enough with a wide width. So far so good as I use them for daily runs and will try them for a 1/2 marathon in a week. The 4mm drop does not appear to be that significant.

Light, feels good, attractive color
Got me through a marathon and is still helping me now in my day to day running. My feet still felt good after 26 miles and it is a super light shoe.

Much narrower than previous versions of the Kinvara
I've run in many iterations of the Kinvara, and the big takeaway here is that this shoe is much narrower than previous versions. I have gone through probably 6 pair of 12-13s and those fit comfortably in standard width. Foot girth is a concern for me, and I wear my running shoes very loose. I've found I'm prone to stress fractures and general discomfort with tight running shoes, particularly near the beginning of the toe box, basically where the laces start. As a result, I want the laces at those first few eyes to be as loose as the shoe allows. With this shoe, fully loose is still too tight. At 10-20 runs in they are finally loosening but I've dealt with hot spots on the top of my foot and discomfort with each run. The upper is also firmer than prior Kinvaras so there is less give. My advice is buy this in wide if you are concerned about narrowness. The problem there being that they can be difficult to find in wider sizes and colors can be very limited.The shoe performs well otherwise. Response is good and weight is good. My only other complaint would be that they are starting to go for this style trend with a very tall-sided sole. It gives them a Hoka-esque look that I don't like. It doesn't bother me much when actually used for running, but I tend to burn through running shoes quickly and then use them for casual shoes. For a casual shoe, I find that look a bit exaggerated and cartoonish.Overall, good as a light, responsive, low drop, running shoe. Too narrow and stiff with a poorer aesthetic, as compared to prior versions. Will need to run a bit more in them to decide if I'll repurchase.

Lightweight Value
Got me a 5k & 10k pb responsive, great support, light weight, true to fit, great value for money if I'm honest, I like the style and design, it's breathable and very supportive for uppace runs.5k - 19:3810k - 43:32

Disappointed
I would use them 2 to 3 times per week to walk on a treadmill at the gym for 3 miles... the hole in the back of the shoe caused a blister on my foot and I had to stop using them after a few months. Very disappointed i read good reviews on reddit and here. I contacted Saucony and they said i bought from a 3rd party seller, even though it said that i was in the Saucony Amazon store when i bough them so they didn't honor the warranty and i wasted my money.

Light Trainer / Racer
I really like the Kinvara line, on my 6th Saucony shoe, 4th Kinvara since the 12…. and 2nd pair of 14. I moved from Nike to Asics to Brooks now Saucony over the past 30 years of serious though not competitive distance running. I find Saucony to fit my foot best now, I would say I have an average foot (definitely not narrow, but also not wide). These are more what I would consider a no nonsense lightweight trainer, or a mid distance racer (a Marathon would be just fine too) for a less than competition runner. Very lightweight and breathable, nice cushioning but also feels pretty responsive (springy), good sole ergonomics though not a roller like a lot of newer plate shoes. It’s a neutral shoe, with low weight and flexibility the priority over support, durability, and all out speed. Very little rubber on the sole, this to keep weight down and provide high compliance, so these will not last too long on rocky trails etc., though I’ve run plenty on different surfaces. The upper is very airy and minimalistic, I have a small tear by my pinky toe after about 4 months of heavy use (surprising that’s the only tear tbh), again weight saving and comfort was the objective with these materials. So I liked them enough to buy a second pair!
