I bought this shoe during a buying spree and also own numerous pairs of other shoes, Saucony included. This shoe really does stand out among a wide variety of competition. First of all, the upper is exceptionally comfortable. Saucony may not have the best foam out there, but they do uppers like no one else. (except my Brooks). So many companies are moving towards ridiculous cushion and max cushion with crazy stack heights, but oftentimes they neglect stability. the Kinvara Pro stands out because they have the layer underneath the PB, the standard pwrrun that provides that stability to even out the ride and prevent your ankles from rolling. This is by no means a stability shoe, but if you're looking for performance, while still feeling somewhat protected, you'll get it. The rocker sensation is subtle but it's definitely there, you feel very effortless when you're running at a moderate pace, but these aren't really built, in my opinion, for recovery paces, or ultra easy paces. They like to go a tad faster. Listen, is it going to give you that high you get from running in an Alphafly 3? Not at all. But like they're advertised, they're for the 99% of runs that make you better. I compared them to the SC Trainer V3, the Hoka Skyward X, the Mach X etc, and I would take the Kinvara Pro. (I've got more miles on those other shoes, but that's because my wife won't let me buy more shoes until I wear some others out).
Do yourself a favor and pick some of these up.

@Saucony, for the love of all that is holy, PUT SOME RUBBER ON THE OUTSOLE. You have a shoe that 90% perfect, but the exposed EVA just wears out SO FAST. You made a shoe that is supposed to get you daily miles, but by mile 100, the exposed EVA is flat. You guys had to see this coming. I mean come on. I'll get 400-500 miles out of the other shoes I mentioned, but I doubt I'll hit 250 on the Pro's before the outsole is gone. Maybe just a light spray on the next version, if there's another version.

Don't get these if you liked previous generations of the Kinvara, as I did. The higher stack height and new cushioning make them feel blocky and dead underfoot. It's like running on Silly Putty. And while they're not uncomfortable, the new upper design lets my foot slide around awkwardly.

My previous shoe, the Kinvara 13 lasted 1300 km, these 14's were used on the indoor track for 5 months and I destroyed the uppers after just 3 months or 500 km. Not good.

I've loved Kinvara shoes for their minimalist approach, solid feeling of connection to the ground, feeling nimble and light. I have been buying pairs for years, stocking up so that I've got a fresh pair whenever an old set bites the dust, since they're such a great fit and approach. With this newest model 14, I am so disappointed. The over-cushioned feeling of the bottom gets in the way of agility, and the way the bottom has been built leaves a feeling of instability. I've tried breaking a new set in with low-mileage runs, and after trying am left with shin splints, ankle strain (not normal for me), and unsatisfying runs. I'll be heading online to grab any unsold pairs of the Kinvara 13. For those looking for a minimalist shoe with a feeling of stability and energy, this is not your shoe. Hopefully Saucony will return to the traits of the Kinvara that has made it such a fan for long-distance minimalist runners.

Great running shoes for longer runs. Very supportive with lots of cushioning. These take a little getting used to since the cushioning makes the fit a little tighter.

My red/ blue Kinvara's are super light and very comfortable!

I bought a pair of Kinvaras after running in Rides for the last few years. I like the lightweight aspect. The fact they were on sale was the clincher though. They are okay but I will go back to Rides for my next pair. The only colour left in my size was black. I generally prefer something more colourful, red, orange or yellow. I find these Kinvaras a little narrow but otherwise are a good choice.

Owned many Saucony shoes. First time with the Kinvara. Been wearing them as everyday shoes and I am very happy. Have done a small amount of running in them. Overall glad i bought them. At the discount I got them from the website, it is a great choice.

Lots of hate on this version of the kinvara, but I love it. Yes it's a different ride than the other iterations, but still has good some value for a fast and "lower-ish profile" daily trainer. Made sure I bought a couple extra pairs while the price was halfed.

Fantastic shoe for everyday training. I prefer this shoe over the Endorphin Speed. Has a good amount of pop (foam + carbon) and forward propulsion. I'm not sure how long the outsole will last. Mine fit a touch large and a runners lockdown knot too care of this but the laces a too short for this knot
