Customer reviews for Women's Kinvara 3
Women's Kinvara 3
RUN - Neutral
So much technology, so little shoe. We’ve redesigned the look of our most popular shoe, but kept the fit, feel and ride consistent with its predecessor. The upper now features FlexFilm™, a strong yet pliable material innovation that adapts to your foot and provides a lightweight, seamless feel. Inside the shoe, anatomically-contoured memory foam heel pods secure a perfect fit. In the midsole, ProGrid™ technology provides a unique blend of responsiveness and cushion, and the heel crashpad has been beveled for an even smoother ride as the runner transitions through the gait cycle. Finally, after examining wear patterns on hundreds of test shoes, the outsole was upgraded through the addition of placements of carbon rubber for enhanced durability. Weight: 6.7 oz. / 190 gm.

One of my favorite shoes

I own two pair of this running and they are the most comfortable running/workout shoe I own. Love the fun colors as well as the quality of the shoe. Very light weight. I am not a natural runner, I have to really work at every step...and these shoes definitely help me keep going.

Poorly sewn-returned product

I Use This Product For: Running, Casual Wear, Walking
Ordered this shoe in purple/pink/white
Returned item due to badly sewn. When I put them on, one shoe was different than the other as the top (where tongue sewn to base of lace area) was sloppy and caused the top (toe area) of shoe to droop inward/pucker in an unfavorable way. Causing the shoe to appear unattractive. Also. Upon returning item...shipping cost will be deducted from my refund as they do not do replacements, I would have to order again. Not ordering again, no matter how cute I think they are.

I Run: For fun, To set a personal best, To stay in shape
I Use This Product For: Running
I have high arches and have been struggling with plantar fasciitis for several years. I can't seem to find a shoe that gives me support while still being flexible and comfortable. I ran in high school and college, but as I've gotten older, my foot has changed and my shoe needs have changed. Not being able to run as much because of my injury has meant that I've gained weight, which worsens my injuries. So I really need a shoe to get me back on track. These shoes are the best I've worn so far. They are light and flexible, but still supportive. I've thought about trying minimalist shoes, but haven't made that leap. These shoes don't get in my way, but they are very comfortable. I love them!

After wearing the Kinvara 3 shoes, I got blisters on my ankles and they were very sore. I wore them several times with different socks and it still created the chafing. Even walking in them hurts because the top part of the shoe keeps digging into my ankle. I feel disappointed that I cannot wear these shoes.

I've been wearing various Saucony models for the past couple years after taking up running. This is a nice middle-of-the-road shoe that offers some support but not too much. For my purposes, it's great. I don't have knee pain and the shoe is comfortable and helps me maintain good form.
I've seen in other reviews the sizing has changed, but this is my first pair and I found them to be true-to-size.
Also, this was a great find on sale!

Good shoe. Very light but still sturdy and provides enough cushion from the ground for long runs. I usually order a 9.5 in running shoe and the shoe fits perfectly at 9.5. Only thing is I wish they had the color I wanted in my size, I tend to like more colorful shoes and the style I got was mostly white on the front (Teal and Orange)

I've sworn to saucony brand since I began running long distance 6 yrs ago. However I ordered this shoe, the current year to my 2 yr old kinvaras, and I was sorely disappointed the size was so off!!! In desperate need of a running shoe and no stores having this kinvaran in size needed, I bought some other random brand that seems to be working. But disappointed!

I loved my several k2 pairs... Ran and ran in them and have so far been only shoes I can run with with no pain in my knee and without issues with my Morton's neuroma! New model in principle is the same BUT the back seems to be either a bit higher or a bit more rigid which means I can no longer wear invisible socks for running without a blister :-(. When it gets warm I really like my invisible socks... For the rest, great style and fun colors for every taste. The upper seems to be improved (haven't worn them enough to be sure they won't start getting holes after 100 miles like the previous version. There remains a lot of room at the toes and front (unlike the trail version!) so great for my neuroma. Overall really happy except for the back!

Love this shoe, however even on the FIRST day of wearing it the material on the top half / front of the shoe started to peel back. Fits great, looks great, just seems not to be made too well which is a bummer because I love the shoe.

These shoes are so lightweight, you almost forget you have on shoes. Stylish and comfortable, they bend with your foot, providing secure footing while you run or walk. Awesome product. I recommend to all my running friends.

I have strange feet: I have a high arch but I'm a serious under pronator so it's very difficult to find shoes that are supportive. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend these shoes.

Kinvara 2 Fan Disappointed with Kinvara 3
PostedApril 18, 2013
I Use This Product For: Running, Casual Wear, Walking
In the past nine months I've gone through three pairs of Kinvara 2 shoes for work (it's a retail environment, cement floors, constantly on feet, lots of running/walking etc).
I loved Kinvara 2 so erroneously assumend I'd feel the same way about Kinvara 3. I bought two pairs and am very disappointed. The toe box is much narrower and the length is shorter (I ordered 1/2 size larger which is what worked in Kinvara 2 and should have ordered a whole size larger for Kinvara 3).
Even worse is that the "cush" factor is much less. After wearing them for just 4-5 hours my feet hurt -- this NEVER happened with the Kinvara 2. They are also not as breathable as their previous model. Sigh.
So I am disappointed and out of quite a bit of money for shoes that do not work for me. Even worse though is that because of the Kinvara 3 I am no longer a loyal Saucony customer. I think I'm going back to Addidas.
