Saucony Kinvara 2 gear reviews

Great shoe for short road races. Comfortable sockless, so I've enjoyed using it for sprint tri races. For me, not the best shoe for longer distance training. good compromise between a racing flat and light-weight trainer.

Like the shoes and will buy another pair.

Over all I've been very happy with this shoe. I am a fore foot striker and had been using a shoe with a substantial wedge to it. These shoes are much quicker and lighter than my last pair. The ride is fairly cushy and there is really no support if you pronate.

I would recommend these if you are looking to get into a more minimalist shoe but not yet ready for FiveFingers or a more slipper like shoe (such as the New Balance Minimus).

The only weakness on these shoes is the sole life. I've got about 200+ miles on them and the soles seem to be taking a pretty good beating. I'll have to see when they get to 500 miles.

UPDATE: These shoes do wear out pretty fast, especially compared to the Mizuno Wave's I used to run in. I got about 450 miles before I had to retire them. Got a new orange pair though and I love them just as much.

So far I am pleased with it and will have it in my rotation.

So far I am very happy with this shoe. This is my fist minimalist type shoe, so I am still working them into my shoe rotation.

As I have progressed through my running and my technique has improved I wanted a lighter shoe that still fit great and felt great. The Kinvara 2 fit the bill for me.
