The Kinvara 16 looked promising. I can only run in a 4 mm drop, which are hard to find so it's always nice to see Saucony continuing to support that drop range with their Kinvara. Lightweight, a bit of arch support, and a 7.5 fit like a 7.5. Unfortunately after wearing it just a couple times, I developed a very severe blister on the outside edge of my big toe. NEVER had this happen before in all my 50 years of running. I've worn many variations of the Kinvara in years past with no blister issues. This 16 version has a very different material on the upper, though. When you feel it on the inside of the shoe near the toes, it has a lot of ridges and bumps, which obviously is what caused the blister from rubbing against that material. Surprised Saucony made a shoe like this because their products are usually well designed and made. I hope they sort this out and change the fabric. It's a shame because other than that, it is a good shoe. Thank you ZAPPOS for making these unfortunate returns so easy to do. YOU guys are the BEST!

As far as I'm aware this is the only shoe without excessive cushion or stackheight. I can't wear shoes with ridiculous stackheights and cushion so I've been wearing this. Thank you Saucony
Perfect fit: This is the only sneaker I have bought that worked well for me and my runs. I have not had to make any adjustments in terms of cushion or support. This provides all I need, is light and usually I can find great color combinations. My favorite so far has been the NYC Marathon combo. I have wide feet and this has been my go to forever! Love my Kinvaras!
Love these shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and shoes are always a challenge. These have been comfortable and supportive, so much so I have already started wearing the nubs off the soles.
These aren't as low profile as my last saucony pair which worked better to cross over with workouts at Crossfit but they are super comfortable for running!
Super comfortable and light weight: I bought these about a month ago, and I'm so happy with them! I absolutely love the color, how lightweight they are, and how cushioned and comfortable they feel inside. They're easily one of my favorite pairs of sneakers right now. Highly recommend!
So lightweight! I have been running in Kinvaras for about 5 years now and I absolutely love them. They are lightweight and have a sizeable toe box which helps on long runs when feet start to spread out a bit.
I think I found my new favorite shoe! I think I found my new favorite shoe! They are very comfotable and I feel they are the perfect level of cushion for me. I have smaller feet and don't have any problem with the toe box being too tight/small.
Great running shoe! Kinvaras are my favorite running shoes. This is probably my 7th pair at the least.
The shoe is softer than previous models, but that is not the issue. The issue is the terrible customer service at Zappos, and the changed return policy in which they now hold your item hostage for 30 days before they issue your refund.
