Technology

4MM

Saucony 4mm Technology

Shoes with a 4mm heel-to-toe offset deliver a more natural ride, letting your feet and body do more work while relying less on the shoes’ cushioning and stability features.

EVERUN

Saucony EVERUN Technology

A breakthrough in cushioning. Livelier and more responsive, with smoother landings and stronger takeoff.

FLEXFILM

Saucony Flexfilm Technology

A strong, lightweight material is melded to the upper, which allows for fewer layers in the shoe. The result is a seamless, flexible feel.

Cushioning

The underfoot feel and amount of impact protection provided by the compressing materials between the foot and running surface.

Support

The level of pronation control built into the shoe. Pronation is the inward rolling of the ankle through the gait cycle.

Offset

The difference in height between the heel thickness and forefoot thickness of the shoe.

Kinvara 9

Jan 22, 2019
I've been running on the Kinvara 9 for 3 years and I find them comfortable without have to wear socks. But I originally bought these for their light weight. It's the perfect sho for me.

Just like the 5s

Jan 21, 2019
I've put 30 miles on these shoes and they fit and feel like the Kinvara 5 but with a slightly wider toe box. Something between a wide and regular width. The feel is a little softer and snappier than previous models probably because the Everrun which you really feel running on hard surfaces. Upper material is much more durable than I thought it was going to be. Should be a 400-500 mile shoe.

decent shoe

Jan 20, 2019
comfortable fit, didn't even have to take my time breaking the shoes in, but there are some small tears on the outside of the toebox already and I've put less than 30 miles on the shoes

Love the Kinvara!

Jan 18, 2019
I'm 6'2" 175 lbs. with high arches and run 25-55 miles weekly. I first ran in the Kinvara 5 and absolutely loved that shoe. The Kinvara 8 was the next version I ran in and my first with the Everrun material. I wasn't thrilled at first as it had less road feel and was slightly heavier but the more I ran in it the more I enjoyed the new version. Kinvara 9 which I just purchased is slightly lighter than version 8 and the upper was changed to help reduce the weight and make it more breathable. With my high arches I feel the upper on this version has slightly less volume to accommodate my feet than the 8. I was concerned that I might have some issues but after 90 miles, a half marathon and a long run of 15 miles I have had no issues with this version despite the upper feeling slightly smaller. The Kinvara is my favorite shoe that does everything well. It's light, cushioned and is my go to shoe for half and full marathon distance racing. I have purchased three pairs of the Kinvara 9. I would give this shoe 4.5 stars. The half star reduction is I feel the Kinvara 8 was slightly more comfortable on my foot.

The shoe is just too wide and too heavy

Jan 16, 2019
Coming from my worn out LEGENDARY saucony virrata 2 (make virrata 3 please, don't ignore 0 drop lovers, the shoe fitted me like a glove). The length was fine but the width was too wide and the fit felt too loose as if my feet felt like they are about to come off the shoes, the shoe feels too heavy and too supportive, not a good feeling, as if they were a standard dress shoes. Last but not least, its certainly the worst looking saucony shoe i have tried. Needless to say, i returned them. I am disappointed. I did not expect a virrata 2, knowing k9 is 4mm drop and weigh more, but i expected to get used to wearing something closer to how virrata 2 feels as these are the lightest size 15 us flagship shoes saucony offer. Its not the case. My search continues.
