Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have fumbled through a few sub-minimalist shoes in my running shoe inventory - but I do not have a real minimalist shoe and looked for one
The Kinvara's became talk of the town off of one forum - It was a bigg hailstorm of anticipation, initial responses and testers verdicts
I finally got to see a pair of Kinvaras in a LRS - I was hunting for a LD runner (Got Asics DS-Gels there), but them Sauconys caught my eye
I listened into more criticisms, short term and long term testings - and it was mixed emotions overall, but a few things stood out overall
- This is a LIGHT shoe, it feels uber comfortable (broken-in feel without actually breaking them in) and it really complies with Minimalist ideas
For those NOT familiar with "minimalist" shoes, here's the main characteristics associated:
Weight (>8.0Oz @ size 9), lightweight materials application, low heel-toe drop (12mm or less) and an overall flexible structure
- As said, this shoe hands down hits all aspects on the head
Currently, I have clocked in 50M in these shoes with longest run being 8Milers
The wear has been very minimal (mainly osmoe of those midgit bumps on Rubber Inserts smoothed off)
They really are comfortable throughout the run and I feel such a stride difference when running in them
I have a mixed strike when normally running (Heel / Mid-foot) and these shoes I feel are more so mid-foot than heel strike
Even when walking in them, I feel like I'm doing a mid-foot step EVERYTIME - so cool
The upper material is cushy soft and flexible, its almost like wearing rugged socks
(I might want another pair just to wear without socks for the hotter weather)
These shoe will really cause a change for future running shoe design - and they solidified me pulling away from Nikes ALL together (FTW)
I will definitely consider getting more of them in future, possibly the up-and-cominbg Peregrines (Off-Road version of Kinvaras)
