All League Teams: PROS Lightweight Cushioned, yet responsive Versatile Smooth heel-to-toe transition Consistent ride to previous models CONS Lack of traction on wet surfaces
Short laces OUR VERDICT The Saucony Kinvara 11 feels similar to last year’s Kinvara 10 and retains many of the improvements that occurred as part of the shoe’s ten-year overhaul. The ride and soft responsiveness remain the same with the addition of a new midsole foam and a few premium details to the upper.
Also noticeable, is what Saucony eliminated from this model to continue streamlining the functionality of the Kinvara as a performance shoe. onemix mens shoes Updates include removal of the center shoe-lace eyelet closest to the toes, removal of the one-hit wonder “Achilles Pillows,” and slight modification to the mold of the outsole.
All in all, loyal Kinvarans will continue to enjoy the lightweight and highly-responsive ride that make this shoe the perfect daily trainer and marathon race shoe. WHERE TO BUY LOWEST PRICE $109 $110 $109 $110 $109 SHOE INFO

Kinvara 10 Previous model WHO IS IT FOR Neutral runners seeking a reliable daily trainer with unrivaled versatility and comfort; marathoners seeking the perfect lightweight race shoe that balances cushion with responsiveness to produce optimal performance over long distance. Help me choose Saucony Kinvara 11 Intro The Kinvara 11 runs true to size and provides a snug, but comfortable midfoot fit. This shoe gives runners the benefit of a 4mm heel-to-toe offset. I tested the Kinvaras on road and natural-surface paths; they performed well on both. I appreciate that the shallow ridges in the outsole do not pick up road debris or rocks.
The ride is soft but snappy — ideal for long runs, thresholds, and tempos. Kinvara’s die-hard fan base will be pleased to discover that this version stays true to the run-ready spirit of the shoe. They provide an expert balance of comfort and performance. Saucony Kinvara 11 First Impressions Saucony Kinvara 11 – Lateral Side
onemix men's running shoes reviews My first real test-run in the Kinvara 11 was 8 miles with hill sprints at the end – the perfect opportunity to get a feel for the shoe’s ride and performance at variable grades and speeds.
As usual, they required absolutely zero break-in. Nothing feels finer than a fresh pair of Kinvaras!
They felt as peppy, lightweight, and nimble as version 10, maybe even slightly more responsive as a result of the new midsole foam technology. Saucony Kinvara 11 Sole Unit
Saucony Kinvara 11 – Sole New to the Kinvara 11 is the PWRRUN foam midsole that replaces the EVA+ midsole of last year’s model. There is an additional 5.5 millimeters of foam in version 11 than version 10.
The
difference in feel is fairly negligible between the EVA+ and PWRRUN. What matters is that PWRRUN continues to deliver on the Kinvara promise by striking the perfect balance between responsiveness and lightweight cushion.
For better or for worse, very little injection-blown rubber is used in the outsole to keep the shoe’s weight down, leaving the foam midsole exposed to ground contact. Blown rubber is only placed in the most crucial locations under the big toe and under the lateral side of the heel.
The result is that wear is immediately noticeable after just the first run. However, Saucony claims that the PWRRUN foam is its most durable yet. Saucony continues to employ the chevron-pattern in the outsole to provide appropriate flexibility and distribute shock evenly across the sole.
On the Kinvara 11, the chevrons have a more beveled edge than years past which contributes to a more slippery ride in wet conditions. Guidance lines continue to extend through the center of the outsole from heel to toe, encouraging a straight and smooth transition from landing to toe-off.
The FORMFIT insole remains a staple in the Kinvara line and further enhances the contoured and comfortable fit of the shoe. The heel-to-toe offset is 4mm – the Kinvara standard.
