Saucony Kinvara 13 Review (2022 Release) - DOCTORS OF RUNNING Saucony Kinvara 13 Review (2022 Release) - DOCTORS OF RUNNING

In our lab, we weighed the Kinvara 14 to be 194 g (6.84 oz)—that’s an epic 74g (2.61 oz) of weight difference against the average weight of road running shoes at 268g (9.45 oz). By Chief/Founder Matt Klein, Senior Contributor David Salas, and Contributors Andrea Myers and Megan Flynn The Saucony Triumph 20 is an awesome-fitting daily trainer with great cushioning from top to bottom. We loved running in these shoes almost daily, and the lab tests confirmed that this is indeed the best daily trainer among the Saucony squad. For a more cu shioned ride, take the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2. And for longer distances, go for the NB FuelCell Rebel v2. If you're looking for an easy-day trainer, the Saucony Endorphin Shift 2 is a no-brainer. Kinvara 13 vs. 12: Nothing major Gone are the days when racing shoe choices were limited to barebones flats. Cushioned racers like the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 and Nike Zoom Fly 4 work equally well for high-speed runs and long-distance runs.The ride provides a unique balance of having enough cushion for shorter daily runs and being light enough for workouts. Most people used to current shoe design will find this shoe may work better as a workout shoe, especially if they are looking for a non-plated, flexible shoe. There is enough cushioning for me for runs up to 8 miles, but then I start to fatigue. Those used to more maximal shoe designs will want to take time to transition into this shoe as it requires more work from your body and especially the ankle. The sole and design make it a great workout shoe as it responds well to faster speeds. It is not the fastest shoe given the flexibility, but does quite well on tempo runs, fartleks and intervals. Most people may not be able to use this as a long run shoe due to this design not being as common, but for moderate to shorter length workouts it will do well. Technology name means nothing if you have no idea how it benefits you. Here we briefly explain the most common and popular features used in Saucony shoes. ISOFIT

Saucony Kinvara 13 Review | Tested by GearLab

Even after taking into consideration the durability-related issues, the New Balance Fuelcell Rebel V2 ( our review here) is one of our favorite speed trainers. It is incredibly cushioned and bouncy for its weight, and happens to be a suitable speed trainer that’s also very comfortable. Not even the insole has changed; the removable insole and Pwrrun+ (expanded PU) are the only layers of softness. You’ll need something more rugged to go off the beaten path and explore the forests and mountains. Here is an overview of the brand’s dedicated trail shoes.The Kinvara 13 from Saucony goes on a diet with its 6.8 oz (192 g) weight in a men's US 9. This is lighter than all of the previous Kinvara iterations! And contrary to the average of tempo running shoes (8.9 oz), it doesn't tip the scales. Saucony further simplified the Kinvara upper leaving a very lightweight and airy technical mesh to wrap the foot.
