The Saucony Kinvara 5 running shoe is available for both men and women and provides a comfortable running experience for the neutral runner. If you have used any of the previous Kinvara shoe models, you will likely have been very impressed with them, as it has been an incredibly popular rand of shoes for Saucony. The good news is that the Kinvara 5 is an improvement on all of the previous versions.
The first thing you will notice about the Saucony Kinvara 5 is just how light they are. And this is even with the additional 35% more IBR that has been added to the version 5 shoe. The IBR rubber on the shoe is incredibly durable, so you will get a lot of wear and tear out of these shoes. But it also adds a lot of cushioning, so you can run on harder surfaces with ease as they absorb so much of the impact before it even reaches your feet.
A closer look at the Saucony Kinvara 5 running shoe
Low offset design
The Kinvara 5 comes with a low offset design that gives you a lot of control while you run, while still providing the comfort and support your feet need. They have a very responsive feel to them, so you can always feel you are under complete control whenever you are running in them.
Breathable uppers
If you are running or even walking any distance at all, you need to let your feet breathe. The Saucony Kinvara 5 has part-mesh upper that allows your feet to ventilate properly, so they will not feel hot and fatigued as you train.
The overlays are designed in such a way that they hold the shoe in shape and provide a great deal of support for your feet. So even if you are running longer distances you can feel that your feet are being held in place by the overlay design.
ProLock flexible fit technology
Saucony understands that everyone has different shape and size feet, so to make them suitable for a wider range of feet sizes, thet developed the ProLock flexible fit technology. This enables feet of all different shapes and sizes to fit into the shoe and allow the shoe to actually mold around the shape, rather than to try and squeeze it into a certain size and shape. This makes them very comfortable to wear, and also lets them slowly mold into the shape of your foot the more you wear them.
