Saucony Kinvara 13 Womens Running Shoes (Open Box)

If you’re looking for a running shoe without all of the extra padding, this is for you! I usually buy stability shoes but wanted to transition to neutral running shoes if I could so I thought these would be a good starting place since there isn’t much foam to risk a bad ankle sprain if I did roll my ankle. First run was about 4 miles and I loved it!! They are super lightweight and I had no issues even though all I know are stability shoes. The mesh upper is so comfortable and the wide width in my normal shoe size fit perfectly. Absolutely no injuries. I bought another pair in a different color since the Kinvara 14 has so much more padding and doesn’t look like it will provide that minimalist feel. This is only my second pair of sauconys I have ever tried but I haven’t been disappointed yet! Excited to keep running in these to see if I can build ankle strength and lower leg strength (thanks to the low stack height and heel to toe) and officially transition to neutral running shoes. I wouldn’t recommend these for standing for long periods of time but Saucony has plenty of heavily padded options that would work great for that! Did I mention the great price!!!!!???? Can’t beat $60 for a great pair of running shoes from a great brand! I also think these are really sharp looking shoes. The logo looks sharp on the sides and the laces are stretch to accommodate some foot movement. The toe box is also very roomy.
