Shoe Review: Saucony Kinvara 13
If you liked the Kinvara at any point over the past 12 years, you’re bound to like the Kinvara 13. It’s light, it’s comfortable and it’s versatile enough to do almost anything.
Saucony Kinvara 13
Features
The Saucony Kinvara 13 is lighter than ever for a fast, plateless run.
The Kinvara legacy continues. Known for being lightweight and fast, this shoe is great for speedwork but still has enough underfoot for everyday training and racing. This is a nimble and flexible shoe, partially because it does not have a rigid carbon plate.
Saucony beveled the midsole and streamlined the midfoot for a super smooth and super-fast ride. The light and responsive PWRRUN cushioning adds spring to your run and lets you pick up the pace. Plus, there is durable XT-900 rubber in strategic high-wear areas for traction.
Saucony changed the upper, streamlining it to give you a barely-there feel. The enhanced fit and breathability can be credited to the engineered mono mesh upper that’s more comfortable and accommodates more foot shapes.
Flexible and fast, the Saucony Kinvara 13 will be your new go-to shoe.

What’s New
The major change for the Kinvara 13 is in the upper. Saucony streamlined it, removing a lot of the overlays to give it a better fit and barely-there feel. The result is the lightest version of the Kinvara ever. Plus, this upper fits a bit wider than the Kinvara 12 to accommodate more foot types.
Who It’s Best For
If you are looking for a lightweight, neutral running shoe, the Saucony Kinvara 13 is a great choice. This is also a fast option for those who do not like the feel or price tag of carbon-plated shoes.
Why You’ll Love It
You will love that the Saucony Kinvara 13 is lightweight, flexible and fast. You can pick up the pace as well as comfortably log your long runs in this shoe.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Comfortable bargain.
I have been through a couple pairs of Kinvara 13 and have several others in rotation. They are super comfortable. They are one of the shoes that disappear on your feet because they are seemingly weightless and fit me so well. You don’t get a lot of miles because you are running on midsole but especially now that they are very inexpensive it is a fine trade off.
