I LOVE Shoes!!!

 I've run a lot of road races, mainly half marathons (PR 1:48:29), one marathon (3:57:09) with a few shorter races including the Soldier Field 10 mile run (PR 1:20:38) and some St. Patty's day races. It's taken me a while to find that perfect running shoe for myself, and I highly recommend this shoe as long as you don't overpronate too much and you have a fairly neutral arch to your foot - the Saucony Kinvara.  They are on the kinvara 4, and I have owned 2 pairs of the kinvara, 2 pairs of the kinvara 2 and 3 pairs of the kinvara 3.  Obviously, I think it is a spectacular running shoe.  The total weight for women is 6.7 oz and for men is 7.7 oz, so it is a minimalist shoe.  If you need more support and stability this shoe is not for you.  It's nylon lined for moisture wicking so your feet stay dry.  The upper part of the shoe, while has many cool color combos, has a flex film material that is lightweight, yet strong.  The midsole has EVA which serves as a shock absorber and also has memory foam around the heels for comfort and to provide good fit.  The outsole, or bottom of the shoe, has been upgraded to premium carbon rubber, which increases durability and traction.  Overall, and outstanding shoe in my opinion.  I usually get them off of Kelly's Running Warehouse or Amazon.  They are usually a little less expensive on a website.  And when the new edition comes out, you can usually find the older edition for much less, unless you have the same size foot as everyone else, then your size will most definitely be out.  I also do my beachbody workouts in these shoes and they work spectacularly! I like them, I hope you do too!!
