Testers continued to rave about the secure but comfortable upper. Even for quick direction and speed changes, the sole responds well and the upper continues to hold the foot to the platform well. The lightweight and responsive sole make the Saucony Kinvara 10 a great racer/trainer that can handle any speed. The top sole allows athletes to not only pick up the speed but maintain it over long and short distances. The upper and sole disappear off the foot, allowing runners to focus on their run. Testers reported reaching for the Saucony Kinvara 10 for races, intervals, easy runs, and long runs. The Saucony Kinvara 10 is a very versatile and speedy shoe. Testers reported the Everun helps maintain the responsive feel over the course of long and short miles alike. This contributes to being able to pick up the pace easily both from the bounce of the midsole as well as the lightweight feel of the Saucony Kinvara 10.

While the sole may not be as responsive as full TPU soled shoes, the EVA midsole helps provide a far lighter ride. Testers noted the shoe does well at both high and low speeds with the balance of the two cushioning systems. The combination of Everun and EVA+ make for a responsive and mixed soft/firm ride depending on the pace. The sole also requires no break-in period and testers loved that the cushioning and comfort remained throughout the life of the Saucony Kinvara 10. The cushioning system, Everun and EVA+ provide a comfortable and supportive experience at a variety of speeds. The Saucony Kinvara 10, despite being one of the lighter shoes in this review, is a versatile lightweight trainer that can be used for a variety of runs. The heel pods, the flex film overlays and seamless upper all make for a top that completely disappears when the runs start. The heel pods in the rearfoot, although somewhat odd at first, hold the foot comfortably. No break-in period needed for the fit or feel. One tester was able to run almost all his miles sockless in the Saucony Kinvara 10 without any hotspots.

Testers were impressed with how comfortable the shoe fit and felt against the skin both with and without socks. ComfortĪ completely seamless upper with a contoured insole makes the Saucony Kinvara 10 extremely comfortable from the initial step in and onward. Internal heel pods in the rear portion of the upper hold the foot in place with a flexible and forgiving heel counter. The Saucony Kinvara 10 fits true to size with a traditional lacing system that interacts well with the upper. The flex film overlays stretch very well with the foot and testers loved that their feet were still held well. All testers loved the fit regardless of their foot shape or size.
