As mentioned in my previous blog, here is a small review of Saucony new Kinvara running shoe. If you don’t already know the Kinvara is part of Saucony’s minimalist range. Having done some research into barefoot running and the benefits pitfalls this was my first minimalist shoe, but to be honest it was exactly the same weight and feel as a normal race shoe. If you are looking to try barefoot running the Kinvara is a great starting point, it was an extremely comfortable shoe. The ride felt very good and it had enough cushioning to not zap the legs too quickly.
I walked around in the shoe on the Saturday and felt great wearing it on the Sunday for the race. The weather was damp but I felt that the shoe gave me enough grip on the wettest sections of the course. I will use the shoe now as my main race show and for the odd session where I want the feel of something lighter and a bit quicker. For your information the shoe weight is 218g.

The colours you see in the picture are not available in the UK I was lucky enough to get this pair as a freebie. If you want more advice regarding barefoot running or heading in that direction just pop into the store and we will be happy to guide you to make the right choice.
