What I Say:
I have previously reviewed the Kinvara 5 singing it's
praises without reservation. But I was fortunate to access the newest
incarnation of the Kinvara 5.0, the ViZiGLO Orange style. The shoe remains my
"go to" shoe for all my longer races, just incredible form, fit and
comfort. But with this bright design I feel safer on my evening runs and, well,
just all that more awesome running along in these shoes.
Since my early experiences with the Kinvara 2.0 I have
been a complete fan, wearing each successive generation with equal pleasre. The
version 5.0 does not disappoint combining a light, airy shoe with a flexible
but not squishy nicely firm ride. While I run in various shoes from other
vendors with similar positive feelings, I seem to always return to the Kinvara
when race day approaches. This Sunday I will be donning these beauties when I
run in the City Of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh. Always the fashionista I will also
be wearing Saucony shorts and top.
The Saucony Kinvara 5.0: Highly Recommended.
