The Saucony Kinvara Pro is a tricky shoe to get a handle on. It has Kinvara in its name but very little in common with the established Kinvara line, which is known for being lightweight, low-drop and fairly minimalist.
It also has Pro in its name, like the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, one of the best carbon plate running shoes. However, despite having a carbon plate in its midsole, the Kinvara Pro isn’t really designed for smashing out PBs on race day. It’s billed as more of a max-stack daily trainer, but at $180/£200 it costs a lot more than other daily trainers.
