Saucony Kinvara 10 Running Shoes

Lightweight cushioning for chasing PRs. For those working hard to achieve their goals, the lightweight Kinvara 10 has been whittled to be exactly what one needs to be efficient, go fast, chase PRs, and break professional barriers.

The History of the Saucony Kinvara

In 2008, Chris Mahoney (Saucony's Vice President of design) and Linsey Corbin (Seven-time Ironman Champion, and Saucony Athlete) met to re-imagine what a running shoe could be. Defying industry norms and identifying the desire for a more simplified running experience, the Kinvara was born. No longer separate entities, the ground-breaking Kinvara seamlessly integrated responsive performance and lightweight stability together in one shoe and introduced a 4mm offset to the market; highlighting the importance of underfoot geometry to the foot/shoe relationship, Saucony transformed the way the foot moved through the gait cycle focussing on every aspect of the runner's stride. A year later, Saucony gifted Corbin with the newly developed (soon to become iconic) neon-orange Kinvaras. Sprinting through the final two miles of Palani Hill, the shoes that had enabled Corbin to fly through a leg-burning 112-mile bike stage and 26.2-mile marathon, crossed the finish line with Corbin winning the final podium position of the Ironman World Championships Hawaii 2009. A decade on, the award-winning Kinvara continues to resonate with runners everywhere representing the innovative and ongoing product philosophy of the Saucony brand. To celebrate the game-changing Kinvara, the special edition 10th generation Kinvara will commemorate the shoe's original iconic design and colorway that took Linsey Corbin over the finish line of the Ironman World Championships and re-defined the benchmark of long-distance racing shoes.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Minimal, engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Lightweight FLEXFILM overlays wrap the foot to provide structure and support. Hot melted onto the upper to minimise stitching, they supply an irritation-free fit; because we recognise how rubbing and blisters can ruin your day. This exoskeletal frame tightens around your foot as you pull the laces, resulting in a secure fit and soft support. An internal strap system embraces the midfoot, uniting with a woven heel support to promote complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, uninterrupted strides.

EVA+ Midsole

Better connecting you to your run, the Saucony Kinvara 10 features a FORMFIT Performance contoured footbed; a dynamic 3D cradle to fit, cushion, and support a range of foot shapes and loading patterns so that no matter how your foot presses down the Kinvara 10 will you hug you back every step of the way. Engineered with 3 layers of foam, each with a distinct mechanical property that interacts with your unique anatomy and stride. The top layer consists of a soft sockliner; conforming to the shape of your foot the top layer offers customized comfort and an exact contact surface area along your entire foot. The EVERUN topsole offers a lively, durable layer that adapts to your unique pressure pattern to ensure a smooth ride. The lower layer of the midsole cradles and supports the natural foot shape, absorbing impact to reduce fatigue whilst giving you a bounce back in every step. Equipped with Saucony's EVERUN Topsole construction, the midsole delivers 83% more energy return offering a resilient and responsive ride. The Topsole technology places the cushioning closer to the foot offering direct, continuous contact throughout an entire run. A full-length EVA+ platform resides in the midsole to supply soft and lightweight cushioning, sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces.

Tri- Flex Outsole

A Tri-Flex, XT-900 rubber outsole completes the Kinvara 10, the outsole formation delivers more ground contact and optimal flexibility at the toe-off, benefitting the wearer with new levels of traction, comfort and control. Supplying long-wearing and sticky grip on every road the Kinvara 10 can take you anywhere. The chevron tread pattern lets the sole easily flex, so you get fluid, unhindered movement. The tuning fork-shaped outsole aids quick transitions from landing to take-off creating guidance lines for a smooth gait cycle. For the athletes who crave adaptive support and bounce, choose the Saucony Kinvara 10.
