I have a pair of original Kinvaras that I loved for about 400 miles but I needed to retire them after experiencing some knee problems. The EVA midsole broke down and the feel of the shoe changed.<br /><br />I tried the Kinvara 2's a couple of times (as recently as last weekend) and didn't like the way they moved with my foot. I also felt that the toe box was a bit too narrow, even after moving up 1/2 size. That's an unfortunate trait I've found with Sauconys. <br /><br />I've always been a fan of Brooks but I do not like the Pure line. The Connect felt like a vice on my instep. The Flow was better but I felt that the front and back of the shoe were too decoupled. It was similar to my criticism of the Ravennas. The Cadence was okay but still too tight in the midfoot. The Grit was okay but if I want a minimal trail shoe I'll probably look at Inov-8 or the New Balance MT line.<br /><br />Saucony is coming out with the Kinvara 3's in early summer and they are supposedly a big improvement over the 2's, with a wider toebox. I'll certainly try them out when they hit the stores.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-49218354294360267032012-02-27T20:39:55.862-05:002012-02-27T20:39:55.862-05:00New runner here, started in Dec.
