FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Kinvara series originated as a running shoe, the Kinvara 1 in its current lifestyle iteration is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For dedicated running, consider models specifically designed for performance running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the UK adult foot size chart. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided sizing guide. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The open mesh upper offers excellent breathability but is not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry conditions. In wet weather, your feet may get wet.

What is the main difference between the original Kinvara and this version?

This version, the Kinvara 1, returns to the lifestyle space with a retro tech aesthetic, featuring a more low-profile shape and updated graphics compared to its original minimalist running design from 2010.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Regular spot cleaning after wear can help maintain their appearance. A more thorough cleaning is recommended when they appear visibly dirty or start to develop odors, typically after several wears depending on usage conditions.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Kinvara 1 has a low-profile, minimalist design. While it provides a natural feel, it may not offer the substantial arch support found in more structured or stability-focused footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced breathability or odor

The open mesh is designed for breathability. If odor is an issue, ensure shoes are aired out properly after wear, use foot powders, and clean insoles if removable. Regular cleaning can also help.

Traction seems insufficient

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris, which can affect grip. The traction is optimized for dry to moderately damp surfaces; avoid using in extremely slippery conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability due to the open mesh upper.
  • Stylish retro-tech design appeals to fashion-conscious individuals.
  • Lightweight and low-profile for comfortable all-day wear.
  • Durable construction with a grippy rubber outsole.
  • Nods to the original minimalist design for a nostalgic feel.

Cons

  • May lack sufficient cushioning for intense athletic activities.
  • The minimalist design might not provide enough arch support for some users.
  • Open mesh can be less resistant to water and dirt.
  • Sizing might vary, requiring careful consideration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Kinvara 1 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for men and unisex wearers. The sizing is provided in UK adult foot sizes.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Kinvara 1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt from the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and structure.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
