UPPER
It is made with recyclable materials. With Saucony’s Formfit technology, to give a better grip. Developed with a single layer mesh, which is breathable. What should allow to keep the foot dry, since it should expel the humidity outside.
MIDSOLE
The typical Saucony PWRRUN foam is used in this shoe. With which we ensure good cushioning. It includes a fairly wide insole, which should give us a plus of damping, and reaction in and thrust. It is the PWRRUN+, insole already used in other shoes by Saucony. They say that firmly developed to last many kilometers.
SOLE
A sole directly shows the articulated EVA foam, to which they have added a minimum reinforcement of XT900 rubber in the areas of greatest wear. From the brand indicate that they are designed to withstand wear well. Despite the foam being in contact with the ground, they say it has a good grip on dry and wet surfaces.
SAUCONY KINVARA 14: CONCLUSIONS
The first thing is to say that it loses weight, which really makes it a faster shoe. It also incorporates a good cushioning like the PWRRUN which should bring with it, a well-cushioned and comfortable shoe.
That if, with its low drop of 4mm, better for runners with good running technique. Recommended for fast training, or short or medium distance races. Although if you have good technique and you dare, you can go to longer distances. It remains to be seen how the sole will withstand the direct contact of the foam with the ground.
The Kinvara 14 are recommended for runners not very heavy, better light, and with good technique. Runners with a neutral footprint and looking for a light shoe and fast running.
