A minimalist approach to shoe design has brought about this excellent running shoe; lightweight and responsive, it aids the foot in moving through the gait cycle as smoothly as possible while offering an incredible fit.After studying patterns on thousands of test shoes, the Kinvara TR features an external bedrock outsole which shields the foot from sharp edges and debris and multi-directional lugs for stability and traction no matter the terrain. There is Flexfilm technology in the upper to secure the foot on the platform throughout the gait cycle and a 4mm heel-to-toe offset encourages amore balanced running form.One reason for this impressive fit is the strategically placed memory foam in the heel which provides a heel pocket, thus contributing to the comfort. In addition to this, the shoe"s Hydrator lining provides next-to-skin comfort while wicking away moisture.The midsole consists of high abrasion EVA; lightweight with excellent cushioning and durability, while Saucony"s lightest version of Pro Grid is used in the Heel ProGrid Lite for extra responsiveness and added cushioning.
