I've been wearing Saucony running shoes for years, sometimes paying almost $100 for a pair. I wear them pretty hard every day, so I replace them every 6-8mos or so. This can get expensive, and -- also -- I travel a lot, and packing a pair of running shoes can make the difference between a carry-on and a checked bag. Then I found the Kineta Relays. I LOVE THEM! How can they cost only $35? I ordered a pair, fell in love instantly, and ordered three more pairs -- just in case they go up in price or disappear! They are like walking on clouds. They fit perfectly. [Note: Always order a larger size in running shoes.] They are so light and they collapse easily, so packing them is not a problem at all. These are my forever running shoes!These. When I picked up the box it felt empty, and I tore into it afraid of having no shoes inside. Both were there. These are ultra lightweight, stretchy fabric uppers, solid soles, magnificent foam insole. They provide the perfect amount of support without feeling mushy. I have a higher arch but I walk on my heels, and these fit excellent to give me the balance, support yet light weight I need to twist, stop and turn. The ankle is cut lower and more fitted to the ankle which was a surprise, but it for well. It might be too snug for anyone with swelling, but the fabric does stretch. These are definitely not trail runners, and I don't have confidence the soles would last for long distance runners. I don't run, but I'm on my feet chasing my kids. Definitely recommend for average use, walking, parks and every day wear. Just not waterproof.I have not re-read the description, but I will say these are not meant for running, long walks or safety support. I was expected a casual walking shoe like my Vionic Women's Agile FYN Sneaker - but the Saucony are squishy and soft. Very flimsy on the tops and sides - by flimsy I mean they squish/flatten very easily - I can push the toe completely flat with my pinky and no effort... there is no stiffness or thick material all the way around. ARE THESE SUPPOSE TO BE FLOOPY AND SOFT? Is it flimsy for "breathability" of the foot? They are pretty, and comfortable. But the I would not wear these on long walks. I haven't worn them to work for an 8 hour day yet, afraid of anything falling on my foot- even a stapler! I wear these on weekend errands.I love the Saucony Kineta. My old pair had a softer fabric on the top of the shoe and I liked that fabric better, but this will get me through.Shoe seems pretty comfortable. I usually wear a size 6 but always get a 61/2 in an athletic shoe. This size 61/2 fits more like a 6, so order up a size if in doubt. Shoe seems to look short and boxy compared to other saucony shoes I’ve had. But a nice lightweight shoe.Love this shoe very light weight. Nice for summer (not to hot). I put a lot of miles on this shoe, tread wears fast ( very soft bottom) this also is why shoe is very comfortable. I ordered 2 more pairs. I normally wear a 6 1/2 but needed a 7 fits great. I ordered another in same color as in picture and a navy pair also both very nice colors.I had bought other colors of the Kineta Relay for my mother. This fits her perfect she gets other sneaker brands in wide, she likes the cushion in the insoles.I like that they are light weight but you can’t take out inner sole out. I have the same exact sneaker in a different color and and put inserts in them with no problem with these I cant it makes the fit too tight and that even wearing them with a compression stockings which are a light sticking I’m on my feet for 12 hr shifts not a lot of support without the inserts.I really like them but not quite what I was expecting. I was expecting these Kineta Relays to be like the Kineta Relays I purchased in a store a year ago. These are a different, less breathable material. Visually they appeared the same from the pictures on Amazon... I guess it’s hard to see and compare materials in a picture. There’s nothing wrong with them... I was just expecting and wanting a more mesh-like material.I bought these runner specifically for the gym they are very nice and light weight and very comfortableJe me suis procuré ces souliers pour marcher en vacances en Grèce, et se sont de merveilleuses chaussures de marche.Extremely comfortable shoe. I bought them for a visit to Disney World and they are exceptionally light and fit great.Like the colour very comfortable
