Review: Saucony Kinvara Running Shoe

[KnottedYet]

Even if I can get a shoe that's wide enough across the metatarsal arch and narrow enough in the heel - rare as that is - even on most of those, the outsides of my first and fifth toes rub right at the end of the nail.

So if the toe box isn't really square, if a shoe is big enough, I wind up with this enormous triangle of empty clown shoe ahead of my second through fourth toes.

Sounds like you've got dramatic Roman feet, like me. I'd suggest trying the Saucony Kinvara in the Men's sizes. I find it easier to run in than even my beloved Chacos.

(the Women's Kinvara rubbed my toes just like you describe)

The Kinvara did NOT give the clown-shoe effect, which I have had in just about every other running shoe I've ever tried.

(I luuuuuv my new shoes, can you tell? )

ETA: the Chaco "Yampa" sole is slightly lighter than the "Uniweep" sole. REI has sandals with each sole option. I have Z2 wides with Yampa soles that are quite nice to run in.
