txRUNNERgirl,
How many miles have you gotten out of a pair of Kinvaras? 200 from a previous poster sounds ridiculously low. I like to call it quits around 400 with most of my shoes.
I got about 450 out of my last pair before dropping them. on my second pair now. I love this shoe, it is the only combination of "low heel, low weight, and still mostly a trainer" on the market as far as I know.
Thanks for the timely and convincing review. Due to my wider than the typical runner's foot, I'll pick up a pair sooner rather than later in case the toe box gets reduced in version 2. If it's a hit, I'll stock my closet with another pair or two.
I don't know how many miles I have on them. I wear them at least 3 days a week, on my longer runs, since December (3 months). The outsole is wearing down, but other than that they feel good. I plan to get a new pair soon to break in and wear for the marathon (May 1).
It is decent. Up in the northland, the midsole gets very stiff below about 15 degrees F, and the upper is too thin to keep your feet warm in the winter, even with warm socks on. But it's great otherwise.
