FAQs
Is the Kinvara 16 suitable for flat feet?
It is a neutral trainer, so it does not contain specific arch-support structures. It is best to consult a professional gait analysis if you have specific biomechanical needs.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
While capable, the Kinvara 16 is primarily categorized as an everyday trainer. Many runners prefer it for training, while reserving more specialized carbon-plated shoes for race day.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Kinvara 16 is engineered to be lightweight, though exact weight varies by size.
How should I clean the nylon upper?
Use a soft brush and mild soap with cold water. Do not put them in the washing machine or dryer.
Does this shoe provide stability?
No, the Kinvara series is designed for neutral runners. It lacks the medial posting found in stability shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
The Kinvara 16 is a neutral shoe; if you require arch support, consider swapping the stock insole for an orthotic insert.
Upper feels loose or insecure
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure the heel collar against your ankle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally lightweight feel
- High energy return from PWRRUN foam

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kinvara 16s, avoid using them for heavy gym activity or trail running, as the lightweight nylon upper is specialized for road running. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid placing them on heaters or in direct sunlight, which can cause the foam to degrade or the materials to warp. Replace the shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight, to ensure the PWRRUN foam maintains its integrity.
