Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie them with a more relaxed tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the size or fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced bounce or energy return over time
The PWRRUN cushioning may have compressed slightly with use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as debris can affect performance. If significant loss of responsiveness is noted after considerable mileage, it may be time to consider replacement.
Heel slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely, utilizing the top eyelets for a better heel lock. Check that the 3D heel counter is properly engaged around your heel. If the issue persists, the shoe size or shape may not be compatible with your foot.
Upper material feels abrasive
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the internal seams or stitching are not causing irritation. Check that the tongue is properly positioned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Kinvara 16 comes ready to run out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for adjustable snugness across the midfoot. The 3D heel counter is designed to provide a secure lockdown without being overly restrictive.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Kinvara 16s:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and longevity, consider rotating your Kinvara 16s with another pair of running shoes, especially if you run frequently.
