FAQs

Are the Saucony Kinvara 1 suitable for running?

The Kinvara 1 has origins as a running shoe but is now positioned with a retro-tech, lifestyle aesthetic. While they offer a low profile and breathability, they may lack the advanced cushioning and support required for serious or long-distance running compared to modern performance trainers.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Saucony Kinvara 1 trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the preferred method to protect the materials and construction.

What does 'retro tech aesthetic' mean for this shoe?

It refers to the design incorporating elements of older shoe styles (retro) with updated materials and construction techniques (tech). For the Kinvara 1, this means a look inspired by the original 2010 model but with modern updates like refined graphics and contemporary finishes.

What is the main difference between the original Kinvara and this version?

This Kinvara 1 is reintroduced for the lifestyle space with a focus on retro-tech aesthetic and a more refined, low-profile shape. While inspired by the original minimalist running shoe, it's presented as a casual option rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The grippy rubber outsole is designed for durability in everyday use, providing reliable traction for casual wear and light activities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner socks, or consider if the shoe's low-profile design is suitable for your foot shape. If the discomfort persists, consult the retailer for exchange options.

Mesh upper appears dirty.

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Use a soft brush for stubborn dirt, then wipe clean and allow to air dry.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole surface. If the wear is significant, consider replacement if the shoes are old.

Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your Kinvara 1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the mesh and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
