How does one classify the Kinvara 2? It weighs less than some racing shoes, yet has enough cushioning for long runs and the daily grind. It has a small, 4mm heel-toe offset to encourage midfoot striking, yet has a very light heel cushioning unit for those who need it. Simply put, the Kinvara 2 is the neutral shoe choice when one seeks natural foot movement in a shoe that works great for any foot-strike, at any distance or any speed.
