Hurt.

The accidental Kinvara 11 pair I was wearing before this hurt the top of my feet constantly except when I was running. When I was running, the 11s were amazing.

These 14s don’t hurt the top of my feet, but the right one is grinding into the base of my outer ankle and it feels like someone is stabbing it with a row of needles.

Not a fun feeling.

Also, they already feel really worn down, as if I’ve already gone 500+ miles in them. Especially when running.

Sooooooo yeah. Not a fan.

The Kinvara 15s are out on the Saucony website, but the Running Room doesn’t have them yet. And though my sizing has been consistent for like the past eight iterations, I don’t want to risk ordering a pair of 15s without trying them on first to be sure of the size.

So I guess we’ll have to deal with pain for a bit.

No pain no gain, though, right?
