Is the Kinvara 3 an improvement over the Kinvara 2? Thinking about getting the Kinvara 3.

I'd like to know too. I'll be picking up another pair of the 2s because they'll be on sale but when it comes time to get the 3s it'd be nice to know if they're still good

I personally like the 3 better. It has a much different upper, and a better fit in my opinion. The 2 felt a little lumpy to me (for a lack of a better word), while the 3 feels more like the Mirage (which I happen to like better). It's still fairly soft, though.

Agreed. The upper on the 3 is much smoother. I never had durability issues with the 1s or 2s (easily over 500 miles), but I know a lot of people did. It seems that Saucony made an effort to address this as well. I couldn't be happier with the 3s.
