I think the saucony kinvara is a great shoe for workouts
Up to Kinvara 13 they were good. But the more recent iterations (14 and 15 in my experience) are lower quality, clunkier.

Sometimes it's not necessarily the presence of a plate that is rough on the feet, but rather the composition of it. A full carbon plate is harsh and aggressive but a composite plate or TPU plastic plate can work great. Here's a few different options for you:
Adidas Takumi Sen: medium stack, plastic rods instead of carbon
Adidas Adios 9: non plated flat, lightweight and fast
Adidas EVO SL: similar to the Adios but more cushioning, no plate
Puma Deviate Nitro 4: composite plate with some super foam, excellent grip for wet conditions
ASICS Megablast: high stack shoe with super foam and no plate, super lightweight and bouncy
ASICS Magic Speed 5: top layer of super foam, plastic plate
Saucony Endorphin Pro 5: this one does have a full carbon plate but it's less aggressive than many others on the market and is pretty forgiving underfoot
HOKA Cielo Road: no plate, super foam, lower stack. Very good fast training shoe
This thread is specifically about not plated workout shoes. Half of these shoes have a plate or rods (which do the same thing as a plate)
Curious, why do you think the plate specifically was causing the injury?
