Im looking into the kinvara over getting the ride for the third time in a row. I love the ride it can just be a tiny bit too bulky on occasion. The beneifts Ie seen that turned me onto the Kinvara is that itś got a lower heel to toe drop and it's much lighter and has a thinner contruction which I like. Only concern I have is that it won't handle long runs and daily training. I would train 6 times a week with long runs upwards of 10miles, does anybody have the shoe and can tell me it won't just fall apart after 200 miles?

I have been wearing mine daily since Aug 20. They currently have 789 miles and they haven’t fallen apart.

I have a pair of the Kinvara 7s. I have 595 miles on them and they are still fine. I have rotated them out of everyday wear at this point and only wear them occasionally.

It's my regular trainer / "racing" (given my speed these days) shoe for distances > 10km. One my second pair of 8s, and did/should get 300-350 mi out of each pair. I've been wearing them since Version 2 and will agree-- the shoe has gotten more Hoka-like, but-- as you mentioned-- its features fit me well. (166-172 lb w/stride where I use a neutral, light-ish shoe)
