They are pretty similar. Kinvaras are slightly lighter but there's not much in it. I do prefer the Kinvara for racing and fast training but the 890s last longer so I tend to wear them for general training and long runs. I also sometimes train in Brooks Defyance.
890s are roomier in toe box (good for my toddler-shaped feet) while nice and snug around the heel. I actually preferred the Kinvara 2, which had more space in the toe box (didn't get on with the 3s because of more structured front bit) but you can't get them any more. The 4s are somewhere in between the two and the uppers on my current pair are starting to wear through a bit but the soles are still fine.
Gutted looking at getting a Garmin 220 (if the car passes it's MOT relatively cheaply today) and now I've seen this thread and missed out on the 20% discount I'm always going to feel I have overpaid
Yep, in fairness I was looking at buying from Amazon till I saw this thread which also lists the 10% discount so I will still be saving more than I would have an hour ago. But still it's the bargain I could have had.
Have ordered from sportshoes.com with 10% discount. Please no-one add any better discount codes to this thread for a few days, don't want to feel I've overpaid twice

Need it tonight so that would be awesome Cheers.... that will save me around £70 if it works, THANKS your are a star.
If anyone else does have a different code, could you please stick it on here as well, in case the 20% gets grumpy with me
Thanks JT141 you saved me a fortune. I'm a very, very happy woman. £280 for a Garmin Fenix 2 with the posh HRM. That's a seriously good price.
cheers for this booktrunk and JT41
just picked up a FR620 with HRM for £230 saving £58 ... bye bye knackered old 305
Cool
Code is still valid for a couple of days.
Just got 20% off some new shoes for Mrs JR and myself
A massive thanks to JT141, saw what booktrunk had done and jumped in for a Fenix2!!!! Crazy discount!
;-)
Thanks JT141, just saved me a fair few pounds on a new pair of Asics.
What an excellent thread. I bet booktrunk and JT141 have been planted on the forum by sportsshoes to get us all over there.
I have added to my shoe stash with a spare pair each of NB890 and Saucony Kinvara 4.

Arghhh, I must stop looking at threads with discount vouchers!
Just saved myself £18:90 on a pair of Brooks Adrenalin GTS 14 shoes which means they are exactly the same price as my left over 'Birthday Money'
Was on the verge of paying not much less for the 220 elsewhere until I saw this thread. Delighted with the money off!

Startfitness had a code for 20% off Garmin code is 'Garmin20'. Not sure if still on going but only got the email this week so may be worth a try.
Oh ok, sorry mate. I use them a lot and generally find them well priced.
