Which is lighter, the Saucony Kinvara 13 or the Kinvara 14?

The Kinvara 14, by 0.4 oz in a men's US 9 (6.8 oz vs 7.2 oz).

Do the Saucony Kinvara 13 and Kinvara 14 come in the same widths?

Yes. Both run in D, 2E for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Kinvara 13 carries over to the Kinvara 14.

How do the stack heights compare?

28.5 mm heel and 24.5 mm forefoot on the Saucony Kinvara 13, against 31 mm and 27 mm on the Kinvara 14. That is 2.5 mm more under the heel and 2.5 mm more under the forefoot. See the stack height note in the table above: the published figures changed convention mid-lineage.

Is the Kinvara 14 still the newest Kinvara?

No. The Kinvara 15 replaced it in 2024, so the Kinvara 14 now sells as an older model and usually below its $120 list price.
