I used to run in Kinvaras. Quick and comfy, but my calves hated me for it after each run. I now use Saucony Breakthru for road, as they are 8mm drop, rather than Kinvara's 4mm and they actually have a full rubber outsole (or at least did on the model I bought a couple of years ago) which means they'll last longer.

I got Kinvara 10s at the start of 2019, ran 550km, not all of it those shoes, and the heels are already starting to wear away on the inside. I also ended up with a hole in one of one of them when a sharp stone stuck into the foamy sole and cut right through. I haven't noticed water getting in, yet, though.
I really liked the shoes, and I don't know if that's such an unusually short lifespan for running shoes, but even so, could anyone recommend me something a bit more durable as a replacement?
