Saucony  Triumph 23 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

Saucony changed my favorite Triumph 22 and added a more exposed midsole to the Triumph 23 This more exposed midsole causes the left shoe’s midsole to rub against the right shoe’s midsole as they pass in stride causing a stumble, or worse tripping!

They are very comfortable but the cushion fell apart very quickly. It was disintegrating on the sides. I was going to wait for the next version came out but it’s been awhile with no update and I needed new ones. Also the colors are not very interesting. White/light shoes show dirt immediately. The other colors were ugly. Bring back the bright colors!!!

Wanted to love this shoe, but I had to return due to forefoot pain. The high drop and lack of forefoot cushion just doesn’t work for me. Sizing is off. This shoe is long. I usually wear an 8.5 and had over a thumb width space in the front. To get a good lockdown, I had to cinch the laces super tight. Sizing down to an 8 helped but in the end I had to return. Because of pain. The run is also flat after about an hour. If the support didn’t bother me so much I would use the Hurricane. The Hurricanes cushion and drop felt amazing compared to this shoe. Maybe next year.

I personally love these. It is like walking on a cloud. It took me a few minutes to get used to the rocker bottom feeling but a lot of good sneakers are made like that these days and I actually like it now. These are lightweight and bouncy. For reference, my foot issues are: narrow heel, low volume foot, wide toe box, long toes, mild bunions. These hold my foot snuggly and beautifully and very comfortably. No heel slippage- yay!

I’ve logged about 50 miles on these already, and I’m very pleased with them. At first I was concerned about moving to the next model, my Triumph 22s have been very comfortable and fit my feet nicely. The 23s are just as good, if not better! They’re supportive and well cushioned without feeling like they’re slowing me down. My only complaint is that I wish Saucony would start offering their wide sizes in more colors.

I bought these a month ago and with over 100 miles on them they definitely have a bit more cushion on the inner side of the front of the shoe. I am a "neutral supinator" when I run and this shoe is definitely pushing me to over-supinate a bit. This is a good short to mid-distance shoe but for long distance road running it's not quite for me due to this inner cushion imbalance.

What the heck happened to the Triumph this year?? Saucony did something real weird with the fit this time. The first thing I noticed, when I opened the shoe box, was the strangely curvy shape of these. But everything else looked great -- nice rounded toe, super cushioned insole and outsole. Then, as soon as I walked about 15 seconds in the house, I realized my feet were curving outwards and something felt so weird in the fit. The outsides of my feet were feeling pressure. The toe box isn't as wide, in the Wide width, as the 22. Plus, it's tighter--fitting around the midfoot and doesn't have as much vertical room for the toes. They feel like they're pressing down on my big toe knuckles. My usual 7.5 was fine in length, so I guess they're still true to size. For the price of this 23, they should've left the Triumph's qualities the same. These look beautifully made, but they're just not the Ttriumph standard from the past years.

This is the second pair with a different color. They fit my feet perfectly with good space around the toes. As I experienced the pain of planter fasciitis, I really had to take care of the hight of arch and the protection of the heel. I can walk and go to gym with smiles when I wear Triumph 23.

Feels great! Good cushion for long runs and I appreciate the high stack. Helps with my bum achilles. Will consider buying again! I also got the Endorphin 4, but I'll probably run my marathon with these because they feel that good.

Very comfortable shoe, good cushioning - no complaints there. However, the quality of the sole is terrible - it started coming off in chunks after only on a few wears (on pavement). For an expensive shoe, I was very disappointed.
