I was looking for a highly cushioned, durable shoe with significant heel drop (on account on some achilles niggles).
My previous such shoe was the Saucony Ride 13, before that the Nike Epic React 2.
Both were fine shoes. The Triumph 20 is probably an upgrade over the Ride 13, with a much plusher, bouncier ride, a promised longer lifespan/durability on account of the TPU foam; and a comfier upper.
The Triumph may be slightly less "stable" than the Ride 13- my heels sometimes brush the inside of my calf as I bring the rear leg forwards.
It's easy to up the pace a bit in the Tri 20, because it gives so much back.
I've run only 40k or so, and I cannotjudge the durability yet.
They also look great in the "Palm gold" colourway.
I've love the last 3 Triumphs. They were very consistent in their fit and feel. But this version... wow! The midsole was completely different. Lighter, springier with much more energy return. Initially...i did NOT like it...it felt "unstable." But, after a few runs, my perception changed and i suddenly DID like the shoe:) So..buy it!
I'd never been a Saucony wearer until recently. I used to wear Nike Pegasus as my main daily trainer but heard that the Triumph had updated and evolved in it's 20th edition so gave it a try. I was not disappointed. This is a comfortable, cushioned, durable shoe. It's like your comfortable sofa, a favourite home cooked meal or that pair of jeans that just feels right - you may not rave about it everyday but it's always there for you when you need it. A shoe that will keep a place in my rotation.
Durability is a factor I highly value in running shoes. With the Saucony Triumph 20 one can attain such a quality. The Triumph 20s give great comfort, reliability, and durability. They are also greatly priced, one can purchase these and be expierencing the fullness of the Run for under 100$. Although they are not the most crazy stylish looking shoes and they don't perform greatly at sprints, they are dependable and inexpensive.
Very comfortable upper and nice, springy cushioning. Cannot imagine the need for more cushioning than this offers. I've accumulated no more than 100km in the shoes so far, but expect the durability to be high with the sole being TPU.
For easy runs, I find the Triumph 20 much nicer than past shoes including Saucony Ride 12 and Freedom 2, Nike Epic React and various older Asics models.
I do not expect the Triumph 20s to be great for intervals or high intensity run - a bit too soft for that. At a discounted price equivalent to 100USD, I think this was a great buy.
Took a little bit to break into them, they were tight in the toe box but after adjusting the laces a bit they feel much better.
Very solid shoe that lasts a long time. Won’t disappoint either. Probably isn’t the best at anything but is very good at everything. Would keep to easy runs + strides and tempo at fastest. Would recommend - 9/10.
I have loved this shoe. Great for everyday running but has enough get up and go that it can be used for tempo runs or slower track intervals.
Wasn't exactly what I was looking for after buying it. Price was really cheap compared to other shoes but I will say that if you are looking a hobby jog shoe than I definitely recommend this shoe. To put it simply, unlike other shoes I've had in the past I start to feel foot pain at around 7-9 miles into a run while wearing these shoes. For instance the other day I was going my LR and it was almost unbearable pain in them but for my easy 6 milers this shoe feels like a dream.
Awesome shoe. Great cushioning, comfort, energy return, fabrication, looks.
