    I have always ran in others from NIke, Hoka, Brooks and other various shoes that have caught my attention. I personally sub-pronate a lot to wear my shoes will be done after 200-300 miles because I rip through the side of my left pinky toe. If you look at any of my shoes there is only wear on the outside of the shoes. When I began wearing the Iso Truimph 5 I noticed after my first few runs the tread was hitting almost perfectly mid-strike and in the middle of my foot. Although these shoes maybe a little klunky they are perfect for any run from easy days to up tempo days and some track work. This shoe has opened view to a whole new brand that I never really respected. I would recommend this shoe to anyone.

    This shoe is great to go to if you're okay with some extra bulk. It has the comfort that Hokas brong but tend to last much longer in my experience. The 8mm drop keeps the legs a little healthier and the cushion keeps you from even feeling the ground. Only negative is that they're pretty ugly.

    This shoe has set a new standard in durability that all future shoes will be compared with. I'm your standard 65 mile a week, 7 min/mile neutral runner. This shoe isn't flashy and doesn't have a huge marketing campaign but it has already given me 300 miles with very few signs of wear. I already purchased a second pair for when they eventually do have to be retired.

    Very solid shoe. Enough cushion to be an everyday trainer but not that clunky. I land on the outside of my foot and tend to go through shoes quickly but I haven't had that issue with this shoe. Similar to the Guide but more durable upper. Unfortunately the inside of the shoe, where the tongue meets the laces, wears quickly. Other than that, the shoe has a lot to offer.

    Neutral mid-mileage masters runner. The fit and ride are great for what I'm doing now. Lots of general aerobic running with a couple of longer quality runs each week. This is a really nice shoe for knocking out a lot of miles and seems to be holding up exceptionally well after 300 miles. I expect I'll get 600+ out of it which is about 50% more than other shoes. It's snappy enough at quicker paces to feel natural on my long progression runs, tempos, and fartleks. I'd go with something lighter and firmer for more formal quality sessions. My only complaint is that the toebox is too breathable. Fine for a hot day (when the rest of the shoe is otherwise too hot) but even on mildly cool mornings my toes feel too cold.

    I've been a big fan of Saucony shoes for a few years and recently I put a dent in a pair of Ride Iso so I decided to try a high cushion shoe. Due to my success with the Ride and Solar Glide (TPU Midsole) I knew I had to give it a shot and I really enjoy it so far! I probably have 50ish miles on them so far and I enjoy the cushion it provides. The iso upper helps keep my foot locked down and prevent it from sliding and along with the straight last cut it fits very well around my arch. If you like the ride and want more cushioning and if you want a higher cushioned shoe with a breathable upper (best of the high cushion, neutral shoes), the Triumph is the way to go.

    Great underfoot feeling with a nice responsive, bouncy cushioning. Upper fits super well and has great lock down every with a perfect roomy toebox. I've really enjoyed my running in these shoes and only have a slight worry about the outsole. The outsole has worn a bit more than I would have expected for just about 230 miles. I have regular width feet and supinate a tiny bit and found the fit to be true to size with maybe a tad bit of extra room in the toes (nice room though).
