Very happy with this shoe. It replaces another (nameless) brand who changed their fit and I happily had this shoe recommended.
Background: Large runner, size 13. Do triathlons.
I got my first pair on recommendation and am perfectly happy. They fit true to size and are comfortable. Cushioning is good. Quite happy. So all around positive, no complaints.
Last test was being a triathlete, I train without socks. Don’t judge, what I do saves me about 2 minutes in transitions and there’s no time to put on socks. So are there hot spots that cause rubbing? NO! Perfect. I know it’s not much but for other triathletes who do the same, no hot spots. I actually ordered a 2nd pair and similar, no hot spots.
So very happy with this shoe.

As a dedicated runner for over two decades, logging about 700 miles annually at a steady 9:30-10:30 minute per mile pace, I’ve always emphasized longevity and health in my running routine over speed and competition. This approach has led me through a diverse array of footwear from top brands like Nike, Brooks, Asics, and New Balance. Recently, I reached the 200-mile mark with the Saucony Men’s Triumph 21 and felt compelled to share my insights, especially in comparison to its predecessors and rivals.
The Triumph 21 showcases a notable improvement in Saucony’s already impressive lineup, particularly with its PWRRUN+ technology. The shoe’s sockliner provides exceptional shock absorption and stability, a critical factor for runners who, like me, value knee and ankle protection above all. The cushioning is noticeably thicker and more responsive than in the Endorphin Pro 2, offering a luxurious underfoot feel that pampers yet supports through long distances.
I opted to enhance this experience by replacing the original insole with an aftermarket version featuring robust arch support. This modification, while personal, significantly improved the overall support and comfort—something to consider if you’re facing similar biomechanical needs. Note that opting for a half size larger may be wise to accommodate thicker insoles without compromising fit.
Performance-wise, the Triumph 21 excels on flat surfaces such as treadmills and paved roads, providing a stable and cushioned ride. However, its prowess on asphalt doesn’t translate as well off-road, where the shoe’s generous cushioning can hinder stability on uneven terrain. This is something potential buyers should consider based on their primary running environments.
A word on purchasing during sales events like Prime Day: be wary of price inflations prior to supposed discounts. My experience revealed that the “discounted” price was nearly equivalent to the regular price post-hike—a common sales tactic that shoppers should be aware of.
Beyond the shoes, maintaining injury-free running isn’t solely about the gear. It’s equally crucial to engage in proper pre-run stretching, maintain correct running postures, and perform post-run stretches. These practices, combined with a healthy lifestyle, are the true backbone of sustainable running.
The Saucony Men’s Triumph 21 is a solid choice for runners who prioritize cushioning and stability. It’s particularly well-suited for road runners looking for a shoe that marries comfort with durability. As with any running shoe, personal preferences and specific needs play significant roles in the overall experience, but for those whose requirements align, the Triumph 21 is likely to be a rewarding investment.
Happy and healthy running to all!

I purchased a pair of these shoes after being measured at our local running store. I’ve been running for just 6 months as part of a large weight loss and fitness plan. I had nice shoes that were for running but this purchase changed it all. The shoes are springy and comfortable. They’ve taken time off my mile average and recovery is so much easier. I purchased this pair so I could alternate, as I run 6-7 days a week. Highly recommended for large toe box and optimal, but not excessive, cushioning.

After previously running in the Triumph 19 in seeing the thicker stack height I was a little concerned about the shoe. But I wanted more questioning as I feel my feet need these days. I’m pretty darn happy with these shoes. It is a different stack height but it’s not that hard for me to get used to and the cushioning is great. They are breathable and Saucony typically are and they are not really heavy so I would call them lightweight. So far I have 50 miles on the shoes and they seem good.

De lo mejor de la marca

Highly cushioned yet still responsive. With 200 miles of roadwork on these shoes the outsole looks untouched and there is no obvious breakdown in the midsole. Still feel great. Comfortable toe box and good heel lock in. Unmatched value in the class.

They arrived in a Fleet Feet box in perfect condition. I’m training for a half-marathon and have been using a few daily trainers that were fine but as I started getting 5-7 mile runs in my schedule I decided it was time for something more suited to longer runs. I saw this shoe recommended a lot for comfort and first time full marathoners so I figured it would perform well for a half marathon as well. They fit well and feel supportive throughout the shoe. True to size for me at 8.5 although I’m surprised that some people say they are a wide shoe, they seem slightly less wide than my daily trainers. So far I’ve only done about 15 miles in total on them between 3 runs and mostly in zone 2 but they make me feel light and tempt me to run faster. I’ll be wearing them on any of my longer Sunday runs from now on as well as for the half marathon. At $99 on sale thanks to being the previous year model and with multiple sizes and designs available I feel like these were well worth the money.

Love the comfort of the shoes. They are plush and have some rubbery bounce to them. They are highly cushioned, so one doesn’t feel much shock as they run. If one is a runner, these are great shoes for road or treadmill. I wouldn’t recommend them for Orange Theory as the stack height and scalloped heel make it difficult to wear these on the rowing machine. Moreover, the stack height also reduces stability for floor exercises.

As expected, and smooth and fast service

Muy buenos y de buena calidad. Para mi gusto, le faltó un poquito de amortiguación para correr, debido a la dureza del material de la entresuela, pero es en mi personal opinión, a otros les vendrá bien esa dureza, si los recomiendo.
Para el uso diario, muy buenos.

foot pain with this shoes, not recommend
i have a triumph bought 2 yrs ago and works great. this new one feels more soft, and a bit more nimble, but it lack of support.
standing with this shoes feels like my foot “sink” into mud, and the weight distribution is not properly designed, feels pain after wearing it more than 30min.
