Consensus Summary

The Saucony Triumph 23 offers a plush, cushioned ride that feels both stable and responsive, making it ideal for daily high-mileage runs. With a generous stack height and improved energy return, runners will appreciate the bounce and comfort over long distances. However, the shoe's tighter toebox may not suit those with wider feet, and its firmer foam lacks the explosive rebound found in some competitors. Overall, this shoe is perfect for those seeking a reliable, cushioned trainer, but faster-paced runners might find it lacking in responsiveness and breathability.

Pros

  • 38g lighter than Triumph 22
  • 67.6% heel energy return
  • Wide 98.9mm heel platform
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transition
  • Durable outsole after 66+ miles

Cons

  • Tight toebox may cause discomfort
  • Not responsive for fast-paced runs
  • Poor breathability in upper
  • Firmer foam lacks explosive rebound
  • Runs smaller than previous versions
