Saucony Triumph 23

Saucony's premium max-cushion neutral trainer, notable for moving to a full PEBA-based PWRRUN PB midsole — race-shoe foam in a plush daily package. It delivers a soft, bouncy ride for long runs and recovery days while staying reasonably light for its stack. One of the more energetic plush trainers on the market.

Who it's for

Reach for the Saucony Triumph 23 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
