Saucony Triumph 23 Trainers - Green - Size UK 10.5

The Triumph 23 is best suited for neutral runners who prioritize comfort and cushioning, particularly for daily training and long runs. It is not recommended for runners who require significant stability or motion control.

The Triumph 23 features an enhanced PWRRUN PB midsole with increased cushioning, offering a more plush and comfortable ride compared to some previous versions.

The heel drop is 10mm, with a 37mm stack height in the heel and 27mm in the forefoot.

While they offer a responsive feel, their primary design is for comfort during training. For dedicated racing, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe. However, they can perform well for runners who prefer a cushioned shoe even for faster paces or shorter distances.

The shoes feature a PWRRUN PB midsole, an SRS sockliner, and an XT-900 outsole. The construction is vegan and includes recycled materials.

A neutral gait typically means your foot rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. You can often tell by looking at the wear pattern on your old shoes – usually centered on the heel and the ball of the foot. Consulting a running specialist or watching gait analysis videos can also help.

The XT-900 outsole provides good durability and traction, but like most road running shoes, performance can be reduced on very wet surfaces. Exercise caution and consider specialized trail or wet-weather shoes if consistent wet running is a priority.

Ensure you have laced them correctly, not too tight in any one area. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or a wide-fit model if available.

The PWRRUN PB midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Check for any visible damage to the sole or midsole. Consistent cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, wet conditions can reduce grip. Run with caution on wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might impede traction.
