Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Triumph 23 is a high-end neutral running shoe designed for adult male runners seeking extended comfort on daily runs and longer distances. Its key benefit is the plush, responsive cushioning provided by the PWRRUN PB midsole and SRS sockliner, ensuring smooth transitions and pushing comfort zones. A potential caveat is that it is geared towards neutral runners, and may not offer sufficient support for those who overpronate.

FAQs
Who is the Saucony Triumph 23 designed for?
The Triumph 23 is designed for adult male runners seeking a high-end neutral running shoe for daily training, long runs, and those who prioritize plush cushioning and comfort.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoe features Saucony's PWRRUN PB midsole, which is a soft, light, and responsive foam that has been enhanced with more cushioning in this version.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the extensive cushioning and responsive ride make it well-suited for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who prefer a plush feel over long distances.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the XT-900 outsole offers durability and some grip, the Triumph 23 is primarily designed for road running. It can handle light, well-maintained trails but is not optimized for technical or muddy terrain.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Triumph 23 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm (37mm in the heel and 27mm in the forefoot).
Does this shoe offer pronation support?
No, the Triumph 23 is a neutral running shoe and does not include features for pronation control. Runners who overpronate may need a stability shoe.
What does SRS stand for in the sockliner?
SRS stands for Super-Responsive Sockliner, designed to provide immediate step-in comfort and an enhanced feel.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, this model is vegan and contains recycled materials, reflecting Saucony's commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during runs
This could be due to the outsole rubbing against certain surfaces or small debris trapped in the tread. Ensure the outsole is clean. If the noise persists and is internal, it might indicate a manufacturing defect; contact customer support.
Slight discomfort in the arch
The SRS sockliner provides substantial step-in comfort, but some runners might need time to adapt. If discomfort persists after a few runs, consider if a neutral shoe is suitable for your gait or if an orthotic insole might be needed.
Reduced cushioning over time
While PWRRUN PB is durable, cushioning does degrade with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the typical lifespan of running shoes (300-500 miles). Rotate with another pair if possible.
Upper feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct shoe size; if it consistently feels wrong, consider trying a half-size up or down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Saucony Triumph 23 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit. It is recommended to try them on before your first run to confirm comfort.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed as a neutral running shoe, compatible with most running gaits. It is suitable for road running and can handle light trail use due to its durable outsole. It is not specifically designed for trail-specific technicalities or for runners needing significant pronation support.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can warp the shape and materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed or stored in a way that could deform them.
