FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The Triumph 23 GTX is designed for road running and can handle light trails. Its outsole offers versatility, but for technical trails with significant mud, rocks, or roots, a more specialized trail running shoe might be more appropriate.

How do I clean my GORE-TEX shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit?

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology provides excellent waterproof and breathable protection while being integrated directly into the shoe's construction for a lighter feel and better comfort, meaning your feet stay dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.

How much cushioning does the PWRRUN PB midsole provide?

PWRRUN PB is one of Saucony's most responsive and energy-efficient foams, offering a plush, soft, and comfortable ride that also provides good energy return for a responsive feel.

What is the drop of the Saucony Triumph 23 GTX?

The shoe has a 10mm drop, with a heel height of 37mm and a forefoot height of 27mm.

Are these shoes vegan?

Yes, this model is vegan and also contains recycled materials.

What kind of runner is this shoe best for?

This shoe is ideal for adult runners, particularly those who are neutral runners looking for maximum cushioning, comfort, and durability for daily training and long runs, especially in wet weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims

Ensure laces are snug to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any punctures or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Make sure you are using appropriate waterproof socks if needed for extreme conditions. Sweat can also cause dampness; ensure the shoe is not too tight.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces may still present a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can reduce grip. For very slippery conditions, consider reducing pace or seeking alternative routes.

Discomfort or rubbing

Try adjusting the lacing to find a more secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape or biomechanics.

Reduced cushioning over time

The PWRRUN PB foam is designed for durability, but like all foams, it will soften with extensive use. For prolonged comfort on very long runs, ensure you are not exceeding the shoe's intended lifespan for peak performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable protection for all-weather running.
  • Superior cushioning with PWRRUN PB for comfort on long distances.
  • Durable and versatile outsole provides reliable traction on multiple surfaces.
  • Lightweight and responsive feel despite the waterproof construction.
  • Incorporates recycled materials for a more sustainable option.

Cons

  • May feel slightly less agile than non-waterproof versions due to the GTX membrane.
  • Primarily designed for neutral runners; may not offer sufficient support for overpronators.
  • While versatile, extreme trail conditions might demand more aggressive lug patterns.
  • The cushioning, while plush, might be too soft for runners who prefer a firmer ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for adjustment to secure the foot.

Compatibility:

This is a neutral running shoe designed for road running and light trails. It is compatible with most running socks. For optimal waterproof performance, ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the shoes, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • GORE-TEX Care: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid puncturing the shoe. If the waterproofness seems to decrease over time, washing them according to care instructions can sometimes help restore performance.
