Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Triumph 23 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort on long-distance runs. Its key benefit is the enhanced PWRRUN PB midsole, providing superior cushioning for a plush and responsive ride. A potential caveat for some runners might be the 10mm heel drop, which could feel higher than zero-drop alternatives. This high-end neutral running shoe offers luxurious comfort through innovative compounds, a responsive sockliner, and a durable, flexible outsole, making it suitable for both slow long runs and faster-paced efforts.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Saucony Triumph 23 best for?
The Triumph 23 is ideal for adult male runners seeking a high-cushion, neutral shoe for daily training and long-distance running. It's suitable for those who prioritize comfort and impact protection.
How does the PWRRUN PB midsole compare to other cushioning technologies?
PWRRUN PB is Saucony's premier cushioning foam, offering a blend of softness, responsiveness, and lightness, designed to provide a plush yet energetic ride for extended mileage.
Can I use the Triumph 23 for speedwork or racing?
Yes, while designed for comfort, the responsive nature of the PWRRUN PB midsole and SRS sockliner allows the Triumph 23 to be a capable option for faster paces and even racing, especially for runners who prefer maximum cushioning.
What is the heel drop of the Saucony Triumph 23?
The shoe features a 10mm heel drop, with a stack height of 37mm in the heel and 27mm in the forefoot.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather conditions?
The technical mesh upper provides breathability, but it is not waterproof. The XT-900 outsole offers good traction, but like most running shoes, performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces.
How do I know if I need a neutral shoe like the Triumph 23?
Neutral shoes are designed for runners with a neutral gait, meaning their foot lands and rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. If you do not overpronate (foot rolls outward excessively) or supinate (foot rolls inward excessively), a neutral shoe is typically appropriate.
What is the weight of the Saucony Triumph 23?
The Saucony Triumph 23 weighs approximately 9.2oz (263g) for a men's US size 9.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try wearing different thickness running socks. If discomfort persists, consider lacing techniques or a different shoe model.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The PWRRUN PB midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning will naturally decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacement after 300-500 miles depending on usage and terrain.
Outsole losing grip
Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean it. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes.
