FAQs
Who is the Saucony Triumph 23 designed for?
The Triumph 23 is designed for adult runners, particularly those who prioritize comfort and cushioning for longer distances, including daily training and long runs.
What is the main benefit of the PWRRUN PB midsole?
The PWRRUN PB midsole offers increased cushioning and a softer, lighter, more responsive feel, which helps reduce fatigue and enhance comfort over extended runs.
How should I clean my Triumph 23 trainers?
Gently brush off dirt and mud. Use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth for deeper cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Can I use these for speedwork or racing?
While their primary focus is comfort and cushioning for long runs, the responsive nature of the PWRRUN PB midsole can also support tempo runs. For very fast races, lighter, more aggressive racing flats might be preferred.
What is the purpose of the Super Responsive Sockliner (SRS)?
The SRS provides an immediate feeling of plush comfort and enhances the overall responsive ride of the shoe.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the midfoot is snug but not constricting, and the heel should not slip.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Triumph 23 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for ventilation during runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and type of athletic socks. Adjust lacing technique to customize the fit across the midfoot and ankle. Consider trying a half-size up or down if the fit is consistently uncomfortable.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is normal wear and tear. The PWRRUN PB midsole will naturally compress over hundreds of miles. Ensure you are cleaning the shoes regularly to prevent debris from affecting performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for varied conditions, but like all trainers, grip may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
