FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Triumph 23 GTX is a neutral shoe, generally offering a standard width fit. It is designed for adult female runners. For wide feet, it is recommended to check for specific wide-fit versions or consult with a running shoe specialist.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Allow to air dry naturally.
Will my feet get hot in these shoes?
The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology offers breathability, but like all waterproof materials, it may feel warmer than non-waterproof mesh in very hot conditions. They are optimized for comfort in wet or cool weather.
What is the main difference between the Triumph 23 GTX and a standard Triumph 23?
The primary difference is the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology in the GTX version, providing waterproofing. The standard Triumph 23 is not waterproof but may offer slightly superior breathability in dry, warm conditions.
How long will the cushioning last?
The PWRRUN PB cushioning is designed for durability and responsiveness. Most runners find the cushioning remains effective for approximately 300-500 miles, after which replacement is recommended for optimal performance and injury prevention.
Are these shoes good for trail running?
The XT-900 outsole offers durable traction suitable for light trails. However, these shoes are primarily designed for road running and may not provide the aggressive grip needed for technical or muddy off-road trails.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the high level of PWRRUN PB cushioning and the comfortable, waterproof design make the Triumph 23 GTX an excellent choice for marathon training and racing, especially if conditions might be wet.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water entry from the top. Clean the shoe regularly to prevent dirt from compromising the seals.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning foams naturally compress with use. For optimal feel, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of running. Ensure the SRS insole is correctly positioned.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 outsole is designed for traction, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can reduce grip. Exercise caution on very wet or icy terrain.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and fit. Wear appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
- Drying: Allow 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 degrade the materials and the waterproof properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane is durable, avoid excessive abrasion on the waterproof areas. Regular cleaning will help maintain its performance.
