Saucony - Triumph 23 GTX - Grey - Size UK 3

The XT-900 outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, including light trails. However, they are primarily designed as road running shoes with added weather protection. For technical or very rugged trails, a dedicated trail running shoe might be more appropriate.

You'll know it's working if your feet remain dry and comfortable even when running through puddles, rain, or wet grass. The breathability aspect means your feet shouldn't feel overly sweaty or clammy inside, even during intense runs.

The shoe weighs approximately 10oz (285g) for a men's size 9, and a similar weight for women's equivalent sizing. This is a standard weight for a highly cushioned and waterproof running shoe.

While the GORE-TEX membrane is breathable, the primary benefit is waterproofing. In very warm and dry conditions, your feet might feel warmer than in a non-waterproof shoe. They are best suited for mild to cool, wet weather.

A neutral running shoe is designed for runners who do not need extra support for overpronation. They offer cushioning and shock absorption without specific features to guide the foot's motion.

PWRRUN PB is known for its durability and responsiveness. While it provides excellent cushioning for many miles, like all midsole foams, it will eventually compress and lose some of its performance characteristics after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles).

Yes, the plush comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in unpredictable weather. However, their primary design and features are optimized for running performance.

Ensure the shoe's laces are tied snugly but not too tight to avoid compromising the GORE-TEX membrane's breathability. If water entered from the top opening, it might be due to submersion in deep water. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking.

The PWRRUN PB foam may compress over time with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is clean, as debris can affect performance. If the shoe has logged significant mileage (typically over 300-500 miles), the midsole may have reached the end of its effective lifespan.

While the XT-900 outsole is durable, its grip can be reduced on extremely muddy or icy surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove packed-in debris. For icy conditions, consider specialized winter running gear.
