Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Triumph 23 GTX trainers are designed for female adult runners seeking to extend their runs in any weather. Their key benefit is providing a dry, comfortable, and cushioned experience thanks to GORE-TEX Invisible Fit and PWRRUN PB midsole technology. A potential caveat is their higher-end cushioning might be more than some runners prefer for very short, fast-paced runs. These high-end neutral running shoes offer exceptional, plush cushioning with an SRS insole for enhanced comfort and performance, a redesigned XT-900 outsole for durable traction, and a waterproof yet breathable mesh upper.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the exceptional cushioning and comfort provided by the PWRRUN PB midsole and SRS insole make the Triumph 23 GTX ideal for marathon distances and other long-run training.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The redesigned XT-900 outsole offers good traction for light trails. However, for technical or muddy trails, specialized trail running shoes with more aggressive lug patterns may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush or cloth and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the difference between the Triumph 23 GTX and non-GTX versions?
The GTX version features GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, making it waterproof and breathable for all-weather conditions. The non-GTX version offers similar cushioning but lacks the waterproof membrane.
What is the weight of the Saucony Triumph 23 GTX?
The Saucony Triumph 23 GTX weighs approximately 10oz (285g) for a men's size 9, which is a standard weight for a highly cushioned, waterproof running shoe.
Is this shoe good for wide feet?
The Saucony Triumph 23 GTX is generally a standard width shoe. While the lacing allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet might find other models or brands offer wider options.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm (37mm in the heel and 27mm in the forefoot).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel wet inside despite not being submerged.
This could be due to sweat. The GORE-TEX membrane is breathable but if humidity is very high or during intense exertion, some moisture buildup can occur. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists, check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The PWRRUN PB cushioning may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure you are cleaning the shoes regularly and allowing them to dry properly. Rotating shoes can also help extend the life of the cushioning.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the XT-900 outsole offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For icy conditions, consider specialized winter running gear.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Adjust lacing to find a secure but not overly tight fit. Wear appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The lacing system allows for a secure and personalized fit.
Compatibility: The Saucony Triumph 23 GTX is designed as a neutral running shoe, compatible with a wide range of foot types that do not require significant motion control. It is suitable for road running and light trail use.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Never machine wash or dry your shoes. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive abrasion or sharp objects that could compromise its integrity. Re-waterproofing treatments are generally not necessary if the membrane is intact.
