This Saucony Triumph 24 review covers a max-cushion shoe that is softer than most yet lighter than it looks. It costs about $170 at full price and weighs 250 g in the men's, with incrediLUX foam and very high lab energy return. Reviewers say it handles slow and fast paces. It's less stable than the 23 and the fit is snug. Best for: runners who want soft cushioning with some bounce for long runs.

Fit and sizing
RunRepeat's 25 owner votes call the Triumph 24 true to size, but lab data found a snug upper with a slightly narrow toebox. Saucony offers Normal and Wide. Use our running shoe finder to compare widths.
Cushioning and ride
Saucony lists a 43 mm heel and 33 mm forefoot stack with a 10 mm drop. The incrediLUX foam tested with strong shock absorption and 72% heel energy return, much higher than average. The rocker is smooth, especially for heel strikers.
How it performs for long runs and easy days
Reviewers say it works for long runs and handles both slow and fast paces, and that it's suited to heavier runners. It has excellent traction. For more stability consider the Brooks Glycerin 23.
Price and value
At about $170 at full price, RunRepeat says good value for its tech. The Triumph 23 is likely on sale.
Alternatives
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28, New Balance 1080v15 and HOKA Bondi 9 compete. See the Saucony brand page.
Who should skip it
