Jeremy: As for virtually every Saucony road shoe out there, XT-900 outsole material still perfectly does the job in the Triumph 19. Personal: B (I'm really happy this model shaved some weight down. It still carries some weight but feels much more natural now. Overall I like the shoe, but it is still a tad heavy and "slappy" in the forefoot for me.) The midsole is where this shoe shines and, as Kyle mentions, is almost too good to be true. The 32.5-24.5 mm of PWRRUN+ is uber soft, especially in the forefoot. As a forefoot striker, I appreciate the amount of cushion upfront as I often feel left out from the HOKA and big cush party. It’s a smooth ride that almost lulls you to sleep, which makes this a great easy/recovery day shoe. The Triumph 19 is just relaxed, without a care in the world, and that’s how you run in this shoe. That midsole combined with a durable, blown rubber outsole makes this shoe a reliable trainer to turn to when you’re feeling beat up or dealing with injury. Seiler, Stephen. (2010).

The midsole still features Saucony’s flagship cushioning technology: PWRRUN+. The ride feels excellent: athletes love the softness and responsiveness of the cushioning. One gripe, there’s a bit of heel slip thanks to the extremely stiff heel counter. I just don’t love stiff heel counters, but it’s amply padded and although there was some movement it didn’t cause any hot spots or adverse rubbing. Cadillac of running shoes It’s smooth yet somewhat energetic. It’s not overly peppy like the Endorphin. The ride feels cushy more than bouncy, but the end result is happy feet no matter how you describe it.For the 19, Saucony has refined the fit with a new mono-mesh upper. Lighter and more breathable, it was a favorite feature among our testers. “There was plenty of room in the toebox,” said one. “The upper material was easy to lace up and tighten around the midfoot, and my heel felt supported without the shoe fitting too snugly.”

Saucony Triumph 19 Review | Running Shoes Guru

The big news for v19 is it’s got a completely updated upper and its diet through COVID has resulted in the loss of a full ounce of weight! Well done Saucony!!Although the recent Triumph editions were fun and peppier than their listed weight, in today’s running shoe game, less is more. The folks at Saucony answered the call and gave the people what they wanted, a lighter shoe by nearly an ounce. Same plush and energetic PWRRUN+ midsole, but a FormFit mono mesh upper has replaced the double-layered mesh, wrapping the foot in all the right places and making the shoe more breathable. This shoe feels like sitting down in the cabin of a Mercedes. Now, I’ll step out of the way and let the team discuss their likes, dislikes, and usual mayhem on here. The upper is no match as the T19 achieves a comfier fit with far less materials, and as a consequence, far more breathability, without any compromise on foot hold.

Jeremy: Well I must admit that my first foray into the Triumph line was a tremendous discovery. Comfort for endless miles under the foot, a welcome responsiveness to handle many different paces, all in a smooth motion, the plush step in of the upper that I love so much in Saucony’s road shoes, an understated look with touches of fun, durability, grip...I can’t see anything to really gripe about here. It has easily found a (large) place in my shoes rotation. This amount of protection, responsiveness, outsole at just shy over 300gs for a US10.5 is a homerun.
