FAQs
What type of runner is the Triumph 23 best suited for?
The Triumph 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize cushioning and comfort for long-distance running, recovery runs, and everyday training.
How does the PWRRUN PB midsole differ from standard EVA foam?
PWRRUN PB is a PEBA-based foam that is significantly lighter and softer than traditional EVA, offering higher energy return and a more responsive, cushioned feel.
Can I use the Triumph 23 for speedwork or racing?
While the shoe offers responsiveness, its primary design is for comfort and cushioning. It can be used for tempo runs or shorter races, but runners seeking a very firm, fast racing shoe might prefer a different model.
How often should I replace my Triumph 23 trainers?
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Factors like running surface, your weight, and gait can influence this. Look for signs of wear, such as flattened cushioning or worn-out tread.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Triumph 23 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh uppers for ventilation during runs.
What is the main difference between the Triumph 23 and previous versions?
The Triumph 23 features an updated, softer, and lighter PWRRUN PB midsole with increased cushioning, along with a premium SRS sockliner and an updated outsole for smoother transitions.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially or with thinner socks to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort, not overtightening.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Check for any debris caught in the outsole grooves. If the cushioning feels significantly degraded, it may be time to consider replacement after extensive mileage.
Slipping heel
Try a different lacing technique, such as a 'heel lock' or 'runner's knot', to secure the heel more firmly. Ensure you have the correct shoe size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Saucony Triumph 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit. The lacing system allows for adjustable tightness across the midfoot.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove insoles and hand wash the shoes with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For optimal lifespan and performance, consider rotating your running shoes with another pair if you run frequently.
