“Purchased these for a trip to Europe…wore every day/all day, averaged over 11 miles daily and my feet NEVER hurt!” —Buffalo Boy
“These were recommended as being excellent for those with Morton’s Neuroma. The term refers to a thickening of aggravated nerve tissue on the ball of the foot. It can feel like pressing on a small, sharp rock or even a tack with every step. It’s painful! I purchased the Saucony Triumph 22 in a size 10 and wide to alleviate even slight pressure from the sides. The length fits on target with comparable sneakers like Hoka, Brooks, and Sketchers. The toe box is generous, and the cushioned footbed is just right for maximum comfort. They deliver just the right amount of arch support, and my compromised left foot is no longer experiencing that debilitating stinging and radiating pain. These sneakers have not only significantly enhanced my quality of life but also look very attractive as well — not at all like some sort of dated clod hoppers despite the build of the sole. I wish there were more color options offered in the wide width. So far, I think they are pretty great, and I’d like to purchase a second pair. I’ll now be able to enjoy vacation with my family zooming through airport terminals, zipping a long walk through a redwood forest, navigating concrete and steps on an Alcatraz tour, and pursuing whatever else we will be doing when we visit California. I’ll be up for all of it! Thanks, Saucony!” —MO
“I have run a minimum of a mile/day, every day for almost four years now. In that time, I have gone through a few pairs of shoes, and my ‘go-to’ has been Triumphs for probably 10 years now.
I have seen versions come and go… good and bad changes, but always come back to a new pair of Triumphs.
I recently switched up my shoes and went with a brand that had a narrower toe box and more rigid rubber sole. After 300mi or so, I started to notice pain in my hips, an awkward gait/landing, and pain in my foot from what felt like too narrow a box.
When I switched back to the Triumph22, it was a breath of fresh air. Impact was far more cushioned while still feeling lively.
I will say, in the last two or three models, Saucony went with the split in the rear of the sole. This model seems much better, but I have had some real issues with durability and longevity here. The rubber that comes to a point in the rear would get worn and start to peel. I also think standing calf stretches may be too much for this design. Seems like running shoes should be able to handle some stretching.
Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! These are absolutely my favorite shoes… Just hope Saucony addresses the minor durability issue.” —Tyler Durden
“I did a ton of research online and bought these shoes after buying the Saucony Guide 17 and not loving them. First, I wear a 9 in Saucony, and this was true in this shoe. They fit perfectly, and there was room for my orthotics I wear for plantar fasciitis. Even with orthotics, there was no squishing, tightness on top, or heel slippage, which is amazing. They have a mesh top to keep the shoe light, and still have structure to keep stability and the shoe from getting sloppy-looking. The sole is large- about 2 inches at the highest, but that is how they pack in all the cushion and shock absorption. The color is great. I bought bright aqua. Overall, I highly recommend this shoe! I love it!!” —Teresa
