Saucony Triumph 18 Men's Road Running Shoe Review

I personally drive better than the T17. The T18 now features the full coverage of the XT-900 rubber outsole, improved midsole sidewalls and heel geometry, but retains the springy PWRUN+ midsole and plush materials. Still a little heavy, but a great addition to an excellent everyday running shoe for long runs.

This replaced the Sacony Triumph 17 which performed excellently. I was able to return these shoes, for which I am grateful. During my first run (5 miles) I had severe blisters on both heels and "blister sensation" meaning I couldn't see the blisters but I could feel them on my feet, on my toes and on the outside of my foot . I've been in treatment for 2 weeks now - very bad experience.

If you've had a pair of Triumph 17s they look like this in comparison: They have less bulk and soft padding around the ankle collar - which is good. It took me about ten miles of wear to fully wear out. They are smaller than the previous version of this shoe (I wear a larger width). Same length but definitely a little narrower in width. Overall a very good running shoe after about 20 miles of running. I've also worn Hoka and New Balance shoes for years after wearing Brooks for years. These are…

Bought to replace an identical pair with a mileage of about 300 km. I've worn them twice and they seem a little thinner in the forefoot. I am sure there is no difference in the sole or construction and I hope that with a little more breaking in they will be comfortable enough. no salute as my forefoot is at the wide end of the metatarsus. Otherwise no complaints as I find this to be a very neutral cushioned shoe that has some spring and works well for me.
