Ride 18

Ride 18 is a great choice for just one shoe. It’s not flashy but it works for all paces and is extremely durable.

Ride 18. The ride series is criminally underrated and they last forever. They’re not fast and they’re not slow, they just do it all perfectly decent.

I find the Triumph (at least the 22) nearing the max cushion shoe category which are often used for slow, steady cruising. If you want something at least that has some pop then maybe try the Saucony Ride 18s. If you want something from Adidas then the SL2. Nike also have the ever reliable Pegasus line which currently is the Pegasus 41 though it's a bit firm compared to its peers but at least it's a no frills, durable daily trainer.

This is the most underrated shoe around right now, I have two pairs and I use it for anything below 15km

I’d also vouch for saucony ride 18, depending on where you are you can get them for about 100€ (on sale because of new version), very durable, stable and comfortable ride. Not super fast or fun but that’s exactly what you’re looking for as a beginner.

Out of the shoes you listed, the only one that is firm is Saucony Ride 18.

*republication, apparently the first one was not published in English Today I did my first run in the Saucony Hurricane 25, a 10K. I've been running in the Tempus (versions 1 and 2) for about a year and a half. They worked great for me last year when I was running at faster paces, but since I've slowed down, I find them less comfortable around 6:00/km, mainly because the forefoot lacks cushioning. Having overpronation issues, I considered other models like the GT-2000 14 or the Hoka Arahi 8, but I ultimately opted for the latest Hurricanes for their extra thickness and super foam layer, which I think makes them more comfortable than the Asics and more fun and durable than the Hokas. Fit: They fit perfectly in my usual size, 43, as do most of the Saucony shoes I've tried. The midfoot and heel are well supported, and there's plenty of room for the toes. I have fairly narrow feet, and the fit is perfect; they might be a little narrow for those with wider feet. The upper is very comfortable, although a bit thick and can get hot. Be careful, they absorb water in the rain and take a long time to dry (at least 48 hours). The laces are thick, which I don't find suitable for running shoes. Mine are already starting to fray, but we'll see how long they last. But when you put your foot in them, they really feel like slippers. Midsole and Running: During the run, they performed exactly as I expected at my 5:30-6:00/km pace. They were very stable (even on rooty trails), with generous cushioning without being mushy, and a slight bounce thanks to the PWRRUN PB. I didn't find them significantly less responsive than other stability shoes I've tried, such as the Tempus 2 or the Asics GT-2000 13. I didn't experience any rubbing or hot spots, and my forefoot remained comfortable throughout, which is exactly what I was looking for. Outsole: The grip was also excellent. I ran in pouring rain on asphalt, gravel, dirt, and roots, and I never slipped, except for a slight loss of grip on a wet gutter. The only negative to watch out for, and one I find on other Saucony shoes like the Tempus, is the small stones that can get stuck in the sole at the junction between the two exposed foams. In conclusion, the Saucony Hurricane 25 is a very solid stability shoe with plenty of cushioning, perfectly suited to my daily training sessions and long runs. I hope they get even better as the miles go by!

The energy return is not bad for a shoe of this size, there is a little bounce and a good rocker, the sole is not soft either, you can accelerate. For the moment I do not find them much slower than the Tempus 2, Ride 18 and Asics Gt 2000-13 that I was able to test recently.
