Saucony - Triumph 19

4 pairs. I've heard that running in different shoes can help reduce injury risk, possibly by working different small muscles in each one. Seems to be helping me so far, as I used to be injury prone and I have recently been increasing my weekly mileage and speed work with no problems yet. Most of my shorter easy runs in Altra Rivera 2s, but this pair is pretty beat up and probably on its way out. It's a nice comfy zero drop shoe and I love it so much Longer (> 7 miles) easy runs in Saucony Triumph 19s. Higher drop and high cushion. Speed work in Saucony Kinvara 16s. Mid drop, extremely lightweight, love them! Other daily trainer is the Asics Gel Nimbus Lite. They're great at easy and quick paces. I also have a pair of Saucony Endorphin Pros that I haven't used yet but will hopefully whip out for race day It sounds like a lot but I got all except the Kinvaras used on Poshmark for less than $40 each. In great condition, too.

Im a bigger runner (was 220 now 180) and also a heel striker. I've been through a lot of cushioned shoes recommended for bigger runners (Triumph 19, Nimbus, Superblasts ) and I had a lot of issues with my shins and knees. If I could do it all again I would use a slightly firmer stable 'every day' shoe (right now I'm using the Adidas Rise 2 and Rebel v4). I'm no expert at all so take this with a grain of salt, but I just wonder if those max cushioned shoes can sometimes give you a false sense of security and allow you to plod along with bad form on the day, but pick up injuries. I feel like I know where I am (in terms of form, cadence, pain etc) in a slightly firmer shoe if that makes sense.

Heavier runner here - I use retired running shoes for gym (currently Saucony Truimph 19s). Still very comfortable in the upper, and more than enough cushioning for a treadmill, but they're slightly firmer (having done 400km) so they're not too bad for lifting (far from ideal obviously). You could pick some up off ebay/vinted if you're not opposed to second hand

I am roughly the same weight and height as you. That was the same experience I had with the NB3. I tried the NB5 for about 2 weeks and returned them. I only liked them at zone 2 pace or walking in them. I found them slappy, but not as slappy as the 3. The 3's lasted about the same time for me, but i used them until about the 400km mark. I am roughly the same weight and height as you. All my daily's typically last about 500 miles for me and that is a success. Triumph 21 - 500 miles \*2. On my third pair. Only beef is I hate the 10mm drop. 8 is the sweet spot. Triumph 19 600 miles \*2. 8 mm drop loved these and they looked good going out. Boston 10 600 +\_ miles started to feel the rods. Boston 11 gave up after 100 miles. Hated them. E. Speed 2 - 160 miles. Use them sparingly. They are my race day shoe for 5K and 10K. I think i will get 300 miles out of them. I think the E. Speed 4 would last longer. Hyperion Max 2. I have about 100 miles on them and they should be good for 400 miles. I think. Glycerine, cumulus have always been beasts. NB 1080 - 500 miles but The forefoot on the version I had was too padded enough. Hoka- Bondi and Clifton around gen 6 ish. dead at 300 miles. From one heavy"ish runner to another. GL

Sales + runrepeat. Needs to be at least half off. If I’m being honest more like 66%+ off. I’m running in speed 2s, Boston 11s, triumph 19, and glycerin 20s because they were on sale.

Saucony Triumph. Absolutely amazing. I wore 19s, now I'm wearing the 20s (that have over 700 miles and still feel great), and I have a pair of 21s in the closet waiting for the 20s to die, which they don't. Extremely comfortable, but not mushy, very responsive if you want it... durable AF... unbeatable.

Like the other comment says, the 22s were controversial. 20 and 21 were almost the same and a dream to run in. The 22 changed completely and many people weren't happy with it. I'd say you should read reviews about it. I just refuse to believe that Saucony messed it up so much to make it a bad shoe. But seeing that 23 is another overhaul, maybe it is true that 22 sucked compared to the previous models.

Everybody's feet are different, so that's a tough answer. I have collapsed arches and over-pronate, fairly severely with my left foot, and have had varying success with wildly different shoes. The key for me is a stable heel matched to a non-intrusive arch. I had to trial and error quite a bit with different shoes. I like running in the Saucony Hurricane 24 because it has a lot of good cushion, a lot of different stability elements going on, without having a traditional medial post. There's enough cushion that I feel protected, matched with enough guidance that I'm not moving/wobbling excessively anywhere. The New Balance 860v14 is similar for me, though it's less exciting and the arch-support is slightly more intrusive. I tried the Saucony Hurricane 25 on in store and they seem lighter and a touch more sporty feeling. The Saucony Triumph 20 oddly enough works great for me as well because the lockdown is flawless for me in addition to a stable feeling heel. I think a good, stable heel keeps my inner-ankle from rotating inward and is just enough that I'm not beating up my foot/arch. These next two are really oddballs for me and it took me years to even consider giving them a shot.  On a whim I tried a Saucony Kinvara 15 and Altra Escalante 4 recently and love them both.  I always figured this type of shoe would never ever work for me, but they do.  The light, low, firm setup is inherently stable and the ground-feel allows me to really focus on my form: not slamming my feet or heels down, running quietly is what I tell myself.  I think many shoes just have too much height and squish that allows too much movement for me and lower stack, firmer shoes leave less room for error.  The Kinvara feels both light and minimal but just protective enough at the same time. They also have minimal arch-humps so I never feel uncomfortable pressure there. I keep runs in these shoes less than 5 miles since they're on the more minimal side. Here are some that did not work for me: Saucony Guide 16: horrible, painful stiff medial post, slappy shoe New Balance 860v12: too firm, invasive arch New Balance 1080v12: insane instability Adidas Adizero SL2: I occasionally use these but they are very soft with minimal structure Topo Fly-lite 5: rock-hard, invasive arch support, wildly uncomfortable Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19: like running in a wooden clog 

the best shoe from recovery runs Ive used till today are the saucony triumphs 20 and 21. maybe you cand find some pairs in outlets or on websearch. they are versatile, you can increase the pace if you want without problems. I bought 2 pairs of each because I rly like the feeling. they are a lot better than nimbus IMO. the foam are energetic looks like a novablast 5 IMO, but more cushioning, and support.

IMO saucony triumph 20 and 21, always.

vou ser sincerão com voce.... nao sei o seu peso, mas o novablast 5 tem um pessimo historico de durabilidade da entressola... existem centenas de relatos de usuarios que dizem que o solado após uns 400 km fica sem vida e perde todo pop inicial. eu sugiro ir em outros modelos. ja os megablast e superblast nao apresentam esse problema... parece que a asics usou um eva de pessima qualidade nos novablasts em relação a durabilidade. porem eu acho que isso é um problema pra quem seja um pouco mais pesado, acima de 70 kg talvez? mesmo assim eu nesse caso iria de neo zen, neo zen 2, ou o adizero evo sl. eu preferi investir minha grana em tres pares de saucony triumphs 20 e 21, sao os tenis mais duraveis que ja vi, pois usa tpu na entressola, o mesmo material do boost. mas sao tenis de rodagem premium, nao sao a melhor escolha pra paces muito rapidos, mas ja fiz 4:00 por km neles pra testar e ficaram ok, se usar em rodagem entre 4:30 e 5:30 eles se saem perfeitos, abaixo isso, eles começam a ficar pesados.... seria mais rodagem normal e lentas mesmo.

I used to have the Saucony Triumph 20. Great shoes, but that super rigid plastic heel cup didn't work for me, and after about 600 km it felt like there was nothing under the forefoot anymore, like it bottomed out,.. I know you're not a fan of NB, but I just bought a pair of NB 1080v13, I'll give 'em their first trst drive tomorrow. I agree the Evo SL doesn't really like to go slow. I considered the Neo Zen too, but I was worried about the sizing and the booty upper, and eventually the 1080v13 popped up for 95€, so...

Triumph 20 and 21 have served me well. For my paces, versatile for everything from recovery days to threshold work, so like 7:45-10:30/mile paces. Haven't tried out the 22 yet but looks like that's more of a pure easy day shoe, so planning on replacing the 21s with Ride 18s when it's time to retire them. Looks like theyre basically a triumph 20/21 but with 8mm drop

I have 500 miles on the 20s and they feel like they still have a good bit of life left. Have about 250 miles on the 21s

Shoes are definitely highly individual, but they've been fantastic for me, and seem pretty well reviewed. They have a really nice balance of things. High cushioned for comfort on long runs, but without being too soft like a lot of max cushion shoes which gives them a bit of inherent stability without being an actual corrective stability shoe, and helps them be versatile for a lot of paces. They aren't necessarily the most exciting shoe. I also have Endorphin Speed 3 and use them for dedicated speed days, and they're maybe more "fun" to run in. I also really like my Superblast 2s. They're pretty versatile as well but slightly on the faster side, so I don't wear them on really slow recovery run days. If I had to pick just one do it all shoe, it would be the Triumph 20/21.

I have almost 600 miles on my Triumph 20's. I still run in them every other week or so.
