Critic consensus
from 6 reviewsThe Saucony Triumph 23 delivers a plush and bouncy ride with its updated PEBA foam, making it a comfortable cruiser for easy daily miles and recovery runs. However, its heavily padded upper runs warm in mild to hot weather, and a steep retail price diminishes its overall value. It is best suited for runners who prioritize high comfort and protection over speed versatility.

A shoe earns a tag as soon as one reviewer recommends it for that kind of run; the count shows how many agree. Mentions include synonyms, so “recovery”, “zone 2” and “conversational” all count toward Easy.

A worthwhile investment at $160 for heavier runners, heel strikers, or those new to running who prioritize comfort and protection for slower, easy runs.

The Triumph 23 is a solid, comfortable, and protective daily trainer that brings the line back in the right direction after the underwhelming 22.

The Saucony Triumph 23 is a good shoe, offering a comfortable and smooth ride, but its higher price point makes it less competitive in the current market.
