Customer Reviews Saucony Triumph 18

Received shoes Saturday , wore a couple hours in the house during a get together, sitting 90 percent of the time,the upper material rubbed my toes raw, called SAUCONY Sunday morning,I guess trying out the shoes should be kept under 30 seconds

These shoes do not breathe well, and are slightly sluggish in weigh and balance

Sizing was definitely off. I would say size down to anyone purchasing these. Somewhat heavy and clunky to be honest. A lot of people like them, but I just cannot get behind these.

Way too cushy for my needs. Great shoe but felt like I was losing energy in stride. Conversely I know folks who believe these shoes are the best ever. These just aren't for me

Shoes feel great and don't want the hassle of returning, BUT this is not the shoe in the pictures on the website

I was excited to try out my new Triumph 18. I new it would not be the same experience that I had with the 17s as soon as I put them on. Not at all the same cushioning and I did not feel any gain in energy return compared to the 17s. So, I lost the feeling of running on a cloud for no gain. I am know running full-time with my Endorphin Pro that I find more comfortable and fun to run with than the 18s. I will miss my 17s. The lesson here is: don't mess with a good receipe. Please bring back the 17s with the cool colors of the Endorphin Pro.

I have been running in the Triumph's for years and 18's are very tight over the top of my feet. The top lace eyelet on the right side of my right foot digs into the top of my foot making runs very unconformable. After years of running in several models of the Triumph, this is the first version that has caused me any issue what so ever. Normally the best shoe on the market in my opinion.

I've had my Triumph 18 for months. Used them fairly often. To me, the sole has potential, but it's HARD. FIRM. RIGID. Saucony needs to soften up the sole 25 to 30-percent more --- so it doesn't feel quite so jarring. I feel some energy return, which is cool. And I really like the upper. . But please --- keep improving the sole and heel area so it's not so darn rigid.

The 17 was great! LOVED the padding and the feel. The 18s feel like burlap on my feet. The toe box feels more narrow. Just a thinner, cheaper, less comfortable shoe. Why did you mess with the 17? Why? The style looks better on the 18s but put the padding back in them! This isn't a race day shoe quit messing with it!!!!

I have run in Saucony before with no issues. In fact, the endorphin speed is one of my favorites. But for some reasons, these shoes have cause knee pain for me that I can't replicate in my other shoes.

I bought and just received Saucony triumph 18 from Amazon...I had a very good experience with triumph 17 those were very soft and extremely comfortable shoes. Frankly, triumph 18 disappointed me. It's not very soft and it doesn't have the same comfort level that triumph 17 has. Now I just returned triumph 18 and place an order for triumph 17. Last but not the least I saved approx. $50

Sent my last pair of triumph back . Have not replaced them yet

These shoes seem to tilt my feet outward, but at least they don't have a thinner tongue like the 19 does. For me personally, the 18 and 19 caused me more problems than solutions. The warranty is good, and you're going to need it when the material rips or part of the sole comes apart.

Way too cushy. My feet absolutely ache. I've never had this experience with previous versions of the Triumph ISO. I asked the service rep what model shoe to purchase to replace the previous Triumph ISO version and she recommended this one. I am taking Ibuprofen daily.

What ever you changes you made are the worst. It is my 15th pair of Saucony Triumphs, and I can't wear them it hurts so bad.

This used to be my go to shoe but once they changed to this new model it actually makes my feet hurt and I can't use them anymore they don't feel as comfortable as the previous model. The sole feels harder I really wish they kept something that I felt was perfect and not change it up. I can't use the shoe anymore and I have to return it unfortunately I used the shoes so I don't know if I can return it.

These feel like a shoe with 500 miles on them already. I've worn the Triumph model for years and this is just disappointing. They also are too wide, a medium width is now fitting like a wide.

I had tried the 17 first, which shoved my right foot to the right. So I tried the 18. While the 17 and 18 had lots of padding, the 18 caused a lot of pain in my right big toe. Whatever the strap is that puts pressure on the top of my foot needs to be removed. I have yet to find a shoe I can wear more than a few blocks without wanting them off my feet. After wearing these shoes, the upper part of my left leg hurt as well as my hamstring. This also happened with a previous version of the Peregrine. I guess Saucony shoes just are not the right shoes for me. Hopefully you have better luck.

I bought the Triumph 9 many years ago and loved them from day one. They finally have worn out and I decided to go with triumph 18 after reading reviews. I was so excited to get them in. They were very nice looking and very comfortable just putting them on. My first run was 5 miles after about 2 my feet were throbbing. After 4 I stopped to adjust the laces thinking they were too tight. After 5 I had to stop and walk because my feet were killing me. I have planned a 6 mile run that day but couldn't finish it. Two days later I decided to try again. This time just 4 miles and same thing. My feet were throbbing and aching. I immediately got home removed them boxed them up and sent them back. I was so disappointed after my experience with triumph 9. Not to bash the shoe I think this is just a lesson to go get fitted instead of buying online. Maybe Saucony changed the running style of that shoe and I just wasn't aware of it. I'm going to stick with saucony cause they are a leader in running shoes but I will get fitted for the right shoe.
