Customer Reviews Saucony Triumph 18

This is usually one of my favorite brands, but this pair just seemed a little ‘squishy’ right out of the box. I am used to a firm fitting shoe, especially in a running shoe, but this was not quite up to my usual.

The fit was narrower than I expected. The laces are frustrating as they are way too long and have to be double knotted. Nice looking sneaker -just doesn't feel good on my feet.

A bit of heal slippage; I wish there were more depth in that part of the shoe.

fit and size were good. There was good cushioning in these shoes but not enough underlying support

Length was fine, but was narrow.

Many of the great Saucony qualities (amazing cushioning, nice drop, overall very comfortable), but it was too narrow for me. I have been buying the same size (5.5) and same width (W) for years, following the Triumph line, but I couldn't keep these. I started noticing the 17 feeling narrower; the 18 is definitely too narrow. Since I get a new pair based on running mileage every 3-4 months, it is not like my feet have suddenly changed.

I ordered 7 Wide and they fit as such. Plenty of room for toes to splay and bunion. I have high arches and was surprised they caused my right arch to ache, which other shoes don't. They just weren't as comfortable as my old Saucony Triumphs. So I am returning them. I have a lot of problems buying athletic shoes for my crazy feet. I first bought Triumph 19 but the tongue was gusseted and I could not get my foot in it. I had no problem getting this Triumph 18 on even though there is a small bit of elastic gusset. Zappos is the best company to buy shoes from.

I normally wear 6 to 6.5B for athletic shoes. Ordered a 6.5d which ended up being too long. Despite being a wide, the toe box appears to be narrower than New Balance regular width. The shoes provide good arch support and are very cushy. The laces are really long and stretchy, and I'm not sure whether to like this feature or not. I decided to return and get the New Balance 1080v11 instead because they tend to fit my feet better.

I have an orthotic that needs to go in my shoes. The heel was too narrow, couldn’t get the orthotic to sit down fully inside the shoe. Other than that it fit fine, had to send it back & ordered the same ones as last year

Initially, I thought I could keep these but they are too narrow overall. My feet feel squashed. The cushioning is great but who are they making these for??? I'm trying a wide pair but I have never worn wides in my life. I'll be returning these.

I have been wearing this shoe for several versions/years and have always loved them, until now. Version 18 is narrower and less cushioned than prior versions. My custom orthotics squeak when I walk. The less cushioning is not as comfortable for my arthritic legs. I bought an 8M. I do not recommend version 18. I hope Saucony reads this review.

Odd that I have owned at least 3 pairs of this same brand shoe over the years, from Zappos of course. Same size, just get a new pair when they wear out because I love them. This one was way too big.
