Customer Reviews Saucony Triumph 18

Shoelaces already broke! And with color I chose, they can't be replaced. Too expensive shoe!

I have been a Saucony fan for years and have never ran in anything else but. I just received my new Triumph 18 and Iam already disappointed. They are a totally different fit than any Saucony runner I have ever purchased and seem like a 1/2 to full size too big.

For the price, I expected more. But at the end of the day, they're just a pair of shoes. I'm not blown away by the cushioning, the toe box is a little tighter than I'd like (especially for a wide shoe), and once these wear out, I won't be buying a second pair to replace them. They're decent, but not worth raving about.

A little more narrow than my old triumphs but I'm breaking them in

I have the Triumph 17 and love them but not so much on this pair. They feel big and bulky. And not loving the color.

Comfy for everyday walking and very lightweight. But not as cushioned as what I normally expect from a Saucony shoe.

This is my third pair of Triumph 18, having purchased the two previous models. As an RN who works hours on my feet I was so happy to find a shoe that worked for me, thus buying new models when old shoes no longer work. I have found this model to be less comfortable than the previous models. The front toe box has changed and is wider than the insole, so my toe rubs up against the "gap". I also find the round laces to be problematic. I'm disappointed that this shoe hasn't worked for me straight out of the box. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or ability (because of Covid-19) to go shoe shopping.

Overall, this seemed like a great shoe. I would prefer a bit more responsiveness, but it works for recovery and easy runs. I'm disappointed, however, as I've only run 10 miles in them and the upper is separating from the outsole. I've requested a refund or replacement. I hope I just got a lemon.

This model definitely smaller than the 17. I returned for 1/2 size up. Frankly, it also feels stiffer than the 17, which I didn't like. I'm still going to give the larger size a try though.

Was walking daily with the Integrity walking shoes, but wanted to incorporate more running so I purchased the Triumph 18. I have higher arches and the shoe doesn't seem as tall/deep as the Integrity shoes. My feet felt as though they were being compressed, so I found I had to leave the laces very loose which then caused my heel to slip. I changed my lacing to help the heel slippage. The shoes are very cushiony and once I changed the lacing to very loose my feet are adapting. Not sure if I would order these again.

The fit of this particular pair of Triumph 18 is unlike my previous pair. Shoe toe box is too tight and uncomfortable to wear. Hoping they relax in time

Had two pairs of Triumph 17s because they were so amazing. Was excited to get the Triumph 18s when they came out, but to my dismay they aren't the same shoe. The T18 is not cushioned and comfortable like the T17. I haven't worn them yet because when I put them on the sole felt hard under my foot. I didn't feel they would pass even as a walking shoe. They have been sitting unworn in my closet for several months - would have been wise to return them. I was excited to try the T19s and nearly purchased the three pairs in my cart today, in hope that Saucony returned to the former T17 model. Glad I thought to check reviews before buying because others have noted they're not like the T17s. Back to my hunt for good shoesit's been a while since I've worn ASICS, Brooks, or adidasmaybe they'll have something better.

Saucony has been my go to shoe for years. I was worried when the ISO was discontinued but found the Triumph 17 to be even better! It was the best shoe ever and I wore through 3 pairs before I could no longer find them. The Triumph 18 is a huge disappointment after the 17. The shoe is stiff and lacks the cushioning that made its predecessors comfortable for long runs. The upper has little give which causes irritation. It is adequate for short runs but beyond a 5K they leave my feet sore. Cannot understand why Saucony would make such drastic changes to what was an exceptional shoe. Not sure if I have the confidence to try the 19's or if I will shift to another brand.

The sole feels stiff and hard. It provides no cushion.

Sorry, but I can't get comfortable in this one. I'm an amputee Lower left leg, so that doesn't matter. When John gave me this shoe to try, it felt very good. But after getting them It's taken months to just where for 2 or 3 hours a day. Right foot is very sensitive and can't take much change in footwhere.

I have run in Triumph's for years and sadly, after having these only two weeks the side is coming apart of the left shoe on both side. I've never had this issue before. I've written to Saucony and they didn't reply. I was going to buy another pair of 18's but after this I'm not out of fear of lack of quality. So disappointed.
