Customer Reviews Saucony Triumph 20

This is my 3rd or 4th pair. In this version the cup on the right heal feels a little lower than previous years. So it rubs more than the other foot. But I found if the shoe is tight it's not a problem.

Just delivered to me , I'm usually a size 7 , not only the sneakers is tight , toe box area is also tight and I do not have wide feet

These shoes seem well made but after a short run the they are rubbing on the underside of the bone that sticks out from the outer side of the ankle. Now that area is red and sore. I've never had this issue with any other running shoe. Seems like the cut away for the ankle isn't low enough for me.

I bought these shoes less than a month ago and put 70 miles on them and the heel outsole already started peeling off. Although I loved them before that and am pretty sure this is a bug and not a feature of the shoe, I went with a different brand and model when I exchanged them to avoid future hassle/disappointment.

Have had multiple triumphs and have loved them all. They are the only shoe I use to run. However something has changed with these compared to previous models. The grip in damp and wet conditions is atrocious. Each step I slide a bit. This has never been an issue with previous models, but with these, if the conditions aren't absolutely perfect I don't run as I'm fearful of sliding and falling or blowing out a knee. Love the shoe in perfect conditions, drastically disappointed in the wet or even slightly damp.

One of the problem is that for some reason there is not as much as before cushioned material around the heel area. In the first TRIUMPH ISO sneakers, there was a lot of material and the shoe structure was not felt at all, it was very comfortable. However, in ISO 20 sneakers there is a feeling of two noticable stitched lines in the heel area , which chafes the heel. Also, when I fully step down on my foot, a bend forms in the area of the big toe, and there is an inner insert at the bend area. This insert starts to press on my big toe when I fully step down and it's also quite noticable, i don't know may be it was defective. It's noticable only on my left leg. I was a big fan of ISO TRIUMPH , one of the most comfortable ever, but 20 TRIUMPH is not the same, have some issues for me.

This shoe is very close to being what I've been searching for but for one feature. I find the mid-foot width to be too narrow. That being said, I can still run in it. However, it would be a lot more comfortable if more width was allowed in that area. Hopefully in a future version this will happen.

great cushion, bounce and reflection, but hard to turn or change direction when running, not sure if its relevant but my ankle start hurting when I'm running with this pair.

The new midsole of the T20s is a big step up as its much softer and bouncier than the previous version but I prefer the fit of the T19s. The heel in the T20's is shallow and my heel doesn't feel like it's in the shoe. So despite a comfortable, snug, fit width-wise, I have to use a lace lock so my heel feels secure. If Saucony fixes the heel issue and adds a little more of a rocker, the shoes IMO would be even better. I knocked two stars off the rating for the fit.

I purchased the Triumph for my easy and long run days. While it lasted, it was a fantastic choice. Great grip, very comfortable, and I could pick up the pace a little bit. However, on my last run in the shoe, I caught the curb of a sidewalk and scraped the shoe. I didn't think anything of it, as I didn't fall or lose my balance, just a minor scrape, or so I thought. After I finished the run, I inspected the shoe further, and I noticed the foam cushioning had a significant split. There was also a slightly smaller split in the back of the same shoe on the same side. Again, I didn't think twice about the slippage during the run, as I believe any other shoe would be fine, but I question the durability of the PWRRUN+ in this shoe. Outside of the durability, I really liked it, and I'm disappointed I only got ~40 miles (less than a month use) out of this shoe. There is one other review that has a similar issue. I filed a defective shoe claim with Saucony, and the customer service was great. Hopefully with the next version they can improve on what may turn out to be a more common than it should be issue.

Okay I love these in terms of both comfort and style. Love the monochromatic color. And the cushioning is fantastic. I have two issue with these shoes. First is the foam sole color chips away revealing the white foam. That's an annoyance. Secondly and more importantly the tread is a death trap on wet pavement. I have to switch to my older Triumphs for running and only wear these for my daily shoe, which bothers me because these have more cushion for my terrible knees and they're fly! And general props to Saucony for making awesome shoes that also look good AF.

I like the 19 version better. The 20 ran a bit small for me. It's solid overall, but I prefer the softer uppers on the 19.

Outsole on one shoe became detached at the back after one week of use. Disappointing.

I wore this for 30 min and it gave me good support and cushioning feel but the quality of the outer side was very fragile, it even got a tear when I closely looked, tiny one but how can that happen in 30 min. and I was chilling inside my home its self.

Very uncomfortable on the inside of the arch of my foot. Went with the Echelon instead. Much better.

I've had many pairs of sockets over the years and always been relatively pleased. The sneaker said the usual so can he level of comfort but the glued on treads started to peel off on the heel after about 2 weeks of light wear.

My Triumph 18 and Triumph 19 failed quickly because of holes above my toenails. This is because Triumphs tend to run large and the upper is very thin. I run a lot so I've used many different shoes and this is the only shoe that has this problem. I just received new Triumph 20 and I'm returning them because it seems they will have the same problem.

Those are great shoes! Fits perfectly and provide a confortable and bouncy run. One of the best running shoes I have tried. However, quality is not so great . Les then 60 km on them and the outsole of the right shoe started to detach from the midsole.

The shoes are comfortable but the smells of the shoes are very very bad. I have never had any new shoes that give such a bad smell and it lasts for weeks. The smell still bothers me now after having them for over 3 weeks.

The Triumph 18 sold me on Saucony. A 5 out of 5. Perhaps the serious runner has things to appreciate in the 20, but for my every day use the fit is nowhere near as comfortable and the stride is extremely clunky.

Started out feeling good. Back of the heel isn't high enough. Slips and slides as you run. Foam sole too much.
