Customer Reviews Saucony Triumph 21

I brought these shoes in September 23, 2023. I am not a runner, but I do like to have good shoes as I walk a lot. I liked them very much as they have a lot of cushion. However, as of late (April 2024) I am having some foot pain. My right foot's heel has been hurting me lately. Occasionally, I have had some pain on my left foot's arch. My question is, are these shoes worn out after 7 months of only using them for walking? Also, is too much cushion bad for your feet?

The shoes are really comfortable but the hard plastic in my heal keeps giving me a blister. I've tried everything when it comes to walking in them first, different knots/tightness or wearing them around the house and short runs but they don't want to mold to my foot apparently. Otherwise super comfy but tbh I don't think I can keep using them as they hurt.

They don't seem to have the bounce my older pair had. Also black is not good too run in the sun. My feet are on fire. I wanted to return for a lighter color but they wouldn't let me because i ran one in them

I bought about a month ago and worn them a few times but have not ran in them yet due to a foot injury. They are super comfortable however the toe rubber on the right shoe has already released from the glue.

I put about 15 miles on them during taping andran NYC Marathon 2023 in them. They were comfortable for the most part and were well. I tried to compare them to the Triumph 20 because I love them so much. Saucony is hands down my favorite sneaker all time. I felt the T21 were a little bit roomy in the front. I felt the front part of my foot flopping and slapping the road. Almost as I running barefoot. Buy the end of the Marathon my feet were sore. I am still not sure if it's the shoe or soles that I did not like. I would like to get fitted for pair of insoles to try that but not sure. Something about the front that has me on the fence. The T20 were so good but I still love the Saucony sneaker.

Purchased to replace my hoka biondi when they changed model to version 8 so was looking for a more cushion shoe. This Triumph is lacking the cushion I was looking for in the front of the foot.

Ran 100km in the and after started getting blister on my heel. Looked to my shoe and found a hole on heel padding.

Not as good as the Triumph 20's, the upper is more elastic and can make it hard to get a good fit. Even with very tight lacing it sill feels like your foot moves while running due to the upper. Cushion and sole seem good/about the same as the 20 but fit leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been wearing Saucony Shoes and Triumphs for years. I also run in Speed model. I find the Speed 3 a little wide for my skinny feet, which was why I always loved the Triumphs -- a nice snug but not tight fit. Now the Triumph 21's seem wider. I need to pull the laces pretty tightly to get them snug. They're ok, but the older versions were better.

I've loved and supported the brand for a very long time but the Triumph 21 we're bizarrely made. I had always bought size 8.5 men within Saucony but this shoe is made big. Maybe try in store before buying even if you're 100% sure of the sizing since they weren't very helpful with customer satisfaction. Not all sizes are equal i within the brand.Nonetheless they make amazing shoes.

It was time to replace my Triumph 19s so I ordered the 21s and put them back in the box as quick as I took them out. I have flat, wide feet and the 19s were great! Plenty of room for my fat toes, great ventilation and they lasted me through a few 8 mile hikes, plenty of walked miles and chasing my toddlers. The issue I instantly found with the 21s was how tight the mid-sole was! I loosened the laces thinking maybe they were too tight from the factory, nope. So I re-laced them and tried again, nope. Did one last test and took the sole out to place my foot on it and compare to my 19s and sure enough, my foot hung off the mid-sole by 2-3cm. Pretty much, it made my foot look like a popped can of biscuits. I'm willing to try the 22s when those come out IF they add some room to the mid-sole. So here's hoping they do because I truly love my 19s.

This shoe is so heavy compared to other shoes, buy a different shoe.

Purchased and immediately returned one pair because of a weird orange/yellow stain on the white part of the shoes that covered most of the heel... Ordered a different pair of the same style in a different color and it also had the same orange/yellow stain. Very disappointing, especially since these are not cheap shoes and I was really looking forward to trying them out. After the second return I decided to order Asics instead.

Since I bought these sneakers, it started to give me pain in my Achilles

I really want to return this shoe. I have worn it once. Can someone please reach out.

I was super happy with the previous model, the Triumph 19; however, the jury is still out on the Triumph 21 with only two runs in. The T21 is so different than the T19. The T21 is longer (both are size 7.5) but feels much narrower (both R width) than the T19. Also, the 10mm drop on the T21 is so noticeable. I don't remember if the T19 is also 10mm but I don't notice the drop at all. One last thing, the T21 is neutral but doesn't feel like it. I naturally run on the outside of my feet but the T21 resists that motion. If it was a simple thing to return the T21s, I think I would. Saucony has always been one of my favorite brand of running shoes but the T21 is making me rethink that.

Bought this about a week ago and my knee hurts. At first looked great and felt great but after the first run it didn't feel good.
