How it ranks
The Saucony Triumph 20 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Comfort and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 37 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the Triumph product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
96/100
“As a slightly wide-footer, I had to go half a size in these as the toebox runs a little narrow.”
“The sole began to peel off at the heel around 250 miles.”
“After 70 miles, the outsole is still in excellent condition, with the forefoot area still looking brand new.”
“Foot pain starts at around 7-9 miles into a run.”
“Only suitable for roads due to the instability of the midsole.”
“It's easy to up the pace in the Tri 20, because it gives so much back.”
“Not great for intervals or high intensity runs—a bit too soft for that.”
“The weight is distributed super well and the shoe never feels heavy on foot at all.”
“Heels sometimes brush the inside of the calf as the rear leg comes forward.”
“Responsive to any speed and comfortable for long distances.”

Took a little bit to break into them, they were tight in the toe box but after adjusting the laces a bit they feel much better.

20 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the HOKA Clifton 8
5/5
Overall
Very solid shoe that lasts a long time. Won’t disappoint either. Probably isn’t the best at anything but is very good at everything. Would keep to easy runs + strides and tempo at fastest. Would recommend - 9/10.

40 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3
5/5
Overall
I have loved this shoe. Great for everyday running but has enough get up and go that it can be used for tempo runs or slower track intervals.

50 mpw training for a marathon came from the Saucony Triumph 19
4/5
Overall
Wasn't exactly what I was looking for after buying it. Price was really cheap compared to other shoes but I will say that if you are looking a hobby jog shoe than I definitely recommend this shoe. To put it simply, unlike other shoes I've had in the past I start to feel foot pain at around 7-9 miles into a run while wearing these shoes. For instance the other day I was going my LR and it was almost unbearable pain in them but for my easy 6 milers this shoe feels like a dream.
