Great review. I’m done with the Invincible. The novelty of the ZoomX wears off and the fit just doesn’t work for me. Too narrow in the forefoot leading to hotspots and blisters. The wobbliness just seals the deal. Anxiously awaiting the Triumph 20 to drop in the US. Loving what Saucony is doing these days.

Thanks for all your triumph 20 videos seems you’re ahead of the game with this one! With over 300 miles in my triumph 19’s been eagerly awaiting the release of the 20 and after your initial review ordered a pair from start fitness and with discount code got them for a much more palatable £130 and they arrive any day now. Looking forward to training these last 7 weeks in them and then taking them to Chicago for the marathon in October. Thanks for your great reviews guys 👍

The instability of the Invincible (version 1) took some getting used to, but it's the only shoe that I have, that I can run in when my knee injury flares up. So if I could only have one shoe, it would absolutely be the Invincible.

The Nimbus 24 is also worth a look. Great impact protection, more versatile and stable, plus more durable.

Try the new balance rebel v3. It had been the only shoe that didnt cause my patellar tendon to flare up afterwards. I wanted something for long easy runs and decided to try the Invincible 2. But within the first two runs, they caused me to have various and newly encounterd pain issues around my ankles. Luckly the Rebel V3 added a little more stack over the V2 and its been doing well.

I picked up a pair of Triumph for 1/2 the price of the Invicibles. However after my first run in them they felt to me like Saucony was scrimping on material to manufacture these shoes the ride was not soft like the invincible a little more firm under foot but sadly I knew they were not for me after a couple of runs. The invincible is a great ride for traing the material and workmanship is quality plust. These are my thoughts.

Invincible a weird shoe for me. Feels like running in sand on slow miles. The bounce on fast miles knocks me all over the place. I’ve relegated it to a walking shoe….

The triumphs seem criminally underrated. Straight line mostly I will reach for the invincibles but any kind of hills or turns, or god forbid turns on a hill, I am going with the triumphs every single time. The energy return is close, you just don't get the compression as with zoomx. Way more stable ride. On foot the Invincibles do feel lighter to me though.
@fayecooper4277 Жыл бұрын
Amazing review. Thank you. I’ve found most bounce to come from the triumph sock liner which is about 10 mm in thickness. I wear custom orthotics/insole and changing out the sock liner literally put my feet on the ground. The forefoot stack went from 27 to under 20! So the cushion and bounce disappeared in short of 3 miles… made for a painful 16 miler. Either way I’m with Nick on Invincible 😊

V4 kills your knees, hips and motivation. After 2 runs i am happy i didn't continue otherwise i guess i could be handicapped for life. Your whole body tries to adapt to this stupid max cushioning but can't make it totally. After 5k i was totally exhausted. I never recommend v4 bro.

Invincible kills my knees and ankles and for some reason aggravates my hamstring injury. I want to love the shoe but I noticed it's terrible when I wear it for normal walking and also if I try to do too many miles on consecutive days I'm in pain.

I don't know what softer means in the context used in this video. The Triumph 19 was a very firm shoe, so saying the new one is softer really isn't saying much. Also, the Invincible is widely considered to be the softest shoe on the market, so, again, saying the Triumph is not as soft isn't telling me anything. I didn't learn anything from this video that would help inform a purchase decision. I thought the comparison was a strange one, TBH.

@@darrell9616 I own Invincibles and I think they are my favorite shoes, though in the bigger picture I haven't had them for that long. And because I like them I've been watching many reviews to see how opinions stack up against my own. I saw a review that said the New Balance Supercomp Trainer was softer under foot than the Invincible. That was incorrect. However, going by your logic when a shoe comes out that is softer than the Invincible you won't believe it.

@@jprelock No, just skeptical. Not only that, I personally wouldn't want a shoe any softer than the Invincible. Just as soft but more durable would be my ask. I will say, though, that I'm finding most professional reviews to be almost worthless because their experiences rarely match my own. The only purpose they serve for me right now is to let me know that new shoes have been released.
