SAUCONY TRIUMPH 21 REVIEW - THE LIGHTEST MAX CUSHION SHOE IN 2023? - EDDBUD
An initial review of the new SAUCONY TRIUMPH 21, a brand new version of the super cushioned rotation shoe for longer distances, PWRRUN+ in the midsole and insole, this time with a much more breathable design and better fitting upper.
A max cushioned shoe with 44mm of stack in my uk 11 / us 12 makes for a great shoe for those longer training runs. Some super grip on the improved outsole too.
This is a shoe sent to me from SAUCONY for review, but they are not paying me to making this video nor will they be watching my video or vetting my views before my valued viewers get to see it.
I comment on the upper, midsole and outsole after my initial runs.

[@timothyoshea5683]

just picked up a pair for $79 brand new from Super Runner's Shop in August 2024. thanks for the review Edd

[@reselvski]

This is the first review of Triumph 21 that I've seen -- good job being in front of the pack! I just got my Triumph 20 at 50% off from Running Warehouse last week. Tried them on for the first time yesterday and then wore it for a road/trail half marathon today. I enjoyed the ride, so I decided to buy another Saucony right after the race (Tempus this time) 😇

[@i.p2088]

I love the Triumph 20 but hate the TEMPUS. It's hard and narrow..

[@EDDBUD]

I just realised I’m the first. Weird! I got the shoe rather recently and it’s not embargoed or anything. Very enjoyable.

[@slowloris1847]

Really like the Tempus, but I can see how it might be marmite. It's definitely a support shoe intended to go faster in, rather than a cushioned one. I like it because it is relatively lightweight.

[@vtru2743]

Do you know when the Tempus 2 will be released?? Been debating the Triumph or the Tempus.

[@i.p2088]

@@vtru2743 no idea. Maybe never.. It's a hard narrow shoe. Ride feels like Ride 15.. Become OK at Tempo speed.. If you want hard stable narrow buy the Ride 🙄

[@ashleymoore7610]

Cant wait for the Tempus 2 to come out I know its a “speed” stability shoe but love it for a long run with those 2 foams combining

Love the Triumph 20. Have done 600km in mine and they're as good new. Only gripe is the over-padded tongue, so this update is music to my ears!

[@EDDBUD]

Compared to the old triumph 17 it’s rather thin! Not all that plush these days.

[@insomniaforever6444]

Nice review Edd. I just bought the Saucony Triumph 20 late last week on sale. I've got every Triumph since the 17 and enjoy running in them. Never had an issue with them and this latest one looks the part too. The Tempus is an excellent shoe too and you can pick it up in Australia for a crazy $130 (68 pounds). That's excellent value. At present, Asics, Saucony and Puma are my go to brands for most shoes. I hope Saucony send you the Endorphin Elite so you can do a review of that one. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

[@EDDBUD]

This more breathable upper will do the business down the line.

[@i.p2088]

I have the Triumph 20. It's amazing.

[@gottide]

I have a pair aswell, get the 21 when they wear out!!! They are so much better!

@@gottide Really? There is a difference between the 20 and 21? I thought just some small upper change?

[@EDDBUD]

Now that’s some value.

[@Elmo6855]

I may have stocked up on some 17s back in the day, on sale of course. Maybe still putting miles on a pair today! Crazy durable outsole and yeah, was super cush. Loved them for long winter runs. Will be interesting when I finally upgrade. At least 500 miles to go!

I fondly remember the 17. Bought it just before the 2020 lockdown. My daughter helped me make that video and it’s good to remember where I’ve come from and how I got here. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👊

Yes it’s a smashing profile

[@ianlowe4126]

Great review Ed and glad you finally got round to the Triumph which really has evolved in the last 2 models. I’ve got 400 miles in my 19’s and still tons left in them, about 200 in my first pair of 20’s ( including Chicago marathon) and just picked up another discounted pair for stock. For me the Triumph is as close as I’m going to get to the perfect running shoe. The 21 doesn’t look to have enough updates to warrant a purchase tho loved the colourway of yours. Great work thanks. 👍

[@EDDBUD]

I enjoying being part of the triumph love!

[@billeva8457]

I spoke with a Saucony rep a couple months back. He said the major changes are to the upper. I love the 20 and picked up another pair at half off from Saucony through their Memorial Day deal here in the U.S. good until Monday the 29th :)

[@EDDBUD]

I see they have a sale coming up. Holidays are top notch. Need a break 🤣👍🏼

[@kapacorro]

I really liked the 19´s. They were cushioned but fairly responsive, i took them to a 28km race, 10ks and a sub 20 5k and did respond well in all distances... (I´m a tall guy, over 6´3")

[@jamesaddison2428]

Hi Edd, belated congrats on reaching 40k🎉 Also loving the white and green colour way on the Triumph

[@EDDBUD]

Much appreciated 👍🏼

Looks great! Saucony are always good quality shoes and the Triumph always comes in Wide fit as well. This is definitely something I’m interested in.

[@EDDBUD]

Top notch quality on these.

[@giodc8599]

I LOVE my Triumph 20, especially since the change from the 19, which i also have, was quite significant. I think it's a criminally underrated shoe that can do easy days and pick up the pace a bit too. Soft, responsive with appropriate padding but not too much. 21 seems to be a nice upgrade but not as significant as the one from the previous generation.

[@ABucc]

Love the new upper and that white and Army green colorway is beautiful.

[@EDDBUD]

Perfect design on the colours.

[@jasonupshall7085]

My shoe rotation consists of the Endorphin Pro 3, Endorphin Speed 3 and Triumph 20 I absolutely love the Triumph 20 for my Z2 runs and a really comfortable shoe so I’m guessing the 21 will be much the same 🤓👍 Great review Ed

[@EDDBUD]

[@brynclarke1553]

Pleased you've got this shoe. I picked up the 20s after the More v4 crippled me. 250 miles plus on them and another pair in the wardrobe. Soft, cushioned, bit of bounce, great for lots of varying runs. Will pick up 21s when my pairs of 20s are dead. Look forward to you 100 mile review.

[@EDDBUD]

I was really surprised by the low weight and exciting cushion

[@BonLazaro]

I'm a big saucony fan! I have both endorphin speed and pro. No complaints whatsoever only praise. But I didn't get the chance to try out the triumph 20. I never found my size on them. Luckily I got to purchase them for my 2 kids. They've started to run and joins short 5k fun runs. Great video once again edd. Looking forward on trying these.

Hi ed, thanks for the review! Once you've reached the 100 miled, please give us a 3 way shoot out between this, magnify and nimbus. I find the triumph 20 to be a very lively shoe, instead of a recovery day shoe, can't help but run fast in the shoe. 😂

[@Romanowski129]

Went into fleet feet looking for a trainer for my first marathon. Had run in Homs Clifton’s and Brooks ghosts before and they always felt too heavy. The triumph 21s had apparently just been offloaded form the truck and they were starting to put them out. So far can’t complain. I think it’ll be a great first marathon trainer for me!

[@EDDBUD]

Enjoy! Love that shoe. Got a bit of everything in there

[@Trailrunner1978]

I am going to buy the 20 or 21. I used the Triumph 18 in a 50 K mixed surface ultra race last Saturday. About same setup as newer model, but different midsole material. But worked very well. I chose it ahead of Speedgoat and Ultraglide. I do think the Triumph is an alternative for mixed surface ultras where shoes like Endorphine Speed or carbonplates get to unstable.

[@EDDBUD]

The outsole is full of grip, very good update from the speed3/pro3 which has lower depth rubber.

[@dominikschrott7412]

I also used the Triumph 17 and absolutely loved it. so I purchased the Triumph 20. and I was disappointed because of feeling like burn in the left forfoot (which I had also in the speed 2 but in a way smaller amount). Might have been a reaction of sock and insole material... so I'm now very sceptic on more Saucony purchases...

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Had the same burning feeling on my 19s the first few days. Then it went away. I thought at that time it was because I was very tired or something but now, hearing your experience, it makes me think I wasn't crazy

[@FenboyTim]

Loving the triumph 20 at the min, I can pick up the pace during daily trading and long runs. A nice Aero peppermint colourway 😊. The 20 feel light in hand, but my Uk 9 is just under 300g.

[@EDDBUD]

You have it right on the colourway!

[@mawilliams777]

Just come back to this video after my first run in my Speed 4s Ed. Strange I know, but after last nights run I feel the shoes are going to fill each other’s roles for me. I found the speed 4s a bit too flexible and found I had to really literally keep my foot down to sustain a decent pace. I have been spoilt recently as I have been using Superblasts for my easy and moderate runs, I find if you back off in them you still keep a decent pace, but the speed 4s lose any momentum really quickly. I do think I need to run in ‘not so fast’ shoes in my training a bit more I was hoping the Speed 4s could help my Takumi sen 8s in the faster tempo zone, but they aren’t even anywhere near capable of the same speeds, I think they are going to drop even below the Triumph 21s for easier runs and not even for long runs.

[@Cavush]

I love my triumph 20, such a great shoe. Long runs feel like popping to the shops really, nice pacing as well. The 21 looks great, in that color as well. It’s weird they got rid of the elastic pull tab that hides away when not in use on the 20, in favor of that traditional one on the 21. I’m not using it, but It’s a better implementation over this new one I think.

[@doncarlospipely8852]

Nice one Edd, first review of the 21 I’ve seen. I have a pair of the 20’s and Endorphin Speed 3’s, in fact they’re all I’m running in at the moment, really like them both. This looks to be a little more stripped back than the 20 which is really plush, especially in the heel and tongue. Will definitely look at picking this up later in the year.

[@EDDBUD]

Compared to some other max cushioned models I’m very impressed. Works a bit better for my puny frame. 🤣👍🏼

[@Ruffnreddyrunner]

Mmmmmm saucony has me covered from the pros for races the speeds for training every pace and miles and now the triumph for cruising recovery and longer relaxing jaunts

Thanks for tuning in

[@tratratra547]

I have been wearing the ISO TRIUMPH for 10 years and they were one of the most comfortable sneakers in my life. After chatting with an expert on the official website, they recommended me to buy the SAUCONY 20, promising the same level of softness and comfort, especially important for me was the level around the heel. However, after I received them, I was disappointed. First of all, there is much less cushioning material around the heel. You can see that there are two seams running in the heel area of the sneakers, these seams rub against the heel quite significantly, they are very hard. Further, when the toe fully steps down, a dent forms on the sneaker around the big toe and due to this dent, the inner material, which is on the side of the big toe, starts to press down. Overall, I don't know about others, but I am disappointed and it's likely I'll have to return the sneakers.

[@EDDBUD]

I would assume the 20 is vastly different to that older model

[@richardharvey4216]

20C? Well let me tell you….oh right 🤣 I have run in Triumphs since the version before the 17, the Everrun 5? Anyway my fav has been the 19. Just the right amount of Cush and built like a tank. 30k distance is no problem and Can take them up to 4:30 per km easy if not paying attention. I find the 20 a very comfy shoe. Love the bounce. But some may find the softness of the midsole along with the stack in the heel to be a touch unstable.

[@EDDBUD]

The balance here is good. I was amazed how light they are considering the stack.

[@Charles-kc2vt]

Hey had a question brother. With the Triumph 20, I had a lot of heel instability, especially on the right foot - ended up rolling my ankle and I ended up donating the shoe. I wanted to like it but I could not deal with the issue, which I found strange because I'm usually alright with neutral shoes. Anyway, with the Triumph 21, are there changes in the heel area? If not, I will probably look into a different Saucony model. I've heard the Saucony Tempus is basically a more stable version of the triumph and I've heard a lot of good things. Could you let me know what you think? Thanks man.

[@EDDBUD]

Hey there. Didn’t try the 20. But from what I hear it’s the same midsole so it may be took close to the 20 for you

[@BamainMn]

I dont understand why Saucony eschewed the Triumph outsole on the Tempus or the Speed in favor of the crummy outsole these shoes have.

[@EDDBUD]

The speed 3 outsole is poor. This is much better.

[@kuriosites]

On paper, the Triumph 21 seems so similar to the Magnify NItro 2. A max cushion round-up would be a great idea for those of us trying to choose between them. I really like the feel of the NItro foam in my Deviate NItro 2's though.

Beautiful shoe.

[@EDDBUD]

Yes it’s a nice looking model

Im gonna made my temp rant the opposite this time. Here in the coast of México at 16°C we run with sweaters and gloves 😅😅

[@EDDBUD]

Gloves! I would love that temp!

I just don‘t like the looks and the design of Saucony shoes at all (personal preference). Ugly shoes on my feet are a no-go, that is why I am sticking to Puma, that design is on point. 👌

[@MiracleWarriors]

Here in my country Saucony is still a noobie ... all other USA Shoe brands are here for decades and decades already. I have seem the other day a very expensive Triumph 19 for sale ... the Triumph 20 was imported and costed the same of two Invincible 3s or two and a half NB More V4 ! I loved that launch color way, by the way. White with green !

[@EDDBUD]

My word. Import prices are not nice at all

[@richardjohnson7624]

Saucony school report: less of a Triumph, more of a whimper

[@EDDBUD]

Nah it’s a great shoe.

[@richardjohnson7624]

True, just a bit niche, pricey and in a very busy daily miler category

[@undeadly1103]

i hear it i hear it i hear it!

[@EDDBUD]

Do you see do you see so you see? “Mars” 🤣👍🏼

[@i.p2088]

Regarding the fit. TTS but less room then the Speed 3 or Pro 3. Very much the fit of the Speed 2.

[@EDDBUD]

More room up front than both the speed 2&3

[@undeadly1103]

wish the upper would have been like this on the 20. didn't like the slicky heel material either.

[@EDDBUD]

It’s a nice option even casually.

[@spacemen5097]

Is the mid foot snug? cause im on the verge of a wide and a regular and I dont know what to get

[@EDDBUD]

Not that present I. The arch in fairness

[@TomTheOriginal]

Ed, I need a new daily trainer soon. Been running in the NB 1080 v11 but want to try something new. Already had the Novablast 3, Cloudmonster and Velocity Nitro 2 and not really got on with them. Any recommendations?

[@EDDBUD]

For the price the velocity nitro 2 is darn good

[@grantwallace1882]

I think I may well buy a pair tomorrow.

[@EDDBUD]

A great model

My pleasure!

Edd I'm not going to say it, but we are even having a heat wave over here and it's usually blooming hot anyway 😂

It’s 6:21 here. Heading out before it gets overly warm.

Maybe you should launch Earth Credits as a currency? Just make sure you find a financial advisor who doesn't go out for an emperor burger, but comes back with a cheese burger. 🍔

Fancy a steak meal right now.
