The newest update to Saucony'sflagship maximum cushioning shoe, the Triumph 19, is here. This is the most awaited shoe for runners who want a daily training shoe with enough response to pick up the pace, if you need it.
This newest version of the Saucony Triumph 19 is in keeping with the American brand's iconic family of running shoes. There are not many changes with respect to previous versions, but there are small details which improve certain strategic points such as the upper and the heel area. These mainly increase the model's fit and breathability, but without neglecting its comfort and light cushioning for long distances.
The highlight of the Saucony Triumph 19 is the "less is more" aspect, and how the product developers of the Kutztown (Pennsylvania) based brand have responded to the demands of Saucony's loyal followers, and have managed to reduce the model's weight.
The shoe's geometry is similar to that of the previous version, with very comfortable, soft and reactive PWVRRUN+ midsole, but it is the redesign of the upper's technical mesh that has reduced the weight of this model. This is due to the replacement of the double-layer mesh with the FormFit system, which wraps the foot better to increase adaptability, and also breathability.
The strengths of this updated Triumph 19 from Saucony can be summarised in the following sections:
Premium cushioning capability
With the softer and more responsive PWRRUN foam material, these top of the range cushioning Triumph 19's are able to ensure maximum comfort, regardless of the distance you run. They are optimised for long distance running.
Redesigned upper for lightweight performance
In the upper of these Saucony shoes, there is a considerable improvement with the new engineered mesh, which, together with the better articulated eyelets, the feeling of support and fit is much greater, as it now has a sock-like adaptability of the shoe to the foot, as well as adding more breathability. At the same time, the aesthetics have an elegant, more modern touch, and this combination of design and performance make it more attractive.
Improved transitions
Aside from their aesthetic effect, those soft suede fabric details implemented in the tongue and side areas, contribute to lighter and more comfortable transitions. You will run with that feeling of effortlessness in every workout.
Another of Saucony's main focuses this season is respect for the environment, and these Triumphs certainly reinforce this trend by using recycled materials to promote the marketing and sale of more sustainable products.
More key details of the renewed Saucony Triumph 19 can be found in the technical specifications section. This top of the range shoe from the North American brand has an 8mm drop (32.5mm in the heel area and 24.5mm in the forefoot).
With regards to the shoe's weight, it is one of the lightest options in this very specific range, despite the fact that the maximalist trend of oversized midsoles tends to increase shoes' weight. The men's version weighs 309 grams and the women's running shoes are 272 grams.
All in all we can say that the Saucony Triumph 19 continue the Saucony Triumph 18's legacy of being a solid, comfortable daily training shoe with superior cushioning to rack up large volumes of kilometres on the road. It's important that, as runners who like and need to get out and run, we have adequate running shoes. The Saucony Triumph 19 is one of those models to keep in mind to improve our running experience.
