PWRRUN+ cushioning offers comfort for the long haul

A man and woman run up the stairs wearing the zapatillas de running Saucony amortiguación media talla 35.5.

If you enjoyed running in the Saucony Triumph 20, you’ll be delighted to hear that the latest version offers the same midsole design and materials. A thick, plush bed of PWRRUN+ foam cushions every stride, while a PWRRUN+ sockliner offers an immediately welcoming step-in feel.

PWRRUN+ foam was first introduced in Saucony shoes in 2019, offering the runner’s trifecta—a lighter weight, a more flexible ride and a more durable construction than their traditional PWRRUN foam. It’s been used in every version of the Triumph since the 17th iteration, and it’s easy to see why.

“The PWRRUN+ cushioning offers a plush and luxurious feeling when I slide my foot into it,” Adina says. “I really like how the shoe performs going uphill and the smoothness of running downhill.”

The shoe’s stack height of 37 millimeters in the heel and 27 in the forefoot puts it in the high range for daily trainers, making it a great option for runners who crave ample cushioning underfoot.

“I love how cushioned this shoe is in the heel, and I love the soft yet resilient PWRRUN+ foam,” says Caroline. “It really provides the perfect level of softness for me. I look forward to many future runs in the Triumph 21!”

Reviewers also enjoyed how the midsole seems to provide a bit of extra spring in your step, which isn’t necessary for a daily trainer but always appreciated.

“Despite how tired I was during my initial test run, the Triumph 21 felt peppy,” Kate says. “It offered much-needed support and cushion along the way. I love how the shoe feels super soft, and is still highly responsive. It has that bouncy, energetic feel that I love.”

The Triumph 21 features a partially exposed outsole made with durable X10 rubber. While some portions of the midsole foam remain exposed to save weight (rubber is heavier than foam), it has enough coverage to hold up to the daily wear and tear of training.

Redesigned upper locks down fit

While the midsole of the Triumph 21 remains the same as the previous version, the main updates to the shoe lie in the fit and feel of the upper. It’s made with a flat knit material that’s more breathable than previous versions, making those hot summer runs much more bearable.

“The upper in the Triumph 21 is super breathable, and I know this to be a fact because I tested these on a 95-degree afternoon and my feet stayed comfortable,” says Caroline. “It was the only part of my body that was comfortable, but that’s besides the point.”

A padded heel collar and tongue add to the luxurious feeling of the shoe, while a handy pull tab on the back of the heel makes it easy to slip on. Reviewers found the fit to be just right—roomy in the forefoot and snug in the heel and midfoot.

“The Triumph 21 is true to size for me,” Nate says. “The soft upper offers great breathability and the gusseted tongue stays locked in place.”

Another change to the Triumph is the gilley lacing system, the extra loops the laces feed through outside of the regular lace cage. Saucony made these loops smaller and closer to the top of the foot than in the Triumph 20 to hold your heel and ankle firmly in place.

Overall, these subtle changes to the upper make the Triumph 21 feel more breathable and fit more securely than its predecessor.

The new, flat knit upper provides extra breathability and the updated gilley lacing system adds a more secure fit. Plus, the Triumph 21 is available in fun, fresh colorways that are sure to turn heads.

Cheap Sneakersbe Jordan Outlet reviewers put the zapatillas de running Saucony amortiguación media talla 35.5 in the highly cushioned, neutral daily trainer category where it fits in with the brand new with original box Saucony Guide 15 S20684-12 and the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 25. Technically, the Cumulus 25 is one step below ASICS’ max-cushioned Nimbus 25, but reviewers felt the cushioning in the Cumulus resembled the Triumph 21 more closely.

All three shoes are similar in weight, with the Triumph 21 falling right in between the More v4 and Cumulus 25. All three shoes offer similar stack heights, too. But what drew the most comparison among reviewers was the soft yet bouncy feel of the midsole cushioning.

“The midsole foam is where the Triumph 21 really sings,” says Nate. “I appreciate the softer foam in the heel for slower miles and the firmer, more responsive feel in the forefoot for quicker and snappier steps.”
