Saucony Women’s Triumph 22

The Researcher’s Take: Why We Like It

If you want a daily trainer that feels premium, plush, and energetic all at once, the Saucony Women’s Triumph 22 is a top-tier choice.

Based on our analysis of the upgrades, Saucony has taken their most cushioned shoe and given it a super-foam makeover. The big news is the PWRRUN PB foam. This is the same high-performance material used in their elite racing shoes, now tuned for daily comfort. In plain English, you get a shoe that is incredibly soft to land on but still has a springy “pop” to push you forward, making long runs feel shorter.

Key Features Breakdown

• Supreme Cushioning (PWRRUN PB): The midsole is packed with PWRRUN PB foam. It offers the perfect balance of impact absorption and energy return, reducing fatigue so you can run longer with less effort.
• Luxurious Fit: The upper is designed with comfort as the priority. It uses a soft, breathable mesh that hugs your foot, paired with a plush tongue and collar that feel great against your skin.
• Step-In Comfort: An Ortholite sockliner adds an extra layer of softness right under your foot, providing immediate comfort the moment you lace up.
• Smooth Ride: The geometry of the shoe encourages a smooth transition from heel to toe, making it ideal for everything from recovery jogs to long weekend runs.

Deep Dive: What’s New vs. Triumph 21?

The Triumph 22 is a major overhaul, not just a small update.

• The Foam Shift: The Triumph 21 used PWRRUN+ (TPU-based), which was bouncy and durable. The Triumph 22 upgrades to PWRRUN PB (PEBA-based). This is a lighter, higher-energy return foam previously reserved for the Endorphin speed/pro series.
• The Stability: To balance the softer foam, the Triumph 22 has a slightly wider platform, making it inherently stable for a neutral shoe.

Who Should Buy This Shoe?

• The Daily Cruiser: Perfect for runners who want one shoe to handle most of their easy and moderate-paced miles in luxury.
• The Long-Run Fan: The energy return of the PWRRUN PB foam really shines past mile 10, keeping your legs feeling fresh.
• The Recovery Runner: Ideal for days when your legs are sore and you need maximum protection from the pavement.
• The Walker: The premium cushioning makes it an excellent choice for walking or standing all day.

Sizing and Fit Advice

The Saucony Triumph 22 generally fits true to size.

• Width: The toe box is accommodating, allowing for natural toe splay. Saucony offers Wide options if you need extra room.
• Volume: The midfoot lockdown is secure without being tight, thanks to the adaptive lacing system.
