Our verdict

The zapatillas de running Saucony competición placa de carbono talla 37.5, building on its legacy, offered us in the lab the smooth ride that enthusiasts have always cherished from this saga. This year's version provides unprecedented cushioning, an upgraded PWRRUN+ midsole, and a breathable knit upper. While its outsole intelligently balances weight and durability with strategic cutouts, in our experience, this shoe truly excels as a jack-of-all-trades, particularly for those with wide feet, thanks to its broad design.

Who should NOT buy

The zapatillas de running Saucony competición placa de carbono talla 37.5 excels as a jack-of-all-trades running shoe. However, for intervals or fast-paced training, it might fall short. Instead, consider the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3—decije saucony plitke bordo papuce broj.

For an alternative geared toward daily running, we also recommend trying the ASICS Novablast 3, as it delivers a great balance of comfort and performance.

Runners with narrow feet might also want to explore other options. Shoes like the Nike Pegasus 40 or the zapatillas de running Saucony ritmo medio minimalistas maratón talla 41 can provide a better fit in this particular situation.

Breathability

The Saucony Triumph series has consistently excelled in breathability, and the 21st edition upholds this tradition. In our lab's smoke-pumping test, we awarded it a score of 4/5. This score guarantees sufficient ventilation, even on hotter days.

During our light test, we clearly saw the impressive airflow. The way the light passed through the ventilation holes Saucony incorporated was notable. We especially appreciated that airflow was present throughout the whole shoe—not just in the toe box, which is common in most shoes.

However, it was our examination under the microscope that gave us a closer look at the shoe's design.

Here, we discovered a thick knit upper. Typically, this design enhances comfort but can reduce breathability.

This explains why, despite the numerous ventilation holes, the shoe didn't earn a 5-out-of-5 score.

Durability

Toebox durability

From the moment we first held the shoe, we were immediately impressed, sensing its potential for outstanding durability. However, the real test was subjecting the upper to our Dremel. 

Upon doing so, our initial hunch was validated. We were happy to give it a 3/5 score, which is significantly above average. It outperformed the ASICS GT 1000 12 by a noticeable margin as you can see below.

We measured the insole to be 6.7 mm thick, and we found it to be incredibly comfortable because it's made of the same PWRRUN+ foam used in the midsole. You can be assured of comfort no matter how long you plan to run in these shoes.

Outsole hardness

We measured the outsole's rubber hardness at 80.4 HC, which falls into the average range. This middle-of-the-road choice ensures both reliable grip and durability.

For the Triumph 21, Saucony made a smart decision to avoid overly soft rubber. This was necessary because the outsole has multiple cutouts and areas with exposed foam, all in an effort to reduce the shoe's weight and improve flexibility.

We measured the outsole at 2.9 mm, making it slimmer than what's found on most shoes.

We're confident that Saucony thoroughly tested numerous outsole variations in the lab. They determined that there wasn't a need for a thicker design, which helped in saving weight.

Weight

We've touched upon the outsole's role in the shoe's weight-reduction strategy—and the results are in! The Triumph 21 impressively tips the scales below the 10 oz benchmark.

At just 9.95 oz (282g), this is a standout weight for a plush daily trainer.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Our admiration for the shoe's weight grew when we measured the heel stack in the lab.

At 39.1 mm, we discovered that it ranks among the most cushioned daily trainers available. Now it stands proudly in the same category as super-thick shoes like the Nike Invincible 3.

Forefoot stack

We precisely measured the forefoot and found it to be 28.6 mm thick. This thickness ensures enough cushioning for every type of foot strike.

Additionally, it ensures near-zero ground feel, which, depending on the runner, can be seen as a benefit or a drawback.

Drop

When we measured the difference between the forefoot and the heel, we found a 10.5-mm heel-to-toe drop.

This makes the Triumph 21 an excellent choice for heel strikers, consistent with its previous versions.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

At Stefoy-les-lyonShops's Lab, we simply have a passion for running shoe foams. So, when it came to testing the PWRRUN+ midsole of the Triumph 21, we were keen to use our durometer. We had a strong feeling that this would be the softest version yet, given the current trend in running shoes.

Our hunch was right. We measured it at 16.8 HA, making it a truly plush foam. To put it in perspective, the Triumph 19 Saucony Lenkkitossut Endorphin Pro 2 Triumph 20 at 19.5 HA.

We discovered that there's a 28.6% change, which is a great result for a daily trainer. It shows that TPU foams like PWRRUN+ are superior to their EVA counterparts.

Stability

The Saucony "NYC Marathon" Pack includes three silhouettes

The zapatillas de running Saucony competición placa de carbono talla 37.5 is a neutral running shoe, lacking specific stability features. However, we've always found the series to offer moderate stability. This characteristic persists in the current edition.

Torsional rigidity

A primary reason the Triumph 21 feels more stable than one might expect is its significant torsional rigidity—unlike many daily trainers. In fact, we awarded it a 4/5 score, a rating often reserved for plated shoes.

Heel counter stiffness

Saucony's designers used the same strategy with the heel counter. As a result, we awarded it the same 4/5 rating.

This approach enhances stability, but it might compromise comfort for runners who favour a softer heel counter.

Midsole width in the forefoot

Saucony's approach to enhancing stability in a subtle manner is evident in the increased midsole width. They went with a wider design, with the shoe boasting an impressive 118.1 mm in the forefoot.

This design guarantees smooth and stable landings for both neutral runners and mild pronators.

With a heel width of 91.3 mm, we found it to be right in line with the average.

The width is just right for a daily trainer; if it were any broader, this shoe might overshadow other stability shoes in Saucony's lineup.

Flexibility

Stiffness

Comfort is essential for a shoe designed for daily running. Typically, this means a low score in the 90-degree bend test. We measured the Triumph 21 and it gave us a reading of 22.0N, which translates to a flexible shoe and seems just right to us.

After chilling the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes and testing it again, we measured a result close to the previous one: 25.8N.

We measured a 17.4% difference, which stands out when compared to almost any other daily trainer.

Many shoes still use EVA foam—a more affordable material that doesn't perform as well in cold conditions. In contrast, Saucony uses TPU in their PWRRUN+ midsole. We've discovered that this material consistently performs well in colder temperatures.

Size and fit

Internal length

Clocking in at an impressive 269.8 mm, this shoe perfectly matches its size expectations. Based on Saucony's size chart, the US 9 we examined is expected to be 270 mm. We believe a minuscule difference of 0.2 mm showcases outstanding precision.

Toebox width at the widest part

We measured the upper of the Triumph 21 by Saucony and found it to be quite roomy at 102.1 mm at its broadest point.

This design makes it suitable for those with wider feet, even in its standard-width size. However, it's worth noting that Saucony also offers this shoe in a Wide size for those who might require an even more spacious fit.

We discovered that Saucony added two layers of padding inside the tongue, which together measure a total of 7.6 mm.

Removable insole

The insole isn't glued, allowing us to easily swap it with custom orthotics or different insoles from other shoes.

However, as we said before, this shoe's insole shares its composition with the midsole: TPU-based PWRRUN+. If you opt to replace it, be mindful that you're parting with some valuable cushioning. It's something to think about!
