Our Verdict
adidas Adizero Evo SL
Saucony Triumph 24
The Saucony Triumph 24 is a better running shoe than the adidas Adizero Evo SL. It’s significantly more cushioned and has slightly better energy return, so it protects your legs more and is less tiring to run in across everything from daily miles to finishing marathons. It’s also more stable and has a much smoother ride. The adidas only really makes sense if you want a lighter shoe without such a tall stack.
