Our Verdict

Saucony Triumph 22

Saucony Triumph 23

The Saucony Triumph 23 is the successor to the Saucony Triumph 22 and contains a number of noteworthy tweaks and improvements. The 23 is noticeably lighter, and although both have PWRRUN PB foam, the 23 is softer and better cushioned. The Triumph 23's midsole has more medial flare, leading to a wider base and a slightly more stable ride than the 22.
