Our Verdict

Brooks Glycerin 22

Saucony Triumph 23

The Saucony Triumph 23 and Brooks Glycerin 22 are both popular cushioned models from their respective brands, and are part of product lines that are undergoing significant evolution. In this respect, the Triumph 23 is a step ahead of the Glycerin 22, as Saucony has managed to make this iteration of the Triumph significantly lighter while still providing better cushioning. The Triumph 23 also returns energy much better than the Glycerin 22. One area where the Glycerin 22 has an advantage would be for heavier heel strikers, as the cushioning in the rearfoot of the Glycerin does a better job of absorbing impact at higher force levels.
