Our Verdict
Saucony Triumph 23
Nike Vomero Plus
The Saucony Triumph 23 and Nike Vomero Plus are both modern daily trainers with energetic, bouncy compounds, but they have different secondary priorities. The Nike sits higher and feels more protective, offering a bigger buffer underfoot that makes it especially comfortable for longer steady runs and easy mileage. The Saucony still delivers very good cushioning and a lively feel, but it isn't quite as high stacked, and its slightly firmer forefoot gives it a more stable, controlled ride overall.
