it is essential to find the perfect shoe, especially after suffering various injuries
As an avid runner, it is essential to find the perfect shoe, especially after suffering various injuries. Up until a few months ago when I purchased the Triumph ISO 2, I was an avid Brooks runner....until that shoe was one of the contributors to my broken foot. Post injury, this shoe was recommend. I was very wary at first because I had never ran with Saucony. Having ran with it over the summer for short and long distances at various speeds, I absolutely fell in love with them after the first run! The fit is perfect. The mid-foot provides a comfortable compression and my toes have adequate breathing room. I love the cushion and ease of the shoe. The shoe does not shift or slip during various speed runs, nor did it give me blisters. It is also very breathable and lightweight. The shoe also has the best shoe laces. I know that sounds silly but it's very frustrating when your laces untie during a race!!! Finally, I must mention how I love the style and colors. The pair I bought are black/red with a black and white spotted design near the back of the shoe. Overall, I'm very much happy with this shoe. Looking forward to a long and happy shoe-affair with this model.

Long time Saucony fan!!
I am a long time Saucony shoe owner and these did not disappoint. Love the color and as always, from my experience, fit great right out of the box. I had always purchased Rides but got the opportunity to purchase an earlier version of the Triumph ISO on sale a while back and fell in love with the fit. While my budget can't afford the new versions when they come out, I always watch for sales on later models. I haven't put these on the road yet as I am still on a previous pair of the 1st version that I bought when they were on sale to stock up for when the first pair needed to be retired. This pair will be used when the pair I am using now need to be retired. As far as going up a size, I think this would apply to first time Saucony purchasers or if you normally go up a 1/2 size on other brands of running shoes from what your regular shoe size is, then yes you would need to go up half a size with Saucony also. I am normally a size 6 1/2 in women's for all regular shoes, but for almost all brands of running shoes, I need a size 7. I purchased these shoes in a size 7 as I have with all prior Saucony shoes that I have owned over the years. Saucony shoes always fit me well in the forefoot area. I don't need wides, but the way the Saucony shoes are made, they seem to have a little wider toebox which suits my foot shape. The shoes are for a neutral runner, have ample support and are light weight. Great running shoe!Thank you Saucony!!

Poor design. Feet go numb, lumpy footbed, laces loosen frequently.
Ugh. So disappointed with this shoe. I've been running in Saucony for years ... probably 12 or more. In that time, Saucony has always been wonderful and totally reliable for consistent sizing, comfortable fit, excellent support and cushioning -- for short fast runs or long. Recently, however, I've had terrible experiences with Saucony. The last three pair, including and especially this one.I have spent 3 weeks trying to break these in. But no matter what I do, I cannot go more than a mile or two without my feet starting to tingle and ultimately start going numb. No amount of re-tieing, adjusting, nothing will prevent this or correct once it starts.In addition, up toward the ball of my foot and toes, some areas of the footbed seem lumpy. So that it feels like my sock is bunching up and once again, I have to stop and adjust. And finally, the tongues of this model tend to slip to the side.Oh yes. And the laces somehow start to loosen, which also forces me to stop and tighten.So basically, these shoes have me stopping to adjust something every half mile or so.Wow. These really are the worst shoes on the planet. I'll be checking out the return policy and hopefully sending back. I don't think an established company has any business selling a product this poor quality.

One of the best pair of shoes I've ever had.
I absolutely love these shoes. I have bought several pairs of high end running shoes over the past few years and have struggled to find any that I really like. They were either too heavy or hurt the outside bottom of my feet. These shoes felt amazing when I first put them on. They are light and well cushioned. I went on a 3 mile walk that first day and by mile 2 the outside bottom of my foot was on fire. I kept in mind that they may just need broken in. By the 3rd time i walked in them they felt great. I've walked and jogged in these.. on pavement and on the treadmill. They're great. I'll definitely buy these again. Another thing I like is that there isn't a loose tongue. These go on like socks which also contributes to the comfort factor.

The best shoe Saucony makes!
This sneaker runs up to a full size too small, I am sure others have said that about this sneaker. I did order another size and had to return it but once I got the proper size I am now happy.I have an 11 in other Saucony's but I have to wear a 12 in this one. I am not sure about width I get the 12D width so I order a wide and I am fine with it, no problems there so I can't say if it runs narrow or not. This has been the only Saucony other than the Hurricane 15 that I can wear without having any foot pain! These may not be for everyone though as they do push your foot towards the front of the shoe which is part of what makes them feel smaller, I think they would be better for day to day wear which is how I am using them rather than running because a runner may get bruised toes especially when going downhill as your foot moves more forward in them when you go on a downward slope. Anyways these shoes have an extra layer of cushioning in the shoe that I have not seen in any other running shoe under the sock liner.I don't know why more manufacturers don't include this extra layer as it makes all the difference. The sock liner is very hard in these shoes so I recommend replacing it with something better if that is something that bothers you in this shoe.
