Cinderella sneakers!
I lost track of how many pairs of tennis shoes I tried on. More than 40. Honestly. I needed some good shoes for exercise and for an upcoming trip with a lot of walking. My old shoes were stretched out or worn out.I have a size 10 Wide foot with HIGH arches. I supinate, and my toes splay widely when I walk. I also have weak ankles. I’ve traditionally had luck with NB wides, but I could not find the sweet spot in any of their current lines. Anything wide enough in the toe box slipped in the heel (pretty much all of their current leisure shoes), and their athletic shoes all felt humpy in my arches with the rollbar soles. All of the shoe stores and Amazon tried to beat me over the head with the other popular brand of shoes now (Br***s Gh0sts), but none of them fit right, even in the limited ugly colors they offered in a wide. I think I tried every other single major athletic shoe brand. I researched. I read reviews. I went through several cycles of Try Before You Buy (thank goodness for Amazon) and nothing worked. I went to a specialty shoe store and got professionally fitted, then tried every ladies athletic shoe that was remotely wide. Nothing. The saleswoman basically told me I have horrible feet and that she couldn’t do anything for me.In my search, I commented that I liked the cushion of the Triumphs. The 18s were not comfortable to me, through, and I felt like my heel didn’t sit firmly in the heel cups. I went ahead and tried the 19s, though reviews I’d read said they basically were the same as the 18s but a little lighter and smaller. Not so. Not at all!The material in the 19s is so much softer and more comfortable to me. The look is such much nicer too. More importantly, the heel feels deeper, and it definitely comes up higher. It is a more comfortable fit all the way around. I wore them for a whole day, and they are perfect. Plenty of room in the toe box and secure enough in the heel. You can loosen the laces to make them stretch across a huge top arch and a wide footprint. Holy cow, the soles are springy and comfortable. This is the perfect shoe.IMPORTANT NOTE: I did listen to the reviews and sized up 1/2 size to a 10.5 Wide. The length seems to be exactly the same as the 10 Wide in the Triumph 18s. I don’t know why ALL of the new models of tennis shoes seem to be 1/2 size smaller than previously across the board (especially Br***s). I thought maybe it was all of the extra cushioning in new models, but I don’t think this factored here. Anyway, if you’ve worn previous versions of this shoe, I highly suggest going up 1/2 size in the 19s.I am so relieved to have finally found “the one”.I attached photos for comparison (returning the gray/peach 18s).

Replaced my Hokas
I developed Plantar Fasciitis while trail running in Solomons. At that time I was training in Hoka Clifton's on the road and I felt like they were almost too soft for my injury. Because I am a loyal Clifton runner I was nervous about wearing any other shoe. I tried these on at the local Fleet Feet and was so pleased with how cushy and comfortable they were, but how I could still "feel" the road. The first frolic out I felt very little pain in my arch. They allowed my foot flexibility with support in all the right spots. When I tried my Hokas again I felt more pain. I'm also a pretty intense supinator and my shoe tread gets chewed up on the outside pretty quickly in the Hokas. I have run 250 miles on these shoes and they aren't showing the same severe wear pattern I am used to seeing in the Hokas. No, they did not cure my PF but I have been able to maintain a level of health with it in these shoes that I couldn't with the Hokas. I will definitely be keeping with the Triumphs for now

Excellent Sneaker for Comfortable Walking
I walk 3-4 miles a day, 7 days a week. My feet were killing me, pretty sure I had plantar fasciatis. I finally got fitted for walking sneakers and these were among the brands/styles recommended to me. I *immediately* got relief from my foot pain, which have never returned! I only gave it 4 stars because a hole always forms near the big toe way before the sole is worn out. I with the top of the sneaker near the toe was constructed with slightly thicker material. The thinness allows for ventilation, but holes consistently form in that area.

super confy
I work with a podiatrist who has told me to get 3 brands of sneaker. Asics, Brooks, or Saucony. I've had Asics for years and owned Brooks just once. My last purchase I've decided to get Saucony because the price was good and OMG...it was the best tennis shoes I have ever owned in my life. It is so comfortable for standing all day and going for long walks. It is soft, bouncy, and most importantly super light so you don't feel like you are dragging 100lbs in each foot. Thanks Dr. Chrzan for your expertise and for recommending such high-quality shoes! Now I can say bye-bye to legs and feet pain 👍😻

Best pair of shoes I've ever had
I have had so much trouble with my feet over the past few years, to the point of going to a Podiatrist. I have plantar fasciitis among other issues that were probably caused by wearing really high heels and/or flip flops for so many years. Anyway, I kept trying different shoes hoping that I could walk without pain but I kept hitting dead ends. I even had orthodics made from the doctor specifically for my foot and that didn't do the trick. BUT..... I kid you not, when I put these shoes on, I could not even believe how comfortable they were. On the top, on the bottom, just all over. This is the best shoe I've ever owned. Seriously! SO COMFORTABLE! I'm finally able to walk in stores, or at events, without feeling like I have to get off of my feet every few minutes. I'm so happy with these shoes. :)
