Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“The Triumph 21s have different foam similar to the one in the Ride 18s, the 22s have the same foam as the Endorphin Speed line, that’s why you found the 21s to be stiffer.”— hackersapien on Reddit
“I bought the Triumph SG model yesterday when I noticed the sale. I couldn’t find any reviews or comments on the SG models. All the regular 22’s were sold out in my size.”— Difficult-Fig-6572 on Reddit
“When I tried out the 22s, I sized down a half size, as the Saucony rep said they ran a bit longer and wider than previous versions. They felt like my normal size. I would probably order the 8.5.”— dinner_for_one on Reddit
“Sacony confirmed that while it’s the same underlying foam compound, it’s tuned quite differently to the PWRRUN PB in eg the Endorphin Speed 4 and Endorphin Pro 4”— chossmemes on Reddit
“I have 5 pair of the 22’s .They have varied a touch, some being slightly longer and some shorter. However, they have all fit similarly to the 20 and 21’s.”— HaymakerGirl2025 on Reddit
“I don't have any experience with the 20s but I don't know that the Triumphs have gradually been gaining weight over the last few years so I imagine the 20s would be a good 10-15g lighter than the 22s at least.”— WorkInProgressed on Reddit
“I don’t disagree with you generally, but it sounds like their triumphs have 500 miles on them, so it’s very possible recent pains were caused in part by the shoes. Although they don’t look overly worn in the photo”— Party_Marty_326 on Reddit
“I mean the triumph isnt meant to be a speed shoe. I think nowadays with some of the do it all type shoes released we think every shoe should feel as if it has a slab of race foam.”— PBIBBY24 on Reddit
