Saucony Triumph 24
Saucony Triumph 24: Elite tier, Buy now, high confidence — synthesized from 32 reviews across 13 creators, freshest review Oct 11, 2026.
TL;DR
The Saucony Triumph 24 is a resounding success among reviewers: a lighter, bouncier, and exceptionally comfortable max-cushion daily trainer that excels at easy and recovery miles. It's a strong return to form for the Triumph line (mention_id=7f8ce499-8a5f-443a-9e85-307e991b49a9) and one of the best in its category (mention_id=82a2d928-6f8b-41e9-8cda-b30efc598476). The main tradeoffs are a higher drop, limited propulsion, a potentially divisive softness level, and a premium price. If that profile fits your needs, most reviewers are very positive.

How we read the reviews
The verdict engine computes the grade. This section explains it — it never recomputes it.
01 · The score
89 out of 100
Built from 47 attributed opinions, weighted by creator consensus, reviewer authority, and agreement between reviewers. Recency, reach, and buzz are not score inputs. What you see here is the engine’s output, unpacked — not a second calculator. This page does not infer a score from views, recency, or the editorial stages.

Why “Buy now”
The trace evaluates raw consensus and confidence, not the score. The real BUY_NOW condition and returned values are shown here. Price is a value note, never a gate— a strong shoe keeps its recommendation even when it isn’t on sale.

The verdict reads the RAW consensus (share of creators recommending), not the score. A shoe can therefore be tier A yet CONSIDER rather than BUY_NOW when confidence is below HIGH.

What reviewers said
- Reviewers consistently praise the Triumph 24's comfort and ride quality.
- It is described as having an incredible amount of softness without being mushy (mention_id=491f669c-535e-4b52-8ca7-44f31c01d98c), and as surprisingly bouncy while towing the line between soft and firm (mention_id=069af8d3-9f69-49e5-ad1b-19ba643ea8f5).
- The weight dropped significantly to sub-9 oz (mention_id=e11e0fce-084c-4b47-87b5-f96d8e54dcdc), over half an ounce lighter than the previous version (mention_id=f156e385-d73b-473e-9bc2-018c4f0208c0).
- The ride lacks propulsion — one reviewer notes the Triumph 24 doesn't have a whole lot of propulsion from the forefoot (mention_id=4dc27b63-77c1-48d1-9a17-0dcd868031d6).
- One reviewer found the shoe crunchy and loud underfoot (mention_id=54edc226-b19e-49d1-b017-0dee3ae97834).

“I don't think this shoe is actually going to end up getting an end of the year award for me... it's the Saucony Triumph 24. It's an ATP based midsole, sub 9 oz. Like, this is like their first I think real big step in a while where it's like, no, this is a premium trainer. It's plush, it's light, it's got a good rocker”

Ryan's Running Reviews
“The Triumph 24, their max cushion allound neutral daily trainer, gets a complete redesign and a brand new type of foam. They added three more millimeters of stack height. The shoe gets roughly half an ounce lighter. And this new foam is an ATPU, which they're calling incredux. Supposed to balance being soft and energetic.”

“the Saucony Triumph 24. ... it's just it's just a solid easy day shoe now. It's it's a little bit versatile. The addition of incredible looks foam into this has made it significantly better than the the 23 which was okay ... very very comfortable easy day shoe.”

“First up, we have the Triumph 24, and this is actually coming with a major update. Quick specs on the shoe are 8.8 oz and 250 g, and then you have a 10 mm drop with 43 in the heel and 33 in the forefoot. The major change to this shoe though actually comes in the foam. This is a brand new foam called Incredurun, which is an ATPU foam that is designed for comfort.”

“back in the Saucony Triumph 24, where same thing, like you have a lot of traditional recovery elements. This can be a shoe that is going to be a recovery shoe, but it doesn't necessarily feel like it slows you down, which is my biggest knock on traditional recovery day shoes. Now, moving to the out sole, what we have here is the XT-900 rubber. And all in all, it's going to be really, really good. It's going to be really, really grippy and going to be really, really durable. You also have a traction pattern that is going to give you a little bit of extra bite. In the past, I have had some issues more kind of on the lateral heel with this rubber, but looking at this through about 30 mi, there's very, very little wear and tear. And that is also with me wearing these shoes throughout the conference, while traveling around theme parks, things like that, to where I would have expected more. And so, I do think they maybe beefed up a little bit of the durability of the outsole underfoot, which is really, really nice. As far as who's this shoe for, I think this is the type of shoe that almost anyone can include in their rotation. It is a 10 mm drop, right? So, keep that in mind. If you don't like high drop, you may not like this shoe, but I would say that this rides a little bit more similar to like an 8 mm drop. And I don't know if that's because of the softness of the foam, or maybe, you know, they sometimes brands will list something in specs, but then in actual production, the drop ends up varying from what's listed. It may be a situation where this is actually like a six or a seven or an eight mm drop. So, I I do feel like it feels like a lower drop in comparison. But if you're looking for something that is going to support you, is going to be bouncy, is not going to break the bank compared to a lot of super trainers, right? I feel like this is still a notch below super trainer, but it, you know, the ATTPU and PWRRUN foam is really, really fun, really, really bouncy, and gives you a lot of similar sensations, just maybe not with the full scale of responsiveness and speed. So, all in all, I think this is the type of shoe that anyone can enjoy, but it always comes down to personal preference.”
