Back to the future
By CWilson
In 2007, Nike tried to pull a fast one on us to make space for its Nike+ pod. It split the legendary single 'air' cushion that ran the entire length of the classic Air Pegasus into two cushions to make space for the transponder unit, thereby fundamentally changing the structure of the shoe (it took me ages to find this out). I am a marathon and ultra marathon runner and the change to one of my favorite shoes of all time was not lost on my feet and forced me to look elsewhere for another shoe. The Progrid Triumph came to my rescue as a neutral well-cushioned shoe in which I could run hundreds and hundreds of miles comfortably. All was well and I went through numerous pairs of Triumphs happy as a lark. That is, until the Triumph 7 came along. I bought the shoe thinking I knew exactly what I was getting, but it wasn't two runs before I knew I simply couldn't use the shoe for any serious distances. And this is not a cheap exercise to buy a high-end shoe and find you can't use it. Once again, I went looking elsewhere for a well-cushioned shoe and found what I was looking for in the Asics Gel Nimbus 12. Another beautiful shoe to run serious miles in. After recently reading a review of the Triumph 8 and seeing similar views of the 7, I decided to give it one more shot as I needed a replacement pair. I just received the shoes and went for a run today. The Triumph 8 has now shot back to the top of my favorite shoe list already and beats even my beloved Asics. In my opinion, it's back to being what it was before the 7. The return to softer cushioning, particularly in the heel, provides just a superior ride to the 7 and makes my feet very happy. If any Saucony product managers are browsing these reviews, can you guys please just stop messing with great shoes that meet particular needs in the name of innovation and progress? I can happily recommend this shoe to any neutral runner looking for a luxurious, well-cushioned shoe that will give you many miles. Thanks Saucony for renewing my faith, at least as long you don't go screwing this shoe up again.

A proven running shoe
By Andrey Zubkov
The Triumph 8 feels a lot like Triumph 6, which felt much like Triumph 4, which to me is the holy grail of running shoes. Every iteration leaves 95% of the past intact, while making very slight changes here and there.The shoes have superior cushioning. If the past versions are any indication, the softness lasts a while. In my case, the cushioning helps alleviate lots of little toe and arch aches and pains that I've experienced with other shoes. They're very light and have that nice, tight feeling around the arch. The light mesh lets you keep cool during long runs.As they say, if it's ain't broke, don't fix it. In my case, I'm sticking with the Triumph for long distance runs because it's a solid shoe that I used to train over the last 5 years.

ProGrid Triumph 8
By Tom K. Terry
I have been a very long time Saucony user. I am 60+, 5'11", 203#, pretty fit and jog for cardiovascular exercise purposes. Sauconys have been great, until the last few pair. Recent prior versions of shoes recommended by the Saucony web site for ultra cushioning have not performed up to expectations. Reviews I read for the ProGrid Triumph 8 said recent predicessors were lacking but the ProGrid Triumph 8 was better and more comparable to previous shoes. I agree, mostly. The ProGrid Triumph 8 is better than the previous 2-3 pair I obtained, but, still not as cushioned as I need or as I remember previous Saucony products. Now, part of this could be my aging, but, I think Saucony has slipped a little. I will remain a loyal customer for at least one or two more tries though.
