Cheap Saucony Men's ProGrid Triumph 7 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I had been running on Saucony Progrid Triumph 4 shoes for a few years now. When I got my first pair of those I liked them so much I bought a second pair so I'd have them once my first pair wore out. Well, both pairs of those have now been in service long enough and for enough miles that I needed to get a new pair of shoes. After a false start with Saucony's Wave Ride 3s, I picked up a pair of Saucony Progrid Triumph 7 shoes.

I have been running on these shoes for a few weeks now, and I can already tell a few things about them. First of all, they don't feel quite as comfortable as my Triumph 4s, especially when I'm walking. But, once I start running they feel better. I mean, they don't feel bad, they just seem to be maybe a little bit stiffer in the sole than the Triumph 4 shoes.

As far as the shoe goes, you need to buy a size larger than your usual shoes. This leaves plenty of room in the toe-box so your feet won't feel cramped when you run.

For some reason the tongue of the shoe felt a bit too thick, but I'm getting used to it. The shoe feels a lot more comfortable when I keep the laces fairly loose...just tight enough to keep the shoe on my foot when I run.

There is sufficient padding under the ball of the foot and under the heel. When I run I have a very slight heel strike, and the Triumph 7 does a good job with that. It seems like I have a few small aches in my feet when I start running, but by the time I reach about 2 miles those work themselves out and my feet feel pretty good in these shoes.

This shoe is recommended for neutral runners...that is, runners that have neither significant pronation or suppination in the ankles. That is, that their ankles neither flex inward or outward with each step. If you have either of those tendencies, you may want to look at other shoes.

I must admit that I like the bright yellow heel pads and the reflective panels on the heels and other spots on the shoes that make you easier to be seen by drivers in lower light conditions. They could be life-savers.

All in all, this is a solid shoe that should serve me well, but it does not seem to be quite as comfortable as the Progrid Triumph 4 was when I first got them. Oh well, they should work just fine for me until they wear out.

FYI I am an every other day runner, so one pair will suffice. It is recommended that if you run every day that you should have two pairs of shoes in order to give the padding in each pair suffient time to rebound after a day's running.

An average running week for me is usually between 15-20 miles, so I'm not a heavy duty runner, but good running shoes are always an excellent investment in taking care of your feet and joints.

So, as I suggested above, I do like these shoes, just not as much as I liked my old Triumph 4s, thus the 4 star rating instead of 5 stars.

I hope this was helpful.

I have had four pair of the Saucony Triumphs(5 & 6's) and was thrilled to finally have a shoe I reorder and works great for marathons. A running friend bought the Triumph 7 and warned me it was a much stiffer shoe and she was searching for a new brand. The Running Store provided the same warning that it had changed significantly. After a 20 minute test run on the treadmill it was clear Saucony decided to completely rework this shoe.

A few disclaimers first:

1) I have fairly narrow feet with normal to high arches, no stability needed.

2) I'm a 5k'er, not a marathoner, I do 20-25 miles/week.

I think these shoes are awesome. First pair of Saucony's, but after this not sure I'll go back to NB, Nike, or Asics. Fit like a glove and my feet and legs feel great after a run. Love the arch lock, heel and toe box feel great. I've heard people with flat feet complain about the shoe, but I'd surely recommend them to anyone with normal to high arches not needing a stability shoe.

I found they ran about 1/2 size small. I normally use a 10.5 and rarely an 11, I fit these at 11.

Honest reviews on Saucony Men's ProGrid Triumph 7 Running Shoe

I have high arches and wear orthotics which provide arch support and motion control. As a result, I look for running shoes which are neutral and cushioned. I have been running in the Triumph 6 shoes with success for some time. I was excited when I first started running with the Triumph 7 shoes as they felt more comfortable on my feet than the T6s. The construction of the "arch-lock" on the T6 tends to rub a bump on the top of my foot.

Unfortunately, the T7 shoes quickly began to cause me considerable pain in my left forefoot near the ball of my foot. Neither my old T6 shoes or my alternate Brooks Glycerin shoes cause this problem. I have switched back and forth between the T6s, Brooks and T7s and every time I put on the T7s, I find the issue returns regardless of how I lace the shoes. I'm not sure if this is a design issue or a defect.

Time to stock up on Triumph 6's.

I need to start by saying I have been a HUGE fan of the triumph line, but this fails to impress. I have ran several hundred miles in Saucony's over the last several months, but could barely manage a lap around the living room. The instep is TOTALLY in the wrong spot and it WILL give you blisters. Horrible!
