Review of Saucony Women's Progrid Triumph 7 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

For past couple of week I've been trying to find the perfect shoe for getting back in shape. I believe I found it. After few orders and returns (Amazon is the greatest place on the planet) I think I found my shoe. Just enough support and comfort. I normally wear shoe size 11 M sometimes go a 1/2 larger with certain make. This shoe I had opted to order in 11.5 M and it fits fantastic. No rubbing just like walking on the cloud. Still waiting to go back to the gym to try it on the treadmill but from what I can say right now I think it will just let me fly. Too bad there is no other colors available in my size...

I love Sauconys and have worn them exclusively for years now. For some reason, I have found this pair of size 9.5 much smaller than other size 9.5 Saucony's I've worn in the past. I wish I had ordered the size 10 or even 10.5. Not sure if it applies to all shoes of this type or that I just got a small 9.5. But after reading other reviews, it seems these shoes run a little small, at least for sizes 9-10.

Best Deals on Saucony Women's Progrid Triumph 7 Running Shoe

This particular shoe is better than a lot of the ones they have out there now, but I still ended up sending them back. I followed other reviewers' advice and ordered up a half-size from my normal Saucony size, and that was the right thing to do. These do run a bit short. Also the toe box is very narrow. My second and third toe are longer than my big toe, and my third toe was still hitting the end of the shoe, even in a half size larger than my normal size due to the narrowness/pointiness. The tongue of these is too long and bulky. It gets in the way when you tie them. Also, the collar is quite bulky for an otherwise streamlined shoe. The lacing system is not great, not like my previous two pairs of Sauconys. On the plus side, they do have adequate cushioning in both the heel and ball of the foot, unlike many of their newer models that seem to have very thin padding, especially in the ball of the foot area.

Honest reviews on Saucony Women's Progrid Triumph 7 Running Shoe

Really like this newest version of the pro-grid triumph. After reading reviews was worried about fit but they fit true to size for me (women's 6 1/2 regular).

Definitely feel more 'cushiony' compared to my last pro-grid triumphs, took about 2 three mile pavement runs to sink into them, now they feel just great. That extra cushion did make it feel like my foot was tight in shoe at first but after those first two runs they feel just like my edition 6's.

Heel cup fits well and as usual lots of room in the toe box without feeling loose.

I went with this shoe instead of my usual (Asics gel Nimbus) because it was a $50 savings at the time of purchase. I won't do that again. A running magazine said it was a cushioning shoe and would be similar to the Nimbus (which run $135 right now). I basically wasted $75 because I ended up having to order the Asics Nimbus anyway. (I got them for $104, though.) If you need a cushioning shoe, I can't recommend these. I like the Saucony Progrid Ride, just not as much as the NImbus. (FYI, I am a light runner. Several miles, several times a week.)
