On the run

Ride 19: The bouncy, versatile value pick. Balanced cushioning with more bounce than you’d expect at this price, and a smoother rocker than before. It firms up enough when you push to handle the odd faster run.

Triumph 24: Max cushion with real bounce. Lively and bouncy thanks to Saucony’s new foam, with a balanced rather than mushy feel and a gentle rocker. It’s tall but light for its size and stays peppy when you pick up the pace.

Specs side by side

Stack, drop and weight come from each brand’s own website. Numbers marked * aren’t published by the brand and come from other published specs. Weights are for the size each brand quotes. Expected life is our estimate.

Fit

Ride 19. True to size with a roomy toebox and good heel hold. Some find the midfoot a little low, so if you’re between sizes, try both.

Triumph 24. True to size, with excellent heel lockdown. It has more volume than the 23, but the toebox measures on the snug side, so wide feet should take the wide.
