The short answer

Want soft cushioning with gentle guidance? Get the Guide 19.

On the run

Guide 19: Gentle support, soft landing. Soft and smooth with an early rocker. The support is subtle, coming from high sidewalls and a wide base rather than a hard post, so it feels like a neutral shoe that keeps you centered.

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

Guide 19. True to size with a medium-width toebox and soft, stretchy mesh that suits most feet. Wide and extra-wide in men’s and women’s.

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.
