Saucony Triumph ISO 2

Saucony Triumph ISO 2 arrives with many changes. We will have to see if they are even too many. The Saucony Triumph ISO was already one of the best Running shoes of 2015 and the second version arrives with profound changes.

For starters the new EVERUN cushioning technology. New materials for a cushioning that adapts and adapts to the foot after landing. EVERUN is made of a foam material that provides greater reactivity and at the same time is more sensitive to impact, molding the foam to the shape of the foot.

A more flexible and dynamic sole with a new technology that cuts the sole transversely in up to 5 parts for a smoother transition.

Saucony Triumph ISO 2 Cushioning

The underfoot feel is now softer on landing and more responsive in the forefoot and toe box. Maximum cushioning for runners.

Support

Despite being a neutral shoe it has some level of pronation control. Pronation is the inward roll of the ankle during the stride cycle and toe-off.

Drop

The difference in height between the thickness of the heel and the thickness of the forefoot of the shoe is 8 mm, making the stride more fluid and more natural. An intermediate step for those looking for different running sensations. It is important to take care of the running technique.

Conclusions

• A shoe for runners up to 85 kg with maximum cushioning and greater reactivity, with a very light weight that will allow you to use them both for training and for medium and long distance races at paces even below 4:30 m/km.

• EVERUN Topsole technology allows for a softer landing with more sparkle.

• A new outsole configuration that Saucony has dubbed TRI-FLEX allows for greater flexibility and transition of foot strike and toe-off.

• ISOFIT upper for a better fit

Benefits of EVERUN cushioning technology

Reduces pressure peaks

Saucony s contribution is to incorporate the unique cushioning material, EVERUN, closer to the foot. This makes the foot adapt better to the terrain, as well as allowing the force to be distributed over a larger area. This serves to minimize pressure peaks.

Impact absorption

By including the EVERUN layer in the heel and landing area, the shoe offers greater protection against impact. As Saucony points out, the EVERUN system retains its properties up to three times better than standard EVA. Another interesting fact, according to the American brand, is that this new technology provides up to 83% energy return, which helps the athlete to run better and for longer.
