Bringing up the name of Saucony is to put on the table one of the most important and relevant brands in the running universe, and is that in its varied catalog of Running shoes there is a huge number of models that are reference for a large group of runners who run both on asphalt and those who venture into trail territory. There are all kinds of shoes for all types of runners, however, the number one position is occupied by the saga, as mediatic as outstanding, of the Saucony Triumph ISO. A model awarded in all its previous versions with the Editor's Choice distinction from Runners World international. Of course, the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 aims in the same direction to continue making its legend even bigger.
Compared to its predecessor, the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 does not incorporate new technological innovations from what we have already seen from the American company, but, with great success, what the Saucony designers have done is to take those same technologies to maximize their full potential in order to improve the running experience of this top of the range Saucony. That is, the most relevant changes in the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 are located in the midsole, upper and outsole of the shoe.
All in all, the idea behind this new update of Saucony 's flagship is to provide the athlete with a more flexible and responsive running shoe than its previous versions.
To begin with, the first significant change in the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 is in its midsole, where the exclusive EVERUN cushioning system makes a qualitative and quantitative leap, occupying the entire length of the midsole itself, instead of being restricted to the heel area, as was the case in the Saucony Triumph ISO 3 With this change, the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 is able to offer a more fluid and more durable cushioning despite the passage of kilometers. Thus, the feeling is much softer and more dynamic underfoot.
On the other hand, another novelty to take into account in the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 is located in its upper, since, although the characteristic ISOFIT system of the Kutztown (Pennsylvania) brand is still incorporated, it has been updated. Its raison d'être is to provide a more pleasant fit, and therefore more comfort, and notably more dynamic than in previous models. Of course, the Engineered Mesh also contributes to this comfort section. Undoubtedly, an added plus.
In the outsole, the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 has also been redesigned with new flex grooves in the rubber rubber, which, working together with the EVERUN, results in a more flexible shoe that adapts better to training surfaces.
All this conglomerate of modifications has made the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 a slightly heavier shoe than its previous version. They weigh 306 grams for the men's model and 266 grams for the women's version, with a drop of 8 millimeters288 mm in the heel and 20 mm in the forefoot). Even so, the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 is still among the lightest shoes in its segment.
Of course, the hallmarks of the Saucony Triumph ISO 4 are still in force: offering maximum cushioning to cover more miles, easily and more quickly. And always keeping in mind all runner profiles, from the lightest to the heaviest.
