"Overall a good pair of shoes. I have bought a second pair that will hopefully last as long as my previous Saucony's. Time will tell."woodbldr

Quality of Construction

These are my third pair of progrid triumph shoes, I have used the progrid triumph 4, 6, and this pair of 8's. This pair of 8s sole wore out quickly, before the cushioning. This is the first pair of shoes that I have had excessive sole wear.

Fit

Eventhough I have a narrow foot (between B and D) I like the fit of these Sauconys (D width).

(4)

Comfort

These are comfortable for me. I have tried various models from Asics, Brooks, and New Balance but return to Saucony.

(3)

Adjustability

These adjust like any other running shoe, so no surprises.

(3)

Durability

I exceeded 400 miles with my pair of Progrid 4 and 6 shoes, but only obtained 300 miles with the 8s due to excessive sole wear. The black sole material was almost completely worn away on the outer edge of the shoe (left and right shoe).

(4)

Value

Overall an pretty good value with 300 miles, but my Triumph 4s and 6s have lasted more miles. The cushioning wore out on the 4s and 6s.

(4)

Appearance

Simple blue and white, nothing flashy.

(4)

Performance

Still good performance but disappointed with sole life. This pair was purchased on Jan 10, 2011 and taken out of service April 19, 2011.

Strengths

I like the support of these shoes which is why I still wear Saucony shoes. Also, a good value due to the number of miles before needing to be replaced.

Weakness

Sole life was 25% less for this pair of Triumph 8s, but it is not known if the formulation has changed or my stride. I tend to be more of a mid to forefoot striker, but based on my history with other Saucony shoes, the sole is different.
