Saucony – Triumph 22 GTX – £190.00

This waterproof version of the popular Triumph road running shoe makes a great solution for training in the wet. The Gore-Tex upper adds waterproof and breathable protection to the model without adding significant weight or reducing any of the comfort.

The cushioning is the super-responsive PWRRUN PB foam, which adds a great spring to your stride and in this, the 22^nd update, the deep stack of foam is stable and well-balanced. For those longer road runs, the shoe soaks up the road impact without soaking up the rain and is a great choice for winter running.
