Highly recommended. The Triumph 23 is a dream entry-level shoe for new runners. The PWRRUN PB supercritical foam delivers exceptional cushioning that effectively absorbs impact forces, reducing stress on knees and ankles. With a generous 32mm/38mm stack height, running feels plush and comfortable even for heavier runners who need maximum protection. The roomy toe box provides ample space for toes to splay naturally — important for developing running form. At 285g, the weight is manageable for beginners, and the premium dual-density insole makes every step feel cloud-like. If you're looking for a shoe that makes running genuinely enjoyable from day one, the Triumph 23 is an outstanding choice that will protect and comfort you through every mile.
