What reviewers say
Ride
Saucony Triumph 24
Praised
Light and lively for its size, with a smooth rocker that keeps easy miles and long runs comfortable; a few find it sinks into the foam and loses snap once the pace lifts.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Praised
A smooth, gently rockered cruiser that feels natural at easy and long-run paces; it is not built for tempo work.
Cushioning
Saucony Triumph 24
Praised
Deep, plush protection that stays supportive well into long runs, and it bounces back rather than feeling like a marshmallow.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Divisive
The softer ZipFoam and tall stack provide deep protection and strong shock absorption, but lab energy return is low and the ride is firmer than the stack suggests.
Upper
Saucony Triumph 24
Divisive
Padded, breathable and roomy for most, but a couple of reviewers find the forefoot tapered or the toe box shallow, and two hit an insole squeak.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Praised
The roomy anatomical toe box, padded tongue and secure midfoot suit wide feet, though the heel can feel loose and the mesh runs warm.
Durability
Saucony Triumph 24
Praised
Generous rubber coverage and little visible wear in long-term testing, with most expecting several hundred miles.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Divisive
Outsole rubber is thick and wears slowly, but lab heel-padding durability is the lowest score in its class.
Grip
Saucony Triumph 24
Praised
Sure-footed on dry and damp roads, and lab traction testing lands well above average.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Praised
Traction is predictable on wet and dry roads; the shoe is not intended for trails.
Stability
Saucony Triumph 24
Divisive
The wide platform and sidewalls mostly keep the very soft midsole in check, but reviewers split: several call it stable for a neutral shoe, while others find the heel wobbly and rate it less stable than the Triumph 23.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Praised
A broad base, sidewalls and a firm platform give stable-neutral guidance without a medial post.
Value
Saucony Triumph 24
Divisive
Many think $170 is fair for premium foam at this weight, but a sizeable minority call it steep for a daily trainer, especially next to cheaper rivals.
Topo Athletic Topo Atmos 2
Divisive
Doctors of Running rate it excellent value, while lab reviewers think the aging foam makes $165 too high.
