admit. The colors\u2014light blue, mauve, and pale gray\u2014aren\u2019t too exciting. But as soon as I slipped my feet into these shoes and took a few steps, I instantly understood why the shoes have been receiving 5-star reviews across the board.<\/p>\n<p>First, some details: The Saucony Triumph RFG is the sustainable sister to the OG <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D104860X1561639%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3DSTMSSY-714409%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.saucony.com%252Fen%252Ftriumph-21%252F56660W.html&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fsaucony-triumph-rfg%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.saucony.com\/en\/triumph-21\/56660W.html\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-aff-intermediate=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=104860X1561639&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=STMSSY-714409&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saucony.com%2Fen%2Ftriumph-21%2F56660W.html\">Saucony Triumph<\/a>, a fan-favorite shoe year after year which boasts the American Podiatric Medical Association\u2019s coveted Seal of Acceptance. The big difference between the two styles is that the RFG (short for Run For Good) iteration is made with sustainable materials, including a 55 percent corn-based PWRRUN BIO+ foam and an 80 percent natural rubber outsole, not to mention plant-based dyes for the coloring.<\/p>\n<p>Materials aside, the Triumph RFG and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-20-review\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-20-review\/\">original Triumph<\/a> feel very similar, both featuring breathable fabric uppers, cozy, foot-hugging padded interiors, and a cushy heel-to-toe offset designed to propel you through your runs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-rfg\/\" current-title=\"Saucony\u2019s Sustainable Triumph RFG Shoes Are So Comfortable They Just Might Transform Me Into a Long-Distance Runner\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AW23_Triumph-RFG_Lifestyle_W_06-3-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-05-04\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-rfg\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-rfg\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/saucony-triumph-rfg\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I got the Mist colorway (a super pale gray) in a women\u2019s size 10.5.

Then, after jogging in them, I realized these sneakers could very well transform a slow, short-distance runner (like myself) into a run-lover capable of logging miles on end. Seriously, they\u2019re that comfortable. At no point did they chafe any part of my sensitive feet, nor did they trigger any blister alarms (I can usually tell right away if a shoe is going to wreak havoc on my heels).<\/p>\n<p>The Saucony Triumph RFG sneakers are lightweight and breathable, and encourage forward momentum with a light bounce. The traction is stable and supportive. Whether I was running on a treadmill or on pavement, I never feel like I was going to slip in these sustainable sneaks.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I didn\u2019t feel like they inspired me to sprint. These wouldn\u2019t be the kicks I\u2019d recommend when you\u2019re looking to pick up the pace. I\u2019d suggest sticking to easy to moderate efforts here.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since they\u2019re made with knit fabric uppers that look and feel untreated, I don\u2019t think they\u2019d be a great footwear choice for misty or rainy days.<\/p>\n<h2>Are the Saucony Triumph RFG running shoes worth it?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for sneakers that will encourage you to keep running or comfy everyday shoes, the Saucony RFG running shoes are worth checking out. Literally the only things I\u2019d change about them are the colors they\u2019re offered in (I prefer bright hues and colorblock options) and their resistance to water. Any other time, though, they\u2019re an incredibly comfortable pick.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
