I’ve tried them and found the toe box tight. You’ll definitely notice it if you try them and some other shoes that are wider (the Triumph 21 for example).
I can't understand why companies do that thing with eyelet. Why do they want to reinvent the wheel; Every time I saw something like that, sometimes it's a deal breaker. Normal eyelets, and it's just fine!!!
loved the ride 16...honestly dont mind the pwrrun EVA foam. only gripe is it becomes super firm in the cold. I have about 300 miles on my triumph 20s. I like them a lot but they just feel awkward for my biomechanics so Im glad the ride 17 is returning with a little more pep and an 8mm drop
It seems like a nice shoe. I think there are so many great shoes on discount right now that you can get cheaper though. Triumph 20 is on discount. Triumph 21 likely to go down soon. I've seen the Deviate Nitro 2 heavily discounted.
I had to return Ride 17's becuase fit was WAAY bigger/looser/longer than my beloved Triumph 20's... Waiting for the exchange return to come back for a half size smaller to see how that goes. Did anyone else experience this? Or is it more that Triumph 20 range weren't true to size?? I had 2 pairs and both were perfect fit
I have both the Ride 17 and Triumph 21, and the Ride 17 is wider across both the toe box, and tread at the forefoot. The Triumph fits me very well, the Ride 17 doesn't; I'll be sending the Ride 17 back.
both shoes have a different drop for one. 8mm in ride vs 10mm in triumph which if youre not a heel striker, a lower drop might be better for your biomechanics. Also i think it,s a slightly different pwrrun plus material in the ride.
