Avoid if	You need lateral stability from a tall platform or have wide feet, since it's a soft, tall build in standard width only.	You want a firm, responsive platform for tempo work or a low-to-the-ground feel.

Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

The ASICS Superblast 2 and Saucony Triumph 24 weigh nearly the same (249g vs 250g) with identical 43mm heel stacks, but they aim at different jobs: the Superblast 2 is the more versatile pick that handles easy miles and uptempo efforts, while the Triumph 24 is a plush daily trainer built for comfort at slower paces. Choose the Superblast 2 if you want one shoe that can also pick up speed; take the Triumph 24 if you mostly log long, easy, or recovery miles and prioritize underfoot softness over responsiveness.
