No. I am happy with the Triumph, but trying to see if other viable options for a lighter weight racing shoe, because I have used the Fastwitch with success in the past I was asking about that one. But they’ve change it with several updates and it’s no longer available in the version I used. I think the Paramount is a ‘normal’ shoe, similar in weight to the Triumph, isn’t it?
Correct. The paramount and the triumph are in the same league.
Now the Tangent is a performance trainer, however it’s posted like the Paramount. Keep in mind the Tangent has a very narrow toe box (more than almost any other Saucony I can think of). Something similar with a larger toe box and a snug heel is the Mizuno Elixer (although still lightly posted) it weighs 9.9oz in a size 10 (a little more than an 1oz heavier than the FT2 Endurance and the same as a Tangent).
As others say, a great alternative to the Saucony FT 3 or 4 is from Zoot. Check out the Ultra 2.0. I find it well supportive with a more forefoot protection than the FT. Plus it has a nice carbon fiber arch piece for support and still weighs in at only 7.7oz in a size 10. Down side is it comes with a $150 price tag, but they look SWEET!
