I'm coming from a pair of Brooks too. Actually, I've used 2 pairs of Ghost 3's over the past year (Crossfit just tears shoes up every 4-6 months) and I just wanted to check out Saucony again. I tried the Triumph 8 last year which was too heavy and had a shitty fit on me, I tried the Triumph 9 this week too which had way better fit than the 8 and is a little bit lighter too. I went with the Cortana as it had the best heel fit by far and is quite plush without feeling too mushy.
