FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
The Peregrine 16 GTX is specifically designed for trail running. While they can be worn on roads for short distances, their aggressive tread and cushioning are optimized for off-road performance. For extensive road running, a dedicated road shoe is recommended.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
After use, let the mud dry slightly, then brush off the excess with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use cold water and a mild soap with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Will my feet get hot in these waterproof shoes?
The GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology is designed to be both waterproof and breathable, helping to manage moisture. However, in very hot and humid conditions, any waterproof shoe may feel warmer than a non-waterproof alternative. Pairing them with moisture-wicking socks can enhance comfort.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole?
The Vibram® MegaGrip outsole provides exceptional grip and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, making it ideal for technical trails where traction is critical.
How does the PWRRUN cushioning compare to previous models?
The Peregrine 16 GTX features *increased* PWRRUN cushioning, offering enhanced comfort and protection for longer efforts compared to previous versions.
What is GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology?
GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit is a construction method that integrates the GORE-TEX® membrane directly into the shoe's upper for a flexible, low-profile, and comfortable fit, while providing reliable waterproof and breathable protection.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®.
Ensure the shoe's laces are tied properly and the tongue is positioned correctly to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Sweat can also contribute to dampness; ensure the socks used are also moisture-wicking.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole to remove any packed mud or debris that could be hindering grip. Ensure the shoe is the appropriate fit for the terrain; this shoe is designed for technical trails.
Discomfort during long runs.
Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure laces are tied correctly without being too tight or too loose. The PWRRUN cushioning is designed for comfort, but personal foot anatomy and running style can influence perceived comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off excess dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid using petroleum-based products or solvents on or near the shoes, as they can compromise the waterproof properties.
