FAQs
Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
While they offer comfort and durability, the Peregrine 16 GTX is specifically engineered for trail running. For everyday wear, their aggressive outsole and technical features might be unnecessary and could wear down faster on hard surfaces.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove loose mud. For tougher grime, rinse with cool water and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Will my feet get hot in these shoes because of the GORE-TEX®?
The GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. While no waterproof membrane is as breathable as an unlined shoe, these are engineered to manage moisture effectively and keep your feet comfortable during runs.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole?
The Vibram® MegaGrip outsole provides exceptional traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, offering reliable grip on a wide variety of challenging trail conditions, from slick rocks to loose dirt.
How much cushioning do these shoes offer?
The Peregrine 16 GTX features increased PWRRUN cushioning, which provides enhanced comfort and protection for longer runs and impact absorption on technical terrain.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
Yes, the features that make them excellent for trail running, such as waterproofing, grip, and cushioning, also make them a very capable option for hiking on varied terrain.
What does 'GTX' stand for in the product name?
'GTX' indicates that the shoe features GORE-TEX® technology, meaning it is waterproof and breathable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering around the tongue. Check that the GORE-TEX® membrane has not been compromised. If water is entering from the top, consider using gaiters. Also, ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can retain moisture.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
The Vibram® MegaGrip outsole is designed for versatility, but extremely specific conditions (like thick, slick mud or polished ice) may challenge any tread pattern. Ensure the outsole is free from packed-in debris. For icy conditions, consider specialized ice traction devices if necessary.
Discomfort or hotspots during runs
The shoe may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit might not be optimal for your foot type.
Waterproofing seems to have decreased over time
GORE-TEX® membranes are durable but can degrade with extreme abrasion or improper care. Ensure the shoes are cleaned according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents. If the issue persists after cleaning, the membrane may be nearing the end of its effective lifespan for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly before your first run. For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking trail running socks.
Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, rinse the shoes with cool water and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or use high heat, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
