Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX Hiking Shoes - Black - UK 8.5

The Peregrine 16 GTX is designed with a standard fit. While comfortable for many, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking reviews regarding fit.

The UK 8.5 size is listed for this specific variant. It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to Saucony's official size chart or try on shoes to confirm the best fit for your foot.

Yes, the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX is also suitable for hiking due to its durable construction, traction, and waterproof features. They provide excellent support and protection on trails.

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. With proper care, the waterproof properties should last for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Avoid excessive heat or harsh chemicals which can degrade the material.

The 'GTX' designation indicates that the shoe features a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, offering enhanced protection against water and elements compared to non-GTX versions.

The waterproof feature makes them suitable for wet winter conditions. However, for icy conditions, additional traction devices might be necessary as the outsole is designed for general trail grip rather than ice.

Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly positioned to create a seal. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or excessive water ingress from the top opening.

Clean the outsole lugs to remove any packed-in debris. For extremely slick conditions, consider very slow and careful movement.

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Try different sock thicknesses. Verify the size is appropriate and allow a break-in period if the shoes are new.

The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
