FAQs
Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the Peregrine 16 GTX is specifically engineered for trail running and hiking. Its aggressive outsole and specialized features are best utilized in outdoor, off-road environments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel isn't slipping and there's no pinching or excessive pressure on the sides of your feet.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the Gore-Tex waterproof membrane.
How long does the Gore-Tex waterproofing last?
The Gore-Tex membrane is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can be prolonged by proper care. Avoid abrasive cleaners and heat. Over time, with heavy use, the waterproof properties may gradually diminish.
What is the difference between the Peregrine 16 and the Peregrine 16 GTX?
The primary difference is the GTX model's inclusion of a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing and enhanced breathability, making it suitable for wet conditions. The standard Peregrine 16 typically offers slightly more breathability in dry, warm weather.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles if desired for personalized cushioning or arch support.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact. Check for damage to the shoe upper or seams. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may have failed. Ensure laces are tied properly to maximize the gaiter effect.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram Megagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded mud or debris. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear. If wear is significant, consider replacing the shoes.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better suit your foot shape. If the shoe is new, allow for a break-in period. Consider wearing thicker or different types of socks.
Shoes feel excessively warm
While Gore-Tex is breathable, in very hot and humid conditions, some heat buildup is possible. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For extremely hot weather, consider a non-waterproof trail shoe option.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip on diverse surfaces due to Vibram Megagrip.
- Waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex keeps feet dry and comfortable.
- Increased cushioning provides enhanced comfort on longer distances.

- Suitable for a wide range of trail conditions.
Cons
- The enhanced cushioning might feel less 'connected' to the ground for some runners.

- The cream color may show dirt more readily on trails.
- Gore-Tex lining can sometimes reduce breathability in very hot, dry conditions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It's recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to get accustomed to the fit and feel.
Compatibility: The Peregrine 16 GTX is designed for trail running and hiking on varied terrains. It is compatible with most standard running socks. The waterproof Gore-Tex membrane is designed to work with breathable sock materials.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Remove insoles if possible and allow 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 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
