The Peregrine 16 GTX is designed for comfort straight out of the box due to its PWRRUN cushioning. However, wearing them for shorter runs initially can help them fully conform to your foot shape.

For best performance, especially with the Gore-Tex membrane, wear moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend running socks. Avoid cotton socks, which can hold moisture.

Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned. Check for any damage to the shoe upper or membrane. Prolonged submersion may still allow some moisture.

The Gore-Tex membrane prioritizes waterproofing, which can slightly reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks and ensure the shoes fit well to allow some air circulation.

The enhanced PWRRUN cushioning offers comfort but may reduce ground feel for some runners. If this is a concern, consider if a less cushioned trail shoe might be a better fit for your specific preference and terrain.
