Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Peregrine 16 trainers are designed for adult female runners tackling rugged outdoor terrain. Their key benefit is confident grip and smooth cushioning, allowing for free movement on any adventure. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy rain might still lead to wetness. These shoes offer a medium cushioning level with a neutral support design, enhanced PWRRUN foam for comfort and protection, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole for superior traction in all conditions. They are ideal for trail running, off-road adventures, and challenging trail training.

FAQs
Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 trainers waterproof?
The Peregrine 16 features a water-repellent upper, which helps keep your feet dry from light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy water may result in moisture ingress.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are specifically designed for rugged trail running and off-road adventures. They excel on dirt, mud, gravel, and rocky surfaces due to their aggressive outsole and cushioning.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While you can run short distances on roads, these shoes are optimized for trail performance. Their lugged outsole and cushioning are best suited for uneven natural terrain, and they may feel less efficient or durable on pavement.
How do I clean my Peregrine 16 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with cold water and mild soap. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
Is the cushioning suitable for long-distance trail running?
The enhanced PWRRUN foam provides medium cushioning, which is generally suitable for long-distance trail running. However, personal preference for cushioning varies; ultra-runners may prefer maximum cushioning.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Peregrine 16 is designed with a women's specific fit, which typically accommodates a standard width. For very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts for specific width information.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram Megagrip outsole?
The Vibram Megagrip outsole provides exceptional grip and traction in both wet and dry conditions, ensuring stability and confidence on challenging and varied terrain.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean. Mud and debris can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Vibram Megagrip. Rinse off the soles after use if they become heavily soiled.
Feet feel wet after running in rain.
The Peregrine 16 is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For extended periods in heavy rain, some moisture may penetrate. Consider waterproof socks or alternative footwear for extremely wet conditions.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and snugly but not too tight. If discomfort persists, the shoes may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter walks before attempting long runs.
Traction seems poor on smooth surfaces.
These shoes are optimized for trail grip. Their aggressive tread pattern may feel less secure on very smooth, hard surfaces like polished concrete or asphalt. Use them primarily on their intended terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peregrine 16 trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a proper fit. The lacing system allows for adjustment to suit your foot shape and preference.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and off-road use. They are compatible with various trail surfaces including dirt, mud, rock, and gravel. They are not optimized for road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
