FAQs
Are the Peregrine 16 trainers suitable for road running?
The Peregrine 16 trainers are primarily designed for trail running. While they can be used for short periods on pavement, their aggressive tread pattern and cushioning are optimized for off-road conditions, which may lead to faster wear and less comfort on hard surfaces.
How do I know if the water-repellent feature is still effective?
You can test the water-repellent feature by dripping a small amount of water onto the upper material. If the water beads up and rolls off, the feature is active. Over time and with heavy use, this property may diminish.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For trail running, moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or wool blends are recommended. These help manage sweat and reduce the risk of blisters, complementing the shoe's performance.
Can I wash the Peregrine 16 trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand wash with cold water and a soft brush for best results.
What is the expected lifespan of the Vibram Megagrip outsole?
The lifespan of the Vibram Megagrip outsole depends on the frequency of use, terrain, and running style. With regular trail use and proper care, it is designed for durability, but aggressive terrain and improper cleaning can accelerate wear.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The Peregrine 16 are low-cut trail running shoes and do not provide significant ankle support. They offer stability through their design and traction, but for users requiring more ankle support, consider higher-cut models or ankle braces.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. Clean the lugs thoroughly.
Feet feel wet despite water-repellent claims.
The water-repellent feature is most effective against light moisture. For prolonged submersion or heavy rain, water may still penetrate. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize entry points.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Verify the correct size and fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Cushioning feels too firm.
The PWRRUN foam offers a balance of protection and responsiveness. If more cushioning is desired, consider using thicker or gel-infused socks. The cushioning will also adapt slightly with more wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peregrine 16 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and are compatible with varied running styles, particularly neutral gaits. They are best suited for off-road terrain such as dirt trails, gravel paths, muddy tracks, and rocky surfaces. They are not optimized for road or treadmill running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
