FAQs
Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 suitable for road running?
While they can be used for short road sections, the Peregrine 16 is optimized for trail running. The aggressive tread and cushioning are best suited for off-road terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult Saucony's sizing chart. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for your foot to splay naturally on uneven terrain.
Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?
Yes, as they are a neutral shoe, they can accommodate custom orthotics or insoles. Ensure your current insole is removable.
What is the benefit of the water-repellent feature?
The water-repellent upper helps to keep your feet drier during runs in wet conditions, such as light rain or running through dew-covered grass, improving comfort.
How often should I replace my Peregrine 16 trainers?
Trail running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on the terrain, your running style, and frequency. Look for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole cushioning.
Do these shoes offer ankle support?
The Peregrine 16 is a low-cut trail shoe and does not provide specific ankle support. For ankle support, consider trail running shoes with a mid-cut design.
What does 'neutral shoe' mean?
A neutral shoe is designed for runners whose feet don't roll inward excessively (pronate) or outward excessively (supinate). It offers balanced cushioning and support without specific motion control features.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean and free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Feet feel damp despite water-repellent feature.
The water-repellent feature helps with splashes and light rain. For prolonged immersion in water, feet will eventually get wet. Ensure proper drying after runs. Check if the water-repellency has diminished over time and consider re-waterproofing treatments if necessary.
Discomfort or blisters during runs.
Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight feel. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Cushioning feels too firm or too soft.
Cushioning is subjective. The PWRRUN foam is designed for a balance. If it feels too firm, ensure you're adequately hydrated. If too soft, check for excessive wear. For significant issues, consult with a running specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Saucony Peregrine 16 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably; a proper fit is crucial for trail running to prevent blisters and ensure stability.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed as trail neutral shoes. They are suitable for runners with a neutral gait and are ideal for off-road running on trails, mountains, forests, and fields. They are not specifically designed for road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or washing machines, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and color.
