FAQs

Are the Peregrine 16 GTX shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, which is a waterproof and breathable membrane designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape.

How does the Vibram MegaGrip outsole perform?

The Vibram MegaGrip outsole provides exceptional traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, excelling on challenging terrain like rocks, mud, and loose dirt.

Is the cushioning suitable for long-distance trail running?

The increased PWRRUN cushioning offers enhanced comfort and protection, making it well-suited for longer trail efforts by absorbing impact and reducing fatigue.

Can I use these shoes for road running?

While they can be used for short road sections to connect trails, they are specifically designed for off-road terrain. The aggressive tread may wear faster on pavement and provide a less optimal experience than road-specific shoes.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony and consider wearing the type of socks you typically use for trail running when trying them on. A snug fit with room for toe splay is generally recommended for trail shoes.

What is the difference between this and non-GTX versions?

The GTX version includes a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof and breathable protection, making it ideal for wet conditions. Non-GTX versions typically offer more breathability but lack waterproofing.

How often should I replace my trail running shoes?

Trail running shoes generally last between 300-500 miles, but this can vary based on terrain, running style, and shoe care. Signs of wear, such as reduced cushioning or grip, indicate it's time for replacement.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into the shoe despite GORE-TEX

Ensure the shoe is properly tied and that no part of the sock or pant leg is creating a channel for water to enter over the ankle collar. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.

Traction issues on slippery surfaces

The Vibram MegaGrip outsole is designed for superior grip, but extremely slick conditions may still pose challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can impede traction. Replace the shoes if the tread is significantly worn down.

Discomfort or hot spots during runs

Ensure the correct sock thickness is used and that the lacing is adjusted properly for your foot shape. A short break-in period is recommended. If persistent, consider if the shoe size or width is appropriate.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and free of debris. The GORE-TEX membrane's breathability can be affected by internal build-up. Avoid wearing non-breathable socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. For optimal performance, it's recommended to wear them on a short run to get a feel for the shoe before embarking on long adventures.

Compatibility: The Peregrine 16 GTX is suitable for all types of adult female runners tackling varied trail conditions, from groomed paths to technical, rugged terrain.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
