FAQs

Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX trainers suitable for everyday casual wear?

Yes, while designed for performance, their comfort, waterproofing, and durable construction make them suitable for casual wear, especially in inclement weather or if you anticipate being on your feet for extended periods.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® waterproofing remains effective?

Regularly clean the exterior of the trainers with water and a soft brush to remove dirt that can impede performance. Avoid using bleach or solvents. Air dry them away from direct heat.

What is the difference between the GTX and non-GTX versions of the Peregrine 16?

The 'GTX' designation indicates the presence of a GORE-TEX® waterproof and breathable membrane in the upper, providing superior weather protection compared to non-GTX versions.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Hand-washing with cool water and a mild soap is the preferred method.

How long does the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole typically last?

The lifespan of the outsole depends heavily on usage, terrain, and individual gait. However, VIBRAM® MegaGrip is known for its durability and excellent grip, offering a good balance between longevity and performance on technical trails.

What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For best results, especially with the GORE-TEX® membrane, wear moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks. These help manage sweat and complement the shoe's breathability, keeping your feet drier.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite being waterproof.

Ensure the GORE-TEX® collar and laces are snug to prevent water ingress from the top. Check that the socks are also moisture-wicking. Persistent dampness might indicate a breach in the membrane over time, requiring replacement.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the VIBRAM® outsole to remove accumulated mud or debris. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn; check the tread patterns for significant degradation. For extremely slick surfaces, consider specialized footwear if these are insufficient.

Discomfort or rubbing during runs/walks.

Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Wear appropriate athletic socks. Try a period of 'breaking in' the shoes with shorter distances before undertaking long runs or hikes. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.

Shoes smell after use.

Remove insoles and air dry shoes completely after each use. Use anti-odor sprays or powders designed for athletic footwear. Machine washing is generally not recommended for waterproof trainers as it can damage the membrane.

Cons

  • Fit may not suit all foot shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Compatibility: Suitable for trail running, hiking, walking, and general outdoor adventures. They are designed for use on varied terrain, including wet, muddy, and rocky surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the trainers using a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
  3. GORE-TEX® Care: To maintain the waterproof properties, occasionally clean the GORE-TEX® membrane gently. Avoid direct contact with oils and solvents.
