FAQs
Are the Peregrine 16 GTX suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the durable construction, excellent traction, and cushioning make them well-suited for both trail running and hiking.
How do I know if these shoes are the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting.
Will my feet get too hot in the GORE-TEX® lining?
GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit is designed for breathability. While it's waterproof, it allows perspiration vapor to escape. In extremely hot and humid conditions, any waterproof shoe might feel warmer than a non-waterproof one.
How often should I clean my trail running shoes?
It's best to clean them after particularly muddy or dirty runs to maintain the materials and prevent buildup. Regular spot cleaning will also help preserve their condition.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash trail running shoes, as this can damage the adhesives, materials, and waterproofing components. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the primary advantage of the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole?
The Vibram® MegaGrip outsole provides superior grip and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, including rock, mud, and dirt, enhancing stability and confidence on technical trails.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or seams. If the shoe itself is submerged, water will eventually enter. This issue might also arise if the internal sock liner or insole is saturated.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole of any mud, debris, or oil buildup. Ensure the rubber has not worn down significantly, which can reduce grip.
Discomfort during runs
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running to prevent friction.
Shoes feel stiff or inflexible
The shoes will become more flexible with use. Initial stiffness is normal, especially with the waterproof membrane. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peregrine 16 GTX requires no special setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size and fit. It is ready to wear right out of the box for your trail adventures.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running and hiking. While they can be worn for light walking on paved surfaces, their aggressive outsole and trail-specific features are best suited for off-road environments.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive abrasive materials that could compromise its integrity. For continued water repellency on the exterior, occasional specialized fabric treatment sprays can be used, following product instructions.
