Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX trainers are versatile and can be used for everyday walking and general outdoor activities, offering comfort and protection.

How do I maintain the GORE-TEX® waterproofing?

Clean the shoes gently with mild soap and water, and allow them to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or direct heat. Periodically, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain performance.

What type of terrain are the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsoles best for?

The VIBRAM® MegaGrip is designed for exceptional grip on both wet and dry rocky or trail surfaces, providing reliable traction across a wide range of conditions.

Can I use these for hiking long distances?

Absolutely. The PWRRUN cushioning and lightweight design are intended to provide comfort and support for extended use, making them suitable for long-distance hiking.

What is the primary advantage of the GTX in the product name?

GTX stands for GORE-TEX®, indicating that these trainers feature a waterproof and breathable membrane that protects your feet from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to Saucony's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's generally recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on, especially with the socks you plan to wear, is the best method.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet.

Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and not compromised by damage. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. If the issue persists after multiple uses and proper drying, the waterproofing may be diminished.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.

Clean the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole of any accumulated mud or debris, as this can significantly reduce grip. Ensure the shoes are not worn out; lug wear can affect traction.

Discomfort or pressure points.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that laces are adjusted appropriately. Break-in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before attempting long trail runs.

Shoes feel excessively warm.

This is common with waterproof footwear in warm, dry conditions. Consider using moisture-wicking socks. For activities in consistently hot and dry climates, a non-waterproof alternative might be more comfortable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® protection.
  • Superior grip and stability on diverse surfaces with VIBRAM® MegaGrip.
  • Responsive cushioning for comfort and shock absorption.
  • Lightweight construction enhances performance and reduces fatigue.
  • Versatile for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes in hot, dry conditions.
  • Specific fit may vary; trying them on is recommended.
  • VIBRAM® MegaGrip is optimized for varied terrain and might offer less specialized grip on extremely muddy or rocky single-track compared to specific trail shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box with no specific setup required. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your Peregrine 16 GTX trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® is durable, avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could compromise the membrane. For extended waterproofing, consider using a specialized footwear waterproofing spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
