Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Are the Saucony Peregrine 16 GTX suitable for everyday wear?

While designed for trail running, their comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in wet or unpredictable weather. However, their aggressive tread pattern might feel less ideal on smooth indoor or pavement surfaces.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® upper?

You can clean the GORE-TEX® upper with a soft brush and cool water. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and never use a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.

What is the main advantage of the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole?

The VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole is renowned for its exceptional traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, thanks to its specific rubber compound and aggressive lug design, ensuring stability on challenging trails.

Will these shoes keep my feet completely dry in heavy rain or puddles?

The GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit upper provides best-in-class waterproof protection against rain and shallow water. However, if submerged for extended periods or if water enters over the ankle collar, your feet may get wet.

What is the benefit of the 4mm offset?

The 4mm offset provides a balanced feel between being connected to the ground and having sufficient cushioning and protection. It encourages a more natural foot strike compared to higher offsets, while still offering responsiveness.

Can I use these for hiking as well as running?

Yes, the rugged design, durable outsole, and comfortable cushioning make the Peregrine 16 GTX an excellent choice for hiking, especially on technical or wet trails.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the materials and waterproof properties of the GORE-TEX® membrane.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into shoes despite GORE-TEX® upper.

Ensure laces are tied securely and check for damage to the upper or seams. GORE-TEX® is waterproof, but water can enter through the ankle collar if not sealed properly or if the shoe is submerged. Ensure the shoe has been cleaned and dried properly as per care instructions.

Reduced traction on surfaces.

Inspect the VIBRAM® MegaGrip lugs for wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush. If lugs are significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discomfort or blisters during runs.

Ensure proper lacing technique for a secure but not overly tight fit. Verify the shoe size is correct and consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, break-in period might be needed, or the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Shoes feel stiff after getting wet.

Proper drying is crucial. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried away from heat. Stiffness can sometimes occur if materials dry too quickly or unevenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for all-weather trail running.
  • Superior grip and stability on diverse and challenging terrains.
  • Comfortable cushioning for long-distance efforts.
  • Durable construction built to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Lightweight feel despite the rugged features.

Cons

  • The 4mm offset may require an adjustment period for some runners.
  • While waterproof, breathability might be less than non-waterproof models in very hot conditions.
  • Aggressive lugs can feel less optimal on smooth, hard surfaces.
  • Integrated D-ring might not be compatible with all gaiter styles.
  • Higher price point typical for high-performance, waterproof trail shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. For enhanced debris protection on very rough trails, consider attaching compatible gaiters to the integrated D-Ring located near the heel.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard trail running gaiters. The shoe features a neutral support system, making it suitable for runners with neutral pronation.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and laces. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
