Saucony - Peregrine 16 Trainers - Purple - UK 6

The standard model is designed for high breathability and drainage, meaning it is not waterproof and will allow water to escape if you step in a puddle.

While you can run on road sections to connect trails, the aggressive lug pattern will wear down faster on tarmac and feels less comfortable than a road-specific shoe.

A 4mm drop indicates that the heel is 4mm higher than the forefoot, which encourages a more midfoot-focused landing rather than a heavy heel strike.

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and use a soft brush to remove debris trapped between the lugs to maintain maximum grip.

The Peregrine 16 has a standard fit; if you have wide feet, it is recommended to try them on with your preferred trail running socks to ensure there is no pinching.

Typically, trail shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the ruggedness of the terrain you cover and how quickly the lug pattern wears down.

Adjust your lacing pattern using the 'runner's knot' (heel lock) to secure the ankle more firmly.

Consider using a trail gaiter that attaches to the shoe to prevent sand, small rocks, and twigs from entering the collar.

Ensure the outsole lugs are free of packed mud; use a soft-bristled brush to clear out the channels.
