Saucony - Peregrine 13 ST

I think you can grt some deals such as old versions, off colors and get good prices on trail runners… there’s probably not a new model at full price for under 100 that would be trustworthy lol shop deals, rei resupply, backcountry etc to find solid options like the lone peaks or saucony peregrines i like alot and usually can find good prices… got a pair on amazon for 50 bucks that was the 13s which r their best year haha

The two trail runners I really like are La Sportiva Bushido 2 (except they're slightly too narrow for my toes so I can't only wear the thinnest socks and I had to stop using them for longer runs), and Saucony Peregrines (except they're a little shorter than expected so I had to size up another 0.5 compared to my road Saucony). They're both firm, lower cushioning, lower stack (6 and 4 mm) with good traction. Peregrines are infamously not durable so I wouldn't wear them all around town, just for hiking and trail rubbing, but they're very comfortable. Personally I wore them for my ultra.

Theoretically, yes, they should be better. If you're looking for a show with a ton of cushion like the Excursions I would look at Hoka. I dont over think my shoes I just use what works. I tried Peregrines and theyre light and hold up for a long time. I tried Hoka Speed Goats and they gave me blisters. So I went back to Saucony and used the Endorphin Trail. I liked those but Peregrine are lighter and I prefer light with less cushion.

The Saucony Peregrine is a great shoe if they fit your feet. They eat my heels up. Chewed my heel raw at the DC Super last year.

Peregrines are considered to not have much cushioning, they're relatively firm with good ground feel. They're not minimalist but they're low stack and low drop.

I’ve never been able to do it. I pack a slight pair of nice looking sling back flats for out and otherwise sneakers - love Brooks or saucony perrigrine if hikes will be involved. Trail shoes don’t have as much give as walking shoes though so I find it easier to walk in those.

Those are my exact two pair of trail shoes, pairs I bought specifically because I don't like cushioning. Not much out there other than barefoot shoes are as low stack as Bushidos. Peregrines DON'T have "a decent amount of cushion." Bushidos just have even less.

Peregrines were my first trail shoe - I've since moved on to more cushioned shoes, but every time I throw them back on for a run I'm always pleasantly reminded of the great ground feel and stability compared to the shoes I generally run in now. Super solid shoe and seem to follow a consistent formula through each iteration.

I own too many lol. An old pair of Saucony Peregrine that I use for trail runs or on snow during winter. A "new-ish" pair of Hoka Speedgoats that I use mainly for races. Most of my runs are on pavement, where I alternate between Asics GT-2000 and Hoka Clifton. I also own a cheap pair of YUL shoes that I use as gym/treadmill shoes. And while technically not shoes, I own an old pair of Luna sandals that I will wear for a couple of runs during the year, in the summer when it's very hot or raining a lot.

I've had both. The Exodus Ultras have more cushion. They are now my favorite trail shoe. Peregrines are good too.

I have the Glycerine and Caldera combination. The Caldera are super comfy, but I have struggled with them on technical trails and found them slippy on the downhills (when wet and muddy in the UK). I really like them as all rounder though and wear them when I am off road on a more easy run/trail. I have some Saucony Peregrine's for more technical/faster runs but having various blister problems with them so bought some Inov8 trailfly to test this weekend.

Agree with this. I like Peregrines as all round trail shoes. but i think the Mafate Speed 4 is better, and the grip in Peregrine is proper thick mud or wet rocks is not good enough

This is my opinion also! When I tried a pair of VJ's (ultra 2) I could never go back to the peregrine's

I really like my ASICS Fuji Lites but also my Saucony Peregrines! Though I find myself reaching for the ASICS first (if they are dry)

Shoes like the Saucony Peregrine, Salomon Speedcross, or Brooks Cascadia provide a good balance between road and trail performance. They are comfortable and super durable. All are within your budget, and with a bit of searching, you can likely find them at discounted prices. I’d recommend trying them on before purchasing, as trail shoes often have a specific fit that can vary between brands.

I snagged a pair for $100 on ebay and i’ve gotten 3 solid winners out of them. But yeah, shred up 2 pairs of peregrines every winter.

Trail running shoes. I have Saucony peregrines that I use for hiking, trail running, and golfing. They’re great!

Switched from the Peregrine to the Tomir (via a pair of Inov8) for the same reason, heel blisters and rubbing even though I enjoyed the speed and feel of them. Tomir have been great straight out of the box but do feel bulkier and you don't get quite the same ground feel - saying that I've not tried anything particularly technical in them yet. I'm in the UK and think they will be fine for all weather - got a run in the lake district this weekend that will hopefully test them out.

I switch 3. Cumulus, 2000s, and peregrines

I find the Peregrines to have the same issue with being slippery. But Saucony fit my feet perfect. And they are often way less expensive. So it's just a tradeoff I take. It could also be that the closeouts I get have had some of the rubber degrade over time and possibly poor storage conditions.

There are no trail shoes with a pronation-support system. Such system is counterproductive on an uneven trail and can cause problems and injuries. I am running Adrenaline and Glycerine GTS as my road shoes and have x-bionic, dynafit and saucony Peregrines as my trail running shoes. X-bionic and dynafit are relatively stable, I use a special insole in Peregrines (not from orthopedics)

I own them both, but the Brooks didn't work well for my feet, and the Peregrine was great, so those are my runners. I almost always buy last year's model, hardly the latest, it saves about 50% in cost, and the difference in shoe is hardly anything.

I don't think anyone else thinks Saucony Peregrines have "a decent amount of cushioning." Most people would never run an ultra in them for that reason (though I did, just a 50k). I have a bad ankle but my issue is rolling outwards. Saucony Peregrines feel good and secure for me as long as I do heel lock (which I do on all shoes) and tighten the laces. I feel comfortable bombing down hills in them.

I also run primarily in Kinvaras and the Peregrines are my main trail shoe. You get used to it. Like someone else said, you're usually going so much slower and if you're like me, you're also carrying a vest with first aid and food, so it doesn't really matter.

I share your love of the endorphin edge, but it’s not coming back sadly. Ride Tr, Guide Tr, Xodus and peregrine are all you’re getting from saucony as far as trail shoes go. They’re trying to pare down their lineup as they feel it’s been too saturated with different models.

I have tried GoreTex and Seal Skinz and found that shoes or socks that have a membrane end up just as wet by the end of the run because my feet get all sweaty and maybe even heavier because they don't drain for shit. As far as brands go, here is a quick review NNormal (Tomir) started falling apart after 30km. Not impressed with fit, look or durability. Hoka: SG4 fantastic shoe, had 3 pair SG 5, never felt stable in my foot ran maybe 20km before I retired them to leisure shoe. Tecton/x V1 and V2 Super comfortable shoes, dog shit in the mud but I love them on the dry days. V3 blew apart in the forefoot after only two runs. I fixed them but they are not super stable either... we see how much I end up using them in the future. Altra: Lone Peak and Olympus...meh OnClouds went straight to goodwill, Saucony: Peregeine / Endorphin Rift again not impressed with durability and no good for mud and wet roots. Speedland: GL-PDX I looove them, just yesterday I was heading up the mtn and caught my foot on some hidden rebar, this would have destroyed the toe on any other pair of shoes that I own and I was sure I would look down and see a hole... nope, not even a mark. I am greatly impressed. They drain well and have nice traction as good or better than Vibram. GS:RAR Initial impression is that they fit well and after some minor adjustments to lugs are comfortable to run in on the treadmill, nothing outside yet as I will use them in the snow with crampons and in the summer. when it is dry. No experience with Norda, I don't like how they look imo Keep in mind that wool insulates even when wet and if you are going in a long run maybe bring a dry pair along for a pit stop ? I recommend this over membranes any day. For reference I run in Southwest Norway where we get around 300 days of rain yearly. Happy Trails ????

I’m rocking some Saucony Perigrines. I’m only 4 days in, but blisters aside, they’ve been pretty comfy thus far.
