Saucony - Peregrine Series

Sorry to hear about the sprain, but yay for healing up! I use Altra trail running shoes. Love them for hiking, running, and the gym. (I see some people suggest having trail running shoes while wearing a brace for the ankle; perhaps you could consult a podiatrist.) You can sometimes find trail runners that are a bit resistant to water, which can be nice depending on weather and hiking conditions. I used to have a beautiful pair from Saucony that were drawstring. It was nice to not have to worry about re-tying laces, for example if you're experiencing swelling and need to loosen the shoes a bit. I know the difficulty of traveling light and having to find items that check multiple boxes -- wishing you luck!

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

j�ai eux la peregrine 12/13 �impeccable mais la 14 beaucoup de probl�mes ,Saucony n�a pas respect� les tailles,ducoup si fais du 44 il faut prendre 44,5.Probl�me de frottement au talon m�me avec la bonne taille.Bref elle n�est pas con�u comme �la peregrine 12 et 13 .Pouf moi celle la est un rat�

Sounds like a defect to me. I've got 375km on my pair and have run in al sorts of terrain including roads lots of snowy stuff and mine are perfect. I definitely had durability issues with my peregrines mostly in the upper but I've been shocked how well these edge have held up.

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.

And your own feet.� I wore Saucony Peregrines for my 50 k, but a lot of people wouldn't enjoy that.

Had had the peregrine and they were good for short distance but by about 13 miles in my feet were shot bc the sole was hard and the feet took a beating. I like a softer sole to cushion though.

I have >150 miles in the Tomir 2.0 and previously ran in the Xodus Ultra 1 and 2, and Peregrine 13. Also >500 miles in 2 pairs of the Endorphin Edge. Typically run on hard packed rocky trails. First 50-70 or so miles in the Tomir 2.0 felt a bit narrow in the forefoot/toebox. Not a big issue for short runs, moderately uncomfortable for longer runs. Loosening the laces helped a bit. After 70 miles, the insole has packed down and the upper fabric has loosened so they are generally fine for me on longer runs. I know it's not a case of my feet acclimating to being squeezed because my road shoes were squeezing my feet the whole time until I replaced them recently with the wider Mount to Coast R1. I've done several 20+ mile >4,000 foot runs in the Tomir 2.0 with some moderately technical sections, no width related issues anymore. The cushioning is on the firm side and took some getting used to. Endorphin Edge generally felt like a straight upgrade to the Xodus, lighter and faster feeling at higher paces. Some reviewers reported stability issues but I suspect it's due to (1) the Endorphin Edge being too wide for people who run in Hokas and Nikes, (2) high/max stack, and (3) the Endorphin Edge's plate. In my use, I had to slow down slightly on the looser and more technical downhills particularly when making turns but was notably faster with less effort and more comfort everywhere else. Main downside is that it's a struggle for me to get 300 miles out of a pair because the outsole peeled where the cutouts are, and that the outsole material itself doesn't flex well so I've lost chunks of outsole. It was worth the money when on sale but might be harder to find now. I just pre ordered the Mount to Coast T1 and am hoping it will be a good ultra shoe for me. I've had their R1 road shoes for some time and it fits and runs well for me.

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.

I switch 3. Cumulus, 2000s, and peregrines

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 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.

You�re right. I have xodus 4 and peregrine. If only they puts Vibram into peregrine will be a great shoes. Ride TR is a door to trail shoes..

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.

I have big wide feet 12 (4E) on my road shoes, I have found that going up a size in Saucony Peregrine gives me the width that I need. I have yet to find a wide fit trail shoe in my local running stores. I try Atlra as they are supposed to have a bug toe box, but they don�t work for me.

Have you tried Peregrines? Curious how they compare. I run Altra pretty exclusively but picked up a pair of Saucony Peregrines and they feel super slick to me.

I only got 180mi on my Peregrine 15s before the inside stitching around the heel split and the shoe lost all of it's structure. SG5s also didn't last long for me (the upper splits where it meets the midsole), but were great for the first 200mi. I'm onto Mount To Coast T1s and enjoying the combination of toe box width, traction, and stability (despite being a decent stack height of PEBA).. will report back on the longevity in a couple months.

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.

Saucony has a nice range, eg the Peregrine 15 (Wide). I also think they're naturally wide, eg A Saucony 14 is wider than an Adidas 14 (just picked Adadas as an example brand).

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.

At $200 and difficult to find now, I'm cheap and save mine for races and a few long runs with speed work. Otherwise, it's older models of the Peregrine for training. ??

I�m hoping to get some suggestions from other runners with wider feet. I absolutely loved the original Saucony Xodus Ultras, but I�ve finally run through my stockpile and need to find a new go-to trail shoe. �About me: I�m a heavier runner (200lbs) with wider feet, so I need a good toe box and enough room in the midfoot (too snug and I end up with pain after longer runs.) �Here�s what I�ve tried recently: * Altra Experience Wild - Good fit, enjoying these so far. * Topo Ultraventure 4 - Also a solid fit, no complaints. * Topo MNT Racer 3 - Too narrow in the midfoot, caused discomfort after a 10-miler. * Saucony Xodus Ultra 3 - Unfortunately too narrow overall for me. * Peregrine 12's (wide) - Good for technical routes and quicker paces. �I�m open to rotating a few models for different distances and terrain. I�m curious about the following shoes but am open to other suggestions. Not a big fan of zero drops. Have caused calf issues in the past. * Brooks Catamount / Caldera / Cascadia * North Face Altamesa 500 * Norda 001 * NNormal Tomir 2.0 �Would love to hear from anyone with similar need, especially if you�ve found a solid Xodus Ultra alternative that works for wider feet. Bonus points for shoes that can handle longer miles or varied terrain.

I'm on my third pair of Endorphin Edges and that's how my first pair looked after around 160 miles/257 km mainly on dry rocky US southwest trails. My second pair looked better at the same level of use on the same trails. My third pair is around 100 km and looks to be close to my second pair. I took them out to 300 miles but was more careful on traction for the last bit. Similar results on both pairs of my Xodus Ultra 2s and Peregrine 12. So normal for Saucony but on the lower end for trail shoes in general. What is particularly concerning for me was the damage and peeling from the outsole cutouts and straight up losing chunks of outsole lugs as opposed to having them wear down like in other shoes. It's a shame, because I love the fit of the Endorphin Edge and it's otherwise very durable in the upper and midsole since I retired them from harder trails but still use them for easier trails and roads. I hope Saucony addresses this and was surprised to see their trail line wane after 2020-2023.

That's a way higher stack than Peregrines which is the opposite of OP needs.

Fan of peregrine and even had those older model exodus (the tanks!) and liked them, but something didn�t click for me in the Xodus Ultra. Really wanted to love them. But I just always felt flat running in them, and failed to get a lockdown fit. Nowadays prefer shoes with a bit more flexibility too. Such an odd experience considering the rave reviews! Glad they worked out for someone though!

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

There isn't a best because user preferences and characteristics vary so you really gotta try them. Even then, some shoes fit and perform notably differently when new vs when you have 50 miles in them. I like the Peregrines but go for the Endorphin Edge and Rift when I want more cushioning and the Nnormal Tomir 2 when I want better grip. My Peregrines have nearly 250 miles of very rough terrain on them so they're about toast.

Bit late to the party, but the Craft Pure Trail for me. Saucony Peregrines as a close second for more nimble/technical terrains.

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.

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 have ~100 miles in the Tomir 2 and ran extensively in the Endorphin Edge, Peregrine, Xodus Ultra, and Speedgoat. For me, the Tomir 2.0 is most like the Peregrine but with better traction. I wouldn't use the Peregrine in anything over a marathon and ditto with the Tomir 2.0. The main selling point of the Tomir 2 to me is better traction and overall shoe life (remains to be seen) since my Peregrines were done after 270 miles on my usual rocky trails. Of these, I like the Endorphin Edge the most and used it for my recent races and long runs. Outsole life and traction need improvement though, I've straight up lost chunks of outsole.

I moved from the Peregrine to the Fuji lite 4 and won�t go back any time soon. The grip and feel are similar, but the mid sole of the Asics are nicer and the comfort unmatched. I couldn�t be happy with the Fuji Lite.

Saucony Peregrine 13. They just made running seem so... Fun?

Peregrine good for short run (20-25km) technical or muddy terrain. Bushido are similar but better on dry terrain.

ran my first trail race in the Peregrine 13. they're great on the muddy and rocky terrain

Yep same. I can vouch for durability - great shoe, underrated!

I�m a wide footed beast, 4E width, I wear Saucony Peregrine and upsize a half size.

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 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 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.

I would go to another store and see what they have. I am a similar build to you, and I have wide feet, I�ve found that Saucony Peregrine work for me.
