"On shorter distances around 50km, feet can handle more so I am more likely to go with shoes where I have better ground feel. ... So peregrine for technical terrain"
"I use Saucony Peregrines or Kinvara, both of which have a 4mm drop. ... I think the drop helps you feel the trail."
"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 believe the Peregrine to have great trail feedback in addition to the Powertrack outsole. ... I have personally had multiple pairs of Saucony trail shoes with their Powertrack outsole have every bit as good as traction as Vibram."
"Saucony Peregrine are my go to for wet rock (and mud). ... Compared to Salomon ultra glide and sense ride, way better."
"I’ve been really impressed with the peregrines. ... Used them a fair bit over the lake and some steep rocky downhills and they’ve been fab."

"The Saucony Peregrine is super comfy"

"I find the Peregrines to have the same issue with being slippery. ... when there is moisture on any single rock, tree root, or wooden bridge "WTH, are the soles coated in baby oil, they don't even think about trying to grip""
"These shoes have terrible outsoles that won't hold on any steep surface. ... if you have anything over 20% grade, goodluck. ... I made this mistake and it cost me hours during a mounrain ultra."

Marinlik 1.0I made the mistake of buying two pairs of peregrine 12 a few years ago. Both got warrantied within 100km and both 13 replacements broke immediately as well. Then they replaced them with one pair of peregrine 14 and between all of them together they lasted shorter than my peregrine 10s
MotherBeef 0.1I’d believe it. I love the feel of Peregrines but their quality control/durability is honestly pathetic. I owed 10s, 11s and 12s and whilst Peregrines were never really hitting those 600km+ durability that other shoes got, they tend to be cheap enough to make it worth while. After my 12s hardly lasted 300km I called it quits on Peregrines until I hear there are improvements to their design.
Type2Gear 0.0I loved the older Peregrine's but the new ones quality is absolute trash. I've moved over to Nnormals and don't see myself going back. Tomirs will probably fit your foot best, Kjerag is more "like" the Peregrine IMO (stiffer foam, lighter) but you may find them tight. Good luck!
zxclkjaws 0.0Ive been happy with the saucony peregrine esp now that the sole eliminated the portion which allowed for rock intrusion. Can anyone provide insight between these and asics?
000000564 0.0GTX Trail runner shoes. Personally use suacony peregrines. Ran through puddles just fine.
732 0.0If they aren't working, there isn't much you can do. I find that higher stack height shoes - the Calderas are 38mm/32mm in heel/toe - I tend to roll my ankles more and look for something closer to the ground. The Cascadias are 33mm/25mm, so your foot sits much closer to the ground, and you may be noticing this. I like Saucony Peregrines which are 28/24, about half an inch closer to the ground than the Calderas. Unfortunately, a lot of the max cushioning shoes tend to have higher stack heights. You can otherwise look for more "stable" and wider sole shoes, but too wide and your gait changes. Or, mid top boots for better stability. You can always keep the Calderas and use them on non technical trails.
Academic-Chocolate57 0.0I have brooks ghost and saucony peregrine for trail, both brilliant shoes
I have peregrines and am also doing Lakeland 50 and current plan to use my peregrines. Very comfortable shoe
Accomplished-Meal739 0.0I'm in the exact same boat. Started with the Peregrine, went to Speedboat, back to Peregrine. Have a number of pairs of both floating around. I find the Hoka stickier, but better tred (that doesn't fall apart quickly) on the Peregrine.
AmongUs14 0.0Fan 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!
analjohnson69 0.0I 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
