"Grip is always insane ... i even thought “wow, i feel myself like some offroad truck now”, while i was running through mix of wet slippery mud, leaves, wet grass etc."
"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."

"peregrines just hit the spot, i’ve almost immediately started enjoying running first time in my life (despite vast sports background) in any conditions, in any weather, on any terrain, in any time of the year."

"didn’t roll my ankle a single time on the same trails my ankle was rolling in the hoka challenger. ... I’m loving the peregrines so far!!"
"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."
"great ground feel"

"My feet don’t hurt in them ... they’re comfortable ... I know the biggest thing I don’t have to worry about are my shoes and whether my feet will be killing me half way through, because I know they won’t be."
"they fit me really well"
"I have Saucony Peregrines and like them. ... They're a relatively low stack height shoe, but have been plenty comfortable with my heavy (45 lbs with food and water) pack. ... Have done 12 mile days and feet felt great at the end of the day while my friends in hiking boots are always breathing a huge sigh of relief when pulling off their boots at camp."

"Took them to Chamonix last year and they felt horrible - too much ground feel."
"I cannot claim it was the shoes, but I had severe knee pain after a few hour run in them, as well as aggravated peroneals. I had to take few days off and was able to sustain similar training load soon after, while wearing different shoes."
"had some real, uhm, "challenges" with my knee (very swollen) after my last 100 ... feel like I might need a bit more "cushion" for a 100 ... I've had horrible knee swelling after a 100 in Challengers and obviously that could be from a lot of different things BUT I wondered if a bit more cushion might help mitigate the issue."

"And then during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."
"they are not sturdy. ... Actually, I think I’m on my 5th pair in 2 years and I am a weekend overnight backpacker. ... I’ve had the treads come loose less than 15 miles out of the box. ... Their durability is crap to the point it’s hard to believe a legit company accepts this as their product."
"They’re dogshit for rocky terrain with mesquite and cacti around. ... The bottom of the sole is 95% foam and cactus thorns and mesquite spines will go right through them into your feet, ask me how I know lol. ... An absolute no-go for rugged hikes in the desert."

"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""
"The saucony peregrine have to be the worst performing shoes on wet rock I have ever used. ... Idk if it’s their rubber or the lugs but they are so slippery"
"When I have taken them to the east coast I thought I was going to die sliding on all the rocks."

"heel is not great as it doesn't really hug down on your feet and lets debris get in, and in the worst of cases, rubs on Achilles heel when running downhill"
"heels get blisters."
"I tried 2 different pairs trying to get a better fit ... when I did that with Nordas I found that it was still a tad too short/tight ... when i half sized up again the heel rub was insane ... I'm kind of shocked they haven't addressed it in a minimal update."

"Saucony n’a pas respecté les tailles,ducoup si fais du 44 il faut prendre 44,5."
"just a little narrow in the toe box"

Advanced_Scallion315 1.0j’ai eux la peregrine 12/13 impeccable mais la 14 beaucoup de problèmes ,Saucony n’a pas respecté les tailles,ducoup si fais du 44 il faut prendre 44,5.Problème de frottement au talon même avec la bonne taille.Bref elle n’est pas conçu comme la peregrine 12 et 13 .Pouf moi celle la est un raté
ausmomo 1.0Saucony 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).
Dickiedoolittle 1.0I started my trail run training with Saucony peregrine 14’s. No complaints and since they were an older version (15’s are the newest version) they were only $70. Looks like they are hard to come by now but you might still be able to find some at REI on a clearance rack.
Equivalent_Class_752 1.0I’ll second this. Get the 14’s and if they split they’ll replace them with the 15’s. I still wear my 13’s despite the split.
joejance 1.0You need to go to a running shop and try on shoes. But I have the Hoka Mafate Speed 4 and would never use it in slippery/ muddy conditions. It has nowhere near the grip in those conditions compared to my Saucony Peregrines.
It is a bit hard to see in the photo, but I think I see what you mean. Peregrines have been great for me in general except the 13s were built poorly. I am on my second pair of 15s. But I have heard others complain and warrantied a pair of the 14s. I probably got through 5 pair a year so I figure that rate isn't too bad.
The Xodus is just slightly wider too. Peregrine is my main shoe and fits me perfect, but everyone has different feet and your fit in Xodus may vary from mine. Just something to look for when buying.
Marinlik 1.0Don't get peregrine 14. The rubber under the heel breaks extremely quick. The 15 are far more durable. They are my favourite do it all trail running shoe
I 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
MTBSoftCore 1.0Merrell Agility Peak 5 Insane lugs, better than speedgoats, incredibly protective, great for extreme terrain. Nike Zegama 2 Comfy but heavy, the vibram grips well, but somehow the lugs are shallower. Good for walking and slow runs up to moderately rough terrain, but doesn't excel at anything. Saucony Peregrine 14 Good fitting shoe, protective, comfy with sightly lower stack height. Great for everything up to 10 miles, that's when my feet get sore due to the thinner midsole. Very nimble, but they do not grip well on wet rocks or roots. Oh yeah the lugs wear out faster than i hoped affecting the longevity, that's something to be considered as well. Puma Deviate Nitro 2 They are the bomb if you are running your trails instead of walking them. Super light and have enough grip to handle moderate terrain. But they have very little protection on the uppers and outsole (shallow stack height), so you kind of have to watch where you place your feet to avoid sharp rocks and stuff. But goddamn they are fast. I much prefer the Merrell and Puma over the others, because they excel for certain usage conditions. The Zegama is meh (weak energy return) except for walking, while the Peregrine is limited by low stack height and incapability to gain traction on certain surfaces.
O667 1.0I’ve got 13 and 14 - love them, but they can split on the underside of the heel where the foam is exposed. The 15 have new tread patterns that should solve this problem. Saucony is really good about warranty replacement though, so might be worth grabbing the discounted 14.
Recent_Gap_4873 1.0Hey, I am wondering what people's go-to is for high mileage trail running. If it's dry I am usually just using Saucony Kinvara / Shift / Triumphs which are my daily trainer on the trails, but sometimes on technical sections they don't feel too stable. I tried Saucony Peregine 14 but it's not been my favorite so I am wondering if there's a go-to for a daily trainer for 50-60 mpw on trails?
Type2Gear 0.2I 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!
