"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."

"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."

"ran some 50+ mile trail ultras in them no problem"
"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."

bradymsu616 1.0At $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. 😔
Pitiful_Wear_4212 1.0I Have had the Peregrine 3s and 4s, loved them so much, ran some 50+ mile trail ultras in them no problem, comfortable from start to finish. Just bought the new 5s and they were horrible. I can't work out how they were so bad. I have seen other people say how much they love them so it's a clearly a good shoe, I just can't work out why it feels so different? Anyone else noticed anything odd about them?
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
