Saucony Men's Peregrine 12 Gore-tex Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

In addition to sharing an identical heel-to-toe drop, there are other parallels between the Peregrine and Kinvara. As the Peregrine is a trail shoe based on a popular road running shoe, these shoes are built for speed. The 4mm drop is minimal, promoting a mid-foot strike. The overall lightness combined with springy energy return from the midsole allow maximum speeds to be reached.

The Peregrine 12 is not ideal for longer efforts. The narrow toe box would be constrictive and underfoot cushioning is insufficient for minimizing fatigue after many hours and miles. GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology provides best-in-class waterproof protection with a flexible, made-for-you feel That should reduce some of the clogging that we experienced on our pair of the standard Peregrine 12. The ST model’s upper has a tighter-woven mesh with a debris shield and bungee-type lacing. Feel of the shoe: Soft cushioning with SPEEDROLL technology aims to push you onto your toes and help propel you forwards. Saucony Endorphin Trail Mid

Heel-to-toe drop

In closing, I’m really pumped about what’s going on with the Saucony Peregrine 12. This Peregrine is as close to the original heritage of the Peregrine as we’ve seen in a whole bunch of versions.

Generally speaking, two things make a running shoe compatible with gaiters. The first feature is a D-ring on the forefoot that allows the gaiter hook to be attached. The outsole of the Peregrine 12 has well-spaced, chevron lugs sitting at 4.6mm deep. The spacing means it’s really good at shedding mud, and can work on softer ground too. This shoe is named after the fastest animal on Earth for a reason. Lightweight and yet fantastically comfortable, the Saucony Peregrine 13 is for blistering speedy trail runs. GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology provides best-in-class waterproof protection with a flexible, made-for-you feel.

SHOES SIMILAR TO THE SAUCONY PEREGRINE 12

Despite the brand new midsole and outsole, the Peregrine 12 has a similar ride character as the 11. If this D-Ring is missing on a shoe, then it’s not compatible with a gaiter. Fortunately, the Peregrine 12 has one.
