Saucony peregrin free#

Mud and grass which typically causes me some slipping, especially when I push out from my toes, posed very little challenge in general with these. While running I could actually feel the lugs shifting and wrapping around harder objects like rocks and stumps, while they flattened out just a bit to stick against flat, smooth surfaces. This is further improved by the choice of a very soft, conforming synthetic rubber. The sharp, angular walls are angled back and dig deep into mud, silt and small gravel or rocks, while small knobs and grooves provide better traction on fine surfaces. Basically, they provide maximum tracking when accelerating forward and when being pushed horizontally due to their shape. The lugs on the bottom of the shoe are large, indented triangle shapes that are designed with a distinct directionality to them. The Peregrine 12 is by far the grippiest trail running shoe I’ve tested. The shoes weigh about 12 ounces, retail for $140, and is available in men’s, women’s and laced and lace-less (ST) versions. The shoe is gaiter compatible thanks to the small clip near the toes.

This particular version includes a lace free design, opting instead for a quick adjustable slider with a clever pocket for tucking away the excess string. The shoes are built entirely from synthetic materials, from the soft, grippy sole to the colorful, mud shedding upper. The Peregrine 12 ST is a lightweight trail runner designed with large, well spaced lugs for huge amounts of traction in wet and sloppy conditions. With deep, sticky lugs and a snug, stable fit, the Peregrine excels where others slide.

Slicky, nasty trails are all part of the fun for the Saucony Peregrine 12 ST Trail Running shoes.
