The 11th version has few updates to note. To me it really comes down to one’s comfort level, literally, with the Saucony Peregrine. Like its predecessors, the Peregrine lacks sufficient protection for such adventures and is better suited for mild to moderate trails. I would also not recommend it for gnarly mountain runs. While your results may differ, if you have had heel or ankle issues in the past, I would not recommend the Peregrines.

However, that creates a very tight heel fit, retriggering heel pain and soreness for me immediately during and throughout the testing period. Saucony uses a FormFit upper to protect and secure the foot. One welcome change for me would be to redesign the heel area. While these shoes still lack the responsiveness of lighter, speedier trail shoes, this addition was welcome. The Peregrines also benefitted from Saucony’s PWRRUN cushioning.

Among them: Saucony retooled the forefoot which improved the shoe’s grip and added a strong rock plate. The positive changes from the updates to the 10th were still in play.

A year ago, I reviewed the 10th version, which Saucony did make some enhancements to.Īmong the changes for the 11th was an increase in weight (now 11.6 ounces for men’s size 10 9.6 ounces for women).
