Saucony  Peregrine 15 Trail-Running Shoes - Women's

The first feature I noticed when unpacking these shoes was how extremely lightweight they felt, especially given the thick sole. I have to admit, I was also a bit nervous that they were solid white. Living in the PNW, I frequently run in the rain/mud and fully expected they would be brown in no time. The other feature that differed from my current trail runners was the lacing. I have become accustomed to using no-tie laces that cinch up nice and tight without causing numbing. Pros: The cushioning on these shoes did not disappoint. On the rockiest trails, these feel like running on clouds. The material was also more durable than expected and I’m happy to say they are still white despite all of the mud running. They’ve also been quite durable. I run 8-10 miles a day, 7 days a week and they are still in great shape after 8 weeks of use. Cons: I am still a huge fan of quick laces and have had a couple runs where I tied the laces too tight and felt some numbing. Despite the material staying fairly clean, I would still prefer an orange shoe with white accents over a white shoe with orange accents. Overall, these are a sturdy, comfortable and durable shoe that runs well in all conditions, including some snow/ice.

Awful grip on wet rock and roots despite being marketed as “rugged trail”. The combo of whatever rubber plus the heavy lugs made a recent trail run feel like I had chunks of butter attached to my feet. Decent fit for my feet but not for the northeast where we have no shortage of wet rock and roots. Also, who decided to make a white trail running shoe?
