Our read

The Peregrine 16 continues Saucony's aggressive-yet-versatile trail line, pairing grippy Vibram MegaGrip with a low 4mm drop and moderate PWRRUN cushioning. This generation reportedly adds foam for more comfort on long days without abandoning the ground connection that makes it a nimble technical option. It reads as a do-everything trail trainer rather than a dedicated racer.

Ride

A 4mm drop (32/28mm) platform with PWRRUN foam that Saucony says is increased for a more cushioned feel; moderate cushioning with a firm, connected trail ride expected from the Peregrine line.

Fit

High strength mesh upper with added toe protection and gaiter compatibility; regular, wide and GTX constructions exist. Independent fit detail for the women's model is limited.

Best for

Runners wanting one shoe for technical, wet, rocky and loose terrain across daily trail training up to long trail efforts.

Avoid if

You want a max-cushioned ultra ride, a plated racer, or a road-focused shoe.
