What runners say
“Peregrine 6 uppers did not last long enough (200 miles or so and they ripped).”
“Wide forefoot, grip really well, and handle a wide range of terrain.”
“Added too much heel cushioning which has made the shoe more bulky and the heel higher up.”
“Kept feet totally dry even in heavy slush.”
“More difficult to feel the trail in bulky shoes.”
“Structured feel of a trail shoe, but can handle roads.”
“Gait improved to a more mid foot/forefoot strike.”
“Lugs seem to add a bit of extra cushion.”
“Warm for winter, and the reaction gets better with use.”
“Peregrine 7 seem to have fixed that.”
“Break-in period of about a week, but two months later among my favorite shoes.”
“Low drop is great.”
