Saucony Pellegrine 11 GTX. Ich war im Laufladen, habe einige ausprobiert und neben „normalen“ Straßenlaufschuhen (New Balance 1080) haben die für meine Trailruns gepasst

My peregrine 11s just did the same. I was boulder climbing in Joshua tree and I’m a tall heavy guy, so maybe the stress on the soles tears them. I haven’t had any break from trail running and I’ve owned 5 pairs.

I’m just at the edge case of smashed toes with my peregrine 11s. So it depends. Ofc models change as well. Maybe old ones were wide? I think they added fabric to the toes later on.

I’ve had decent luck with 4mm saucony shoes. But another great training aid for me is to hike in zero drop for building strength and run in the slightly cushier shoes. Might help keep you more robust.

Very well. Ultimately you’re choice I can’t give you exact models but I do think topo shoes are by default not zero drop. I do trail running in saucony peregrines and I think they’re 4mm drop and while not wide per se they don’t seem to be overall exaggerated oval ish. Worth a try on maybe?

I haven't had any issues with my 13's and have over 2,600km on them. I see people saying they are not a good shoe but they've been solid for me. Seems like they're a bit hit and miss. I found the 11's to be excellent while the 12's had rather poor uppers that needed repairing after just 500km The latest 16's look like they should be good with engineered mesh uppers and vibration soles.

I have a pair of Saucony Peregrine GTX trail shoes I wear when it's like this. They work great.

Hey there! I’m a seasonal backpacker located in the Rockies looking for a new shoe this summer for multi-day backpacks (25-75 miles) and day trips, but find myself torn between some of the hybrid approach models and a more traditional short-ankle hiking boot. I used to have a pair of La Sportiva TX4 that I absolutely loved the sole on, but energy return was lacking for big efforts. I’ve also utilized several pairs of trail running shoes (NB Hierro, Saucony Peregrine GTX) over the years that I loved for long distances, but have always been bothered by the lack of grip on trail running models, as well as how quickly the soles can degrade on rocky terrain. For this summer I’m hoping to find a shoe that fits the Goldilocks zone between both types of shoes, but it seems there are very few models with a climbing-centric forefoot (with the pad on the toe section of the sole) that also have a robust cushion. Would also like something that doesn’t feel awkward when running from time to time. Some models im looking at that could fit this zone are the La Sportiva TX Guide (love the sole in this one), La Sportiva Prodigio Hike, Salewa Wildfire NXT or Alp Trainer, and the Scarpa Ribelle Cross or Rapid LT. Would appreciate any insight on this!
