Peregrine 12 GORE-TEX

I have some [saucony peregrines](https://www.sportsshoes.com/product/sau4508/saucony-peregrine-12-gore-tex-women's-trail-running-shoes) that are listed as ‘moderate’ support but are fantastic for trails.

Also in Northern UK and I run a mix of trail trails and forestry tracks. Saucony peregrines 12 for me, they have the goretex version too.

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

Sadly, no.  I used to like the Saucony Peregrine GTX (Goretex) but they changed it a few years ago.  I tried the Goretex Altra Lone Peaks because I like them as a hiking shoe but they are way too heavy for running.  I just got a pair of Saucony Ride TR GTX which I haven’t tried yet. I like Goretex for winter because it can get quite slushy where I live and it helps to keep my feet dry, but the downside is Goretex is always heavier than an equivalent non-Goretex shoe.

Saucony Peregrine trail runners- look for the waterproof version.

Gore-Tex will keep the slush out but your feet might still get sweaty. I’ve had good luck with a water-resistant shoe + thin wool socks, and gaiters if it’s really messy. Nordas are tanks, but cheaper options (Peregrine GTX, Yaktrax on your current pair) work just as well depending on if you’re on plowed roads or ice.

Fascinating. What’s your typical terrain? My trails are far more varied, rock/root/boulder/dirt/gravel so my 12s easily have 300k and my cleats don’t look as worn as yours. Do you use these for lots of uphill grinds on rocky terrain hence all the forefoot wear? I do wear orthotics so I don’t think I get nearly as much forefoot twist, but I’d certainly think it’s a material/laminate construction issue there.

I switch 3. Cumulus, 2000s, and peregrines

I've run in Peregrines (11, 12, & 13) and I find the Inov-8 Trailfly (The Standard. Not the Speed. Not the Zero (if you're in the UK)) to ride similarly. They're a 6mm drop instead of a 4mm, but they feel very similar under-foot. The mid-sole is on the firmer-side, but with decent energy return. They have a rock-plate. Grip is great where I run (dry, hardpack, a little rocky). Runs on pavement just fine since the lugs aren't extremely aggressive. They have a relatively wide forefoot. I'd size up at least half size, maybe a full size. I've got about 500 miles on mine, uppers are perfectly intact, but horrendously stained because I bought the white ones since I found them deeply discounted. Outsole is more worn, but still completely intact and functional.
