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.

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 made the mistake of buying two pairs of peregrine 12 a few years ago. Both got warrantied within 100km and both 13 replacements broke immediately as well. Then they replaced them with one pair of peregrine 14 and between all of them together they lasted shorter than my peregrine 10s

12 + 13 were utter garbage when they were new let alone as 3 year old new stock. 15 was back to being great and the 16 is looking similar.

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.

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.
