Peregrine 16 GTX

You should try the Peregrine 16. It's back to roots for me, plus Vibram and feels slightly like Xodus

There are no trail shoes with a pronation-support system. Such system is counterproductive on an uneven trail and can cause problems and injuries. I am running Adrenaline and Glycerine GTS as my road shoes and have x-bionic, dynafit and saucony Peregrines as my trail running shoes. X-bionic and dynafit are relatively stable, I use a special insole in Peregrines (not from orthopedics)

LaSportiva Prodigio Pro for long runs and races Brooks Ghost Trail for base and recovery runs (so far only 100km in them) Saucony Peregrines (already 850km, will be retired this week most probably)

The speedgoat 7 doesn’t have a roomy toe box in my experience. It’s not as narrow as I thought it would be, but it’s not great. I got my regular size though and I think I should have gone up half a size, although I’m not sure that would help with my big toe not having enough room in the sides. I have the Saucony Peregrine 16 as well and those have more room in the forefoot, but my inner heel comes out a bit/rubs so I’m going to try lacing them differently to see if that helps. I have a wider forefoot though and narrower heel. Both of these have been good as far as running on dirt, some mud, gravel, up and down hills, and lots of roots and little stones etc. They both have good cushion but as a beginner on trails that aren’t overly technical, they don’t feel overly cushioned or rockery.

The grip was great in the Peregrine 16, but they rubbed a hole in my heel at mile 5 out of 14 in an event I was in. They also got coated in mud and horse poop, so they went straight into the trash. Haven't tried the other two.

Saucony peregrine 16 has a 4mm drop but toe box has more room, almost as much room as my Altra lone peak.

The 16 is a nice update as well. Slightly firmer but more energy return and Vibrant Mega grip.
