Saucony - Peregrine ICE+ 3

I love my Peregrines, have been running/hiking in them for a long time. The 15s just came out. I have been more of a fan of even numbers (12/14 over the 11/13, 14s have been my favorite in a long time) personally. I haven't tried the 15s yet. There wasn't anything wrong with them, but just my preference lately, so I'd still recommend them unless you wanted to get a more recent one which are all getting marked down in price now. 

If they aren't working, there isn't much you can do. I find that higher stack height shoes - the Calderas are 38mm/32mm in heel/toe - I tend to roll my ankles more and look for something closer to the ground. The Cascadias are 33mm/25mm, so your foot sits much closer to the ground, and you may be noticing this. I like Saucony Peregrines which are 28/24, about half an inch closer to the ground than the Calderas. Unfortunately, a lot of the max cushioning shoes tend to have higher stack heights.  You can otherwise look for more "stable" and wider sole shoes, but too wide and your gait changes. Or, mid top boots for better stability. You can always keep the Calderas and use them on non technical trails.

I'm in the exact same boat. Started with the Peregrine, went to Speedboat, back to Peregrine. Have a number of pairs of both floating around. I find the Hoka stickier, but better tred (that doesn't fall apart quickly) on the Peregrine.

Personally I don't like waterproof trail runners. They're ok for short runs but they overheat (as you said) or if they do get wet they stay wet for ages. It takes forever for them to dry. If you're here in summer even if your feet do get wet they shouldn't get too cold. I don't bother with waterproof socks in summer, again I overheat. In winter though they can be very useful. I'm not going to suggest a specific shoe as the fit is far too personal. I've had a lot of pairs of Saucony Peregrines and live on the Pennines (same hills as the Peak District). They have a 4mm drop so you might prefer something with more padding. I know a lot of people that use Inov8s Mudclaws etc etc but they're too thin for me. Hokas obviously and Altras if you prefer a wide toebox. I'd recommend going to a running shop and trying some on. Have you tried asking the event organisers to see what they suggest? They know the route so should be able to tell you what the surface and ground conditions will be like.

I've never had peregrines last all that long going back to the 5s I started with. I don't find the traction to be bad on wet rocks though.

Fan of peregrine and even had those older model exodus (the tanks!) and liked them, but something didn’t click for me in the Xodus Ultra. Really wanted to love them. But I just always felt flat running in them, and failed to get a lockdown fit. Nowadays prefer shoes with a bit more flexibility too. Such an odd experience considering the rave reviews! Glad they worked out for someone though!

I think you can grt some deals such as old versions, off colors and get good prices on trail runners… there’s probably not a new model at full price for under 100 that would be trustworthy lol shop deals, rei resupply, backcountry etc to find solid options like the lone peaks or saucony peregrines i like alot and usually can find good prices… got a pair on amazon for 50 bucks that was the 13s which r their best year haha

I wear New Balance 880s in a 4E, so i feel for you. Over the last few years I have been wearing Saucony Peregrine fro trails, I simply size up a half size. I've tried on all of the supposed trail shoes with wide toe boxes, but none of them work for wide feet, I mean, who has wide toes?!

I have big wide feet 12 (4E) on my road shoes, I have found that going up a size in Saucony Peregrine gives me the width that I need. I have yet to find a wide fit trail shoe in my local running stores. I try Atlra as they are supposed to have a bug toe box, but they don’t work for me.

I’m a wide footed beast, 4E width, I wear Saucony Peregrine and upsize a half size.

I would go to another store and see what they have. I am a similar build to you, and I have wide feet, I’ve found that Saucony Peregrine work for me.

I have the Glycerine and Caldera combination. The Caldera are super comfy, but I have struggled with them on technical trails and found them slippy on the downhills (when wet and muddy in the UK). I really like them as all rounder though and wear them when I am off road on a more easy run/trail. I have some Saucony Peregrine's for more technical/faster runs but having various blister problems with them so bought some Inov8 trailfly to test this weekend.

Switched from the Peregrine to the Tomir (via a pair of Inov8) for the same reason, heel blisters and rubbing even though I enjoyed the speed and feel of them. Tomir have been great straight out of the box but do feel bulkier and you don't get quite the same ground feel - saying that I've not tried anything particularly technical in them yet. I'm in the UK and think they will be fine for all weather - got a run in the lake district this weekend that will hopefully test them out.

I’ve never been able to do it. I pack a slight pair of nice looking sling back flats for out and otherwise sneakers - love Brooks or saucony perrigrine if hikes will be involved. Trail shoes don’t have as much give as walking shoes though so I find it easier to walk in those.

I snagged a pair for $100 on ebay and i’ve gotten 3 solid winners out of them. But yeah, shred up 2 pairs of peregrines every winter.
