I Have had the Peregrine 3s and 4s, loved them so much, ran some 50+ mile trail ultras in them no problem, comfortable from start to finish. Just bought the new 5s and they were horrible. I can't work out how they were so bad. I have seen other people say how much they love them so it's a clearly a good shoe, I just can't work out why it feels so different?
Anyone else noticed anything odd about them?
Bushido fan here as well. I used to be a Peregrine stan but when they changed the fit 3-4 years ago I could no longer wear them. The Bushido seems similar to the old Peregrine - to me anyway. Grippy, good ground contact, comfortable. And perfect for rocky Colorado trails.
I sort of think of the Cascadia as the yardstick by which every other shoe can be measured. Other shoes can be lighter, higher or lower, etc… but the Cascadia is kind of like that “ideal” Mario Kart build where you could max out your points in one specific area to be optimal for your style and situation, that shoe does everything pretty well.
I’ve been a Cascadia fan since they launched, although I drifted away for awhile to the Pure Grit when that was a thing, then the Perigine and the Altra Lone Peak, neither of which worked well for me. V19 has been fantastic on the rocks in AZ - reasonably light, pretty resilient, no issues with stability.
Sadly with the 13s they changed the sole, and they just don't have the grip of the older ones. Which is a shame, because they were a great shoe. I went through several pairs before I had to find something else.
I loved the older Peregrine's but the new ones quality is absolute trash. I've moved over to Nnormals and don't see myself going back. Tomirs will probably fit your foot best, Kjerag is more "like" the Peregrine IMO (stiffer foam, lighter) but you may find them tight. Good luck!
