Saucony Peregrine 16 Review

"The biggest upgrade to this new model is a full Vibram Megagrip outsole with Traction Lugs. The new rubber underfoot significantly improves traction on slippery surfaces, and the 4-millimeter lugs, although slightly shorter than those on the previous version, provide grip both while climbing and descending. The other notable change to the shoe comes from four extra millimeters of midsole foam underfoot, increasing the stack height to 32 millimeters under the heel and 28 millimeters under the forefoot, creating a 4-millimeter drop."

"Let's start off with the specs. In U.S. men's size 9, this comes in at 9.5 ounces. It maintains the 4-millimeter drop that has been consistent on almost, I think, all Peregrines. The only difference is that they've increased the midsole foam another 4 millimeters across the entire stack. This is a 32-millimeter heel and a 28-millimeter toe. The upper is roughly the same. Not a lot of exciting new fabrics, more of a traditional kind of mesh."

The Saucony Peregrine 16 gains a full Vibram Megagrip outsole with Traction Lugs to improve slippery-surface traction. Four-millimeter lugs deliver grip both uphill and downhill despite being slightly shorter than the prior model. The midsole receives four additional millimeters of foam, resulting in a 32 mm heel and 28 mm forefoot stack with a 4 mm drop for added cushioning while preserving ground feel. Claimed weight is 9.5 ounces (269 grams) in U.S. men's 9. The upper uses traditional mesh and the shoe maintains a low-frills, versatile trail performance profile at a reasonable price.
