The Peregrine 11 features a 4mm drop, plush padding on the uppers, deeply lugged soles, a rock plate and welded overlays covered in thick rubber. Also, the name comes from a creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, where I coincidentally got my undergraduate degree. (Fun fact: Saucony has been making running shoes since long before any of us were born - 1898. The Saucony Peregrine 11 is the latest iteration of a beloved trail shoe from Saucony. So, my priorities in a shoe are comfort, protection, stability and durability. For the most part, though, I top out around 10 miles in any given effort and am not ashamed to admit that some of that is spent shuffling, especially at altitude and across difficult terrain. It’s incredible that some people can cover marathon distances across the high country and sometimes I have romantic visions of doing the same. I’m a skier and a cyclist and I run to fill the spaces in between. I’m not a ‘runner’ like my friends who sign up for mountain 50ks and log 100, 50, or even - let’s be real - 30 miles a week. Here are my thoughts on this rugged trail running shoe.įirst, a little about me. In pursuit of such a shoe, I’ve been running (in all its forms) around in the Saucony Peregrine 11 this summer. Whatever the case it’s nice to have shoes that can move between speeds, offering traction across a variety of surfaces, protection against rocks and other hard objects underfoot and giving a comfortable fit for long miles. Sometimes it’s trail jogging, other times fast-walking, occasionally keep-feet-moving shuffling, or you know, just walking (also sometimes referred to as ‘hiking’). In the mountains, trail ‘running’ has many forms.
The Saucony Peregrine 11 (available in men’s and women’s) is a robust trail shoe for a variety of terrain.
