Along with the Xodus family and the Nomad TR, the Peregrine saga is Saucony s reference for mountain runners. In the specific case of the Peregrine, the American firm has already launched its sixth release, which comes with numerous changes compared to its predecessor, the Peregrine 5, resulting in a total redesign of the shoe.
Outsole
In turn, and turning around the model, it is necessary to refer to its new outsole, in which Saucony has incorporated a proprietary material such as PWRTRAC, also present in the Saucony Nomad TR, which, as the brand assures, is able to offer 3 times more traction compared to other types of materials.
In addition, its hexagonal-shaped cleats are very marked, and also include the XT-900 compound, reinforcing traction and offering a greater degree of resistance to wear in the most exposed areas.
Midsole
As it has happened with the latest and most iconic versions of Saucony for running on asphalt -Saucony Triumph ISO 2, Saucony Guide 9 or Saucony Kinvara 7, among others- the Saucony Peregrine 6 also brings with it the innovative EVERUN cushioning system, capable of adapting to the natural movement of the foot.
Upper
Saucony has resorted to thermo-sealing to take care of all its seams down to the smallest detail, which provides a greater feeling of comfort when the shoe is on the foot.
The powerful heel counter, together with the Flexfilm material, contribute to improve the support of the Peregrine 6, giving it a lot of character, which is the point that distinguishes it from its most direct competitors.
The Peregrine 6 continues to feature the RunDry system that keeps feet dry in wet and rainy conditions.
On the other hand, the sixth version of the Saucony Peregrine has a weight of 272 grams and a minimum drop of 4 millimeters, so its low profile gives the runner the option to feel closer to the ground, which favors the momentum and stability. The Peregrine 6 is still suitable for the medium-low weight runner looking to run at fast paces over medium distances. Awarded with the Runner's World Editor's choice award.
