The Peregrine RFG Trail Running Shoes have been created with a recycled mesh upper, that is locally sourced helping to lower carbon emissions. The upper’s woven design ensures your feet have a constant supply of fresh, cool air to ensure you remain focused and ready to conquer every trail. Not only this but the ultralight construction will ensure that feet remain exceptionally comfortable and the sock-like fit of the shoes will ensure a secure and flexible fit, whilst providing plenty of protection when on the trail. The uppers are moisture-wicking to prevent an uncomfortable build-up of sweat and moisture from occurring and keep your feet dry throughout. An extremely secure lacing system will embrace the midfoot, providing a secure and steady fit and reducing any unwanted movement within the show so you can enjoy uninterrupted strides. Finishing the upper, a cushioned tongue will remove the risk of irritation being caused by rubbing and chafing, and will also block the entry of dirt and debris.
Fiona says: The Saucony Peregrine trail shoe, with a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing, is a solid, tried-and-tested shoe that remains popular among trail runners. For people who like to combine walking with running, it’s a good choice, especially as the shoe is quite lightweight and offers a fairly neutral heel-to-toe drop.
