Built for the wild

Laces up
Saucony delivers what it refers to as a FormFit upper, which is essentially a snug fitting body that keeps the foot locked into place. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Power sole
A PWRTRAC sole features rows of aggressive lugs that are built to grip on to anything underfoot, while their tough rubber construction means they last. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Padded, for your pleasure
Both the tongue and the upper of this shoe are heavily padded, which is a welcome addition given the punishment the feet take when scrambling over rocky earth. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Comfy cushion
A chunky heel height of 27mm allows plenty of space for additional cushioning, which does a great job of shock absorbing. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Hot stuff
The additional weight and the weather resistant upper means they aren’t the most breathable and when paired with some thick running socks, things get hot. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Verdict
We very quickly fell in love with Saucony Peregrine 11, simply because they shroud the foot in such a way to promote plenty of confidence on the trails. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
