The Peregrine 15 is an iconic, award-winning Saucony shoe: It earned a spot men’s journalA guide to the brand’s best shoes. It’s been on the market for years, and Saucony has continually revised and updated it while maintaining its place as a lightweight, super-capable shoe for going out on the pavement. Although this is technically a trail running shoe, it works great for hiking too. (For years, my hiking shoes have been Trail Runners.)
The synthetic mesh upper breathes well and features overlays for brush protection, and the EVA midsole creates a comfortable ride while an embedded rock plate prevents sharp rocks and roots from penetrating your feet. Importantly, this shoe has a sturdy rubber outsole for lockdown grip on all types of trails.
At 9.7 ounces, the Peregrine is significantly lighter than hiking boots and even outperforms more traditional hiking shoes. Compare this to the Merrell Moab 3, probably the most popular hiking shoe on the planet, which weighs in at 16.2 ounces. When you’re climbing a steep slope or trekking for double-digit mileage, you’ll definitely appreciate the Peregrine’s feathery weight.
