The Grivet Take
The Peregrine 15 is older Saucony stock for men, the predecessor to the current Peregrine 16. 28/24 stack with a 4mm drop, PWRRUN midsole, PWRTRAC outsole with 5mm lugs, integrated rock plate. Best for technical trail, mud, wet conditions, and runners wanting an aggressive trail shoe at closeout pricing. Customers wanting the current Peregrine experience should look at the v16 with Vibram Megagrip.

Support
Support TypeSupport Type describes how much built-in guidance the shoe has. Neutral shoes do not add support structure. Stability shoes use geometry, rails, firmer foam, or frame designs to create a more guided feel. Motion control shoes are the maximum-support category and are rare in modern running.

Standard platform
How it fits
Fits true to size with a standard Saucony last. Toe box runs standard width with normal vertical room. Available in Standard (D) only for men's.
How it feels
Cushion is moderate; PWRRUN midsole reads firm and trail-appropriate. The 4mm drop and stable platform feel agile on technical climbs and descents. PWRTRAC outsole with 5mm lugs grips reliably on dirt, mud, wet rocks, and loose terrain.
