The Grivet Take
The Peregrine 14 is Saucony's versatile trail running shoe and one of the most consistently recommended trail picks in the category. PWRTRAC outsole with deep multidirectional lugs grips wet terrain, mud, and technical sections; the PWRRUN midsole reads moderately cushioned with a low 4mm drop that keeps the foot connected to the trail. This is a daily trail shoe that handles smooth trails, mixed terrain, and technical sections without specializing in any one. Faster paces are workable but the Peregrine is primarily a technical trail tool. Customers who want max cushion for ultra-distance trail efforts should look at the Hoka Speedgoat or step up within the Saucony line.

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 for most runners. Toe box runs slightly wider than typical road shoes for trail-specific foot expansion. Midfoot is normal width with a secure wrap; the upper holds the foot well over technical terrain. Heel hold is excellent thanks to a stiff counter and well-padded collar. Available in standard (B) only at Grivet for women's. The shoe sits low on a 4mm drop; runners coming from high-drop road shoes should expect a different feel underfoot.
How it feels
Cushion is moderate and balanced; PWRRUN is durable and protective without being plush. The 4mm drop and lower stack keep ground feel stronger than max-cushion trail shoes. PWRTRAC outsole with 4mm to 5mm lugs grips wet rocks, mud, and loose terrain reliably. Energy return is modest. The platform is standard trail width, stable through technical sections without going wide-base. This shoe is a technical trail partner that prioritizes traction and feel over cushion.

Tech, translated
PWRRUN is Saucony's standard EVA-blend midsole foam, durable and protective. In the Peregrine 14 it pairs with a low 4mm drop for stronger ground feel on trail.
PWRTRAC is Saucony's trail outsole compound with deep multidirectional lugs (4mm to 5mm depth). Grips wet rocks, mud, gravel, and loose terrain reliably.
The Peregrine 14 is the standard non-waterproof version. Saucony also offers a Peregrine 14 GTX with GORE-TEX waterproofing for wet-weather running.
Frequently asked
Does the Saucony Peregrine 14 run true to size?
The Peregrine 14 runs true to size for most runners. The toe box runs slightly wider than typical road shoes for trail-specific foot expansion; the midfoot has a secure wrap. Available in standard (B) only at Grivet for women's. Runners coming from road shoes with high drop should note the 4mm drop sits lower than typical road shoes.
How does the Saucony Peregrine 14 compare to the Hoka Speedgoat 6?
Both are versatile trail shoes that handle technical terrain. The Peregrine 14 is more nimble with a lower 4mm drop and 28mm heel stack; the Speedgoat 6 has max cushion at higher stack with a more pronounced rocker. Pick the Peregrine for stronger ground feel and trail responsiveness; pick the Speedgoat for ultra-distance protection and softer underfoot comfort.
Is the Saucony Peregrine 14 firm or soft underfoot?
The Peregrine 14 is balanced, leaning slightly firm. PWRRUN provides protection without going pillowy; the lower 4mm drop and 28mm heel stack keep the foot connected to the trail. Runners who want a softer trail shoe should look at the Hoka Speedgoat 6 instead.
Is the Saucony Peregrine 14 good for rocky or technical trails?
Yes. The PWRTRAC outsole with deep multidirectional lugs grips technical terrain, wet rocks, and loose surfaces reliably. The lower 4mm drop and 28mm heel stack keep the foot stable through uneven ground. The platform is standard trail width, balanced through technical sections.
Does the Saucony Peregrine 14 grip well in mud or wet conditions?
Yes. The PWRTRAC outsole compound and 4mm-to-5mm lugs perform well in mud, on wet rocks, and on loose terrain. The Peregrine is consistently praised across customer reviews for wet-condition traction. For very wet conditions, Saucony also offers a Peregrine 14 GTX with GORE-TEX waterproofing.
