The match and lockdown within the Peregrine 16 are nonetheless wonderful, with a caveat that I’ll dive into within the subsequent part. I’ve all the time cherished the Peregrine for its smooth, aggressive match, and whereas this one is much less excellent than the previous few fashions, it nonetheless looks like a technical charger underfoot. The construction across the midfoot holds your foot securely and comfortably and boosts confidence on all surfaces.
That confidence is just enhanced by the PWRRUN foam and Vibram outsole underfoot. The froth is medium agency, however has that good PWRRUN+ sockliner sitting on prime for consolation and a few water resistance. The star of the present right here, nevertheless, is the Vibram MegaGrip soleplate. Increasingly corporations are deploying this on their footwear, particularly with Vibram’s proprietary Traction Lugs, and the Peregrine 16 is an ideal instance as to why.
These Traction Lugs are solely 4 mm deep on the Peregrine 16, however the grip is out of this world. I had zero slippage on unfastened grime, snow, roots, rocks, and sure, moist boardwalks. I’ve run in a whole lot of footwear with Vibram underfoot, however mixing it with the Peregrine’s already confirmed efficiency leads to confidence in all situations that’s second-to-none.
