@@HuwJones Did you end up getting a pair of 12's? I've been running in 10's for the last five or six months and have loved them, but they're starting to wear out. I was wondering if anyone had put some extended use on the 12's to see if they held up as well.
@@toastrecon I did not. At the end of the month I will seek out and try a pair on. I'm dealing with foot issues so am leaning more to something with a natural toe box. 356.8 miles on the Peregrine 10's at this point...would like to get them to 400 before retirement.
Peregrine's 11 have been my goto shoe for ultras etc in the UK. So very interesting to see the 12. Love the lacing system. Not sure there release date in UK.
I have recently started running in a bunch of Altras, but love Saucony trail shoes!!! I still use my peregrine and mad river tr's quite a bit, the 4mm drop is still low enough for me. People get caught up on the "outsole you can put screws into" and miss what amazing trail shoes Saucony make. I live in the Hudson valley in New York and you were right around the corner! Good stuff.
You are one of the first reviewer using slash testing the shoe on an appropriate terrain. It is not a central park trail sneaker. Of course that thick leaf coverage is never appropriate but the rocky sections and the little hands on knees climbing suggest some steepness and technicality. Thanks for the review and enjoy the shoe !
I have the 8s, 10s and 11s. The 10s I think are the best and just bought another pair of 10s on clearance. The 8s were solid but nothing really stood out but solid and reliable. 10s are amazing. The 11s were very good but not as soft- material wise so they didn’t break in easily and form to my foot like I was hoping. Ive tried on the 12s but didn’t buy them. They felt great right out of the box though. The thinner tongue could be a concern. If you accidentally tie them too tight you could end up top of foot pain. I’ll probably grab a pair at some point though.
Excited to try them out! Had v10 and thought (especially in the winter) that the midsole was just dead and my feet would get sore running in them. I skipped v11 for that reason, so was sort of hoping the new version was going to tweak the midsole to add just a bit of softness.
Love the shoe and the video! Just ordered a pair and can’t wait to try them…@Kofuzi do you think you could link each item of apparel you wear on each run? Every video I watch there’s at least TWO pieces of gear you are wearing that I would like to buy…thanks!
The 7 is the last version I liked. Weight just kept going up and the weight to cushion ratio to me wasn’t worth it. That said this shoe may get me back on the Peregrine train.
I had some issues with Peregrin 10. Two layers of insoles was not good. When the shoes got wet the insoles starts to move around, It almost came out of the shoes. The other issue was the hard heel cap. It made blisters on both of my heels:-( Hope this version is much better.
Long time favorite trail shoe! Agree about the rock plate and is really the only slight negative but you just have to do your best to avoid sharp rocks. Great review!
Looks good! I got a pair of 11s from Black Friday sale for casual walking. Now I'm using the shoes for winter run/walk workouts while recovering from injury. For real trail running I personally would choose Hoka Torrent shoes. The 11s just seem somewhat klunky but maybe that has changed with the 12s.
I want to see a nitrogen infused pwrrun in this shoe. Maybe 2mm higher stack. Lighter weight overall. Increase the pricepoint 10 bucks. Would be a killer shoe. Could make it more bouncy and race ready, like the catamount(RIP).
Love the color! You were running in my neck of the woods. It was unseasonably warm..that is until today where is is below freezing. What trails were you running on?
@@kofuzi their nomenclature is confusing. It is not called pwrrun+ bc they reserve that name for the full tPU midsoles. The tpu liner adds a little bounce without losing the predictability of the Eva. Love the weight loss on this year’s model. I use peregrines for work and hiking mostly :) would love to see a gtx mid style
It is not that just they (assuming you meant just Saucony) call it a Rock plate, but it is called a rock plate in general...as you said, it is there to protect you from the rocks, but it is hard to get that perfect balance between midsole magic and the plate :) Peregrine is a very popular trail shoe from what Ive noticed, it is the one trail shoe you should look at if you want 1 for everything...plus it is very affordable...and this one looks awesome :)
@kofuzi thank you for the review. However I have watched about 8-10 of your reviews and you think all of them are good, fit great and run fantastic. What are we to make of that?
I am selective about the shoes that I make videos about. I review shoes, but I'm not like a movie critic who watches every movie every week. I can only run so many miles, so I generally go with the ones that I suspect I will enjoy. sometimes, I get random shoes sent to me and it turns out great, like this one. other times, not so much.
@@kofuzi thank you for your reply. It would actually be interesting to see a review of a shoe that does not turn out great. This could ad some perspective to your reviews. So far I know the second the review start what the content will be, the upper is nice and stripped down, the sole is nice but also very responsive and you don't really feel the weight. It could be refreshing to also see some shoes that are not perfect
It's quite similar to Salomon Ultra 3 and I've seen people running it at UTMB. The Peregrine 11 felt a tiny bit better on cushioning. Yet, it is still max 50k for me, but I don't run more! Recently I've tried the Asics Fuji Lite 2 - soo nimble and still well cushioned. More cushion for more km? - Gel-Trabuco 👌 Now, the Peregrine 12 is made lighter - will it run long? I wish to know too.
@@yalokim5264 There’s some significant changes to the version 12 that I think might extend the comfort a bit. Trying to decide on a shoe for GDR and this seems about perfect.
@@runzization I'm between two sizes so I picked a higher one. With my wide feet that was a good choice considering it is really a nimble, narrow shoe. The upper is quite accommodating 👍
@@yalokim5264 I don't know how anyone can run an ultra in the S/LAB Ultra 3 without destroying their feet. It's not forgiving at all. Very secure fit and great drainage though.
The Saucony trail shoes have always been a bit heavy. The new lineup, including the Peregrine 12, is much lighter. Peregrine 11 is 11.1 oz and the Peregrine 12 is 9.x oz. otherwise equal, I’d go with the much lighter one!
I got zero information in the package I received, and I think the theme for 2022 will be that release dates are very very approximate. But other sources have indicated a February release.
Have the 10. Love them. May not be the best choice for longer runs because they like they're on the firmer side. Assuming the 12 still feel similar. Surprised that I like that orange color way, looks great.
For years, the Peregrines have been my go-to shoes for winter running. The grip is excellent and the comfort is great.
Two years later - great review! Thank you. Perfect level of detail and visuals and topics covered.
thanks!
you are so ahead from other reviewers. a week has passed and you're still the only one who reviewed the peregrine 12
I am still running trails in Peregrine 10s!! this is super exciting!
Me too....loving my 10's. Will definitely be picking a pair of these up this year.

i hike in Peregrin's they are my favorite! great support, grip, comfort... they breath really well, and dry out quick, they are really durable too!
The music in the opening run footage has got me dying for a “Kofuzi goes to the Renaissance Faire” vlog now.
Peregrine's 11 have been my goto shoe for ultras etc in the UK. So very interesting to see the 12. Love the lacing system. Not sure there release date in UK.
Those look like one heck of a pair shoes! The outsole looks fab and love the 4mm drop.
The upper, the color, the lacing, beautiful!

Still use my Jackalope Peregrine 10's and they're still kicking ass. I believe it's time for Peregrine 12.
They look fantastic Kofuzi but would put my Salomon ultra glides up against them any day ! 👏👏 Ian 🇬🇧

It was more rigorous terrain than I typically run, but a lot of fun in these shoes
Wow -loving the look of these !! And i Could use these for traction during for juking during frissbee sessions
I have the Peregrine 10 and have only used it once, but got to say Saucony is doing something good.
I have the 8s, 10s and 11s. The 10s I think are the best and just bought another pair of 10s on clearance. The 8s were solid but nothing really stood out but solid and reliable. 10s are amazing.

I’ll probably grab a pair at some point though.
Running to the beat is a nice touch!
The 11th are on sale and that good enough for me right now.
I got to say that the 12th do look nice in this color.
I use my peregrine 11 as my hiking shoes for most of the year. So much better than chunky hiking boots
Excited to try them out! Had v10 and thought (especially in the winter) that the midsole was just dead and my feet would get sore running in them. I skipped v11 for that reason, so was sort of hoping the new version was going to tweak the midsole to add just a bit of softness.
Had the same issue with v10. Stopped wearing them.

Great review mate!! Looking forward to getting a pair of peregrine 12 soon. Cheers and happy trails!
From Italy, pk
Great review as always, Michael. The 11’s are on sale now 👍. The 12’s should be coming sooner than later. 🤞
I run in the peregrine 11 and the overall grip and ride is amazing
Really Nice Color scheme. They should make these in a road version:)
Excited for these, love the Peregrines.😎👍
Here in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 it’s currently-28c and the Peregrine 12 ice is our go to winter shoe. Pretty good traction on the ice and polished snow.
Good review man👍🏼
i still have the Peregrine 7s and with every iteration they've gone up in weight since. I think this is going back to it's lighter origins, hopefully.
The 7 is the last version I liked. Weight just kept going up and the weight to cushion ratio to me wasn’t worth it. That said this shoe may get me back on the Peregrine train.
That intro is next level
I had some issues with Peregrin 10. Two layers of insoles was not good. When the shoes got wet the insoles starts to move around, It almost came out of the shoes. The other issue was the hard heel cap. It made blisters on both of my heels:-( Hope this version is much better.
I had the same terrible experience in wet conditions. I really hope they've sorted that issue.
They look sick man! I hope the ride isnt too soft and can handle welsh fell style running🏴 Great channel man!
If they are anything like the 11’s, you should be good with them. The 11’s provide great protection and are not too soft.
Long time favorite trail shoe! Agree about the rock plate and is really the only slight negative but you just have to do your best to avoid sharp rocks. Great review!
you could have the best rock plate in the world - trying to avoid sharp rocks is always just the sensible thing to do
@@mtlewis973 that’s my intention but doesn’t always work out that way.
I hope they offer this color for women! I’m ordering this shoe as soon as it’s available, which I heard is Feb.1.
East coast trails ftw!

Always amazes me how strong your arms must be to run the distances you do with with the GoPro 😂
you get used to it

What happened to the Catamount?
Hopefully the wide version will come in this colour instead of boring black (V10 &11)
love you man!
What's that epic intro song? Felt like an RPG
Just to say I liked the shoe and looked for an affiliate link for your benefit in the description but didn’t find it.
Kofuzi did they run true to size? Roadrunners website recommended sizing up by half a size but i think i will order in my regular size
Looking forward to taking my new pair out this weekend.... Wonder why they put a gaiter tab on the front but no velcro attachment on the heel?!
Nice colors! How was the grip on wet rocks?
If the grip is like the peregrine 11 which I run in the grip is amazing on any wet surface
I do SwimRun races where we swim in shoes, so they have need to have good drainage. Any thought on how this shoe would do?
Love the color! You were running in my neck of the woods. It was unseasonably warm..that is until today where is is below freezing. What trails were you running on?
Enjoyed the pun
Hey! What trails did you run in Connecticut? I love the trails around here!
Looks very refined. Nice
They do look quite cool 🙂
im sold, gonna get it asap haha
hope you can find some
Great review! I’d love to hear your take on the Xodus Ultra. They have served me well this year.
I will enjoy a beer with this one 👍😊
Saucony needs a high cushion trail running shoe like Hoka. The Peregrine shoes are just too firm for longer runs.
The Xodus is like the Triumph but foe trails. It's a heavy duty workhorse built for tons of miles.
They didn’t know to send you a pair in black color way ???
I'm excited it's not a checkered flag
Hi. Would these be suitable for a tough mudder? I am looking for a pair but unfamiliar with what to buy and what to look for. Thanks
not at all. I haven't done a tough mudder event personally, but I would imagine that a trail shoe would be preferable.
@@kofuzi do you have any suggestions? I was under the assumption these are trail shoes
That yellow mid layer is TPU (Pwrrun+)
in the video where I obtained the still frame, the yellow mid layer wasn't PWRRUN+. but that video is a few years old. they may have changed it.
@@kofuzi their nomenclature is confusing. It is not called pwrrun+ bc they reserve that name for the full tPU midsoles.

I didn't know if Saucony had a special trade name for their rock plate
And the Rock Plate from Saucony is one of the best in finding this compromise...

Can someone, anyone describe the toe box on this shoe?

Would they work for running in snowy roads (Wisconsin)?
I bet they would work well on snow. I wear my peregrine 11s in snow and they work well due to the aggressive lugs
This shoes seems a bit Iikr the Brooks catoemount
i've watched it earlier. i wanted to see again but can't find it so i typed peregrine 12 kofuzi then i saw the tittle says peregine.
thanks for the heads up. I will correct it.
