What owners single out
In their words
“I go trail running in the Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide's backyard. In 2023 I got some Peregrine 12s because the 2E last has more room for my long toes and wide ball of foot. I've just bought two more pairs. The upper is brilliant, very light and tough. It is thin, stretchy and friction-free around the toes, and more rigid and plasticky around the ankle, forming a secure and comfortable collar.”

“Just bought these on sale after wearing out my Peregrine 11s. I liked the 11s a lot. The low heel rise and fairly minimal padding means I feel in touch with the ground and secure. They were comfortable right out of the box and didn't require any breaking in. Good grip going up and down hills, even when steep / wet. Used them for hiking and trail running. Water / sand comes in through top of shoes ”
