MixedFirst run in the Peregrine 16: roomier toe box and midfoot than the Xodus Ultra, firm but comfortable step-in, more subdued midsole.

PositiveAbout as close to perfect as a trail shoe gets: the traction they've long loved, a consistent slimmer true-to-size fit, and just a smidge more cushion make it an all-day shoe for almost any terrain, restoring confidence after a lacklustre v15. It can run narrow for some, and it isn't the lightest fast option.

PositiveAn update with trade-offs: still the technical grinder that rips up any trail, and with Vibram it's functionally better than ever, with huge grip and a wide toe box. But for one tester the magic of v15's foam, plate and upper blend is gone, so it feels lesser. Sizing was an issue.
