In a recent review by the Kofuzi channel on YouTube, the Saucony Peregrine 12 is described as the first trail shoe from Saucony that their team has tested. The reviewers were pleasantly surprised by an early delivery, receiving the shoe without the standard rundown or spec sheet. As a result, they were eager to lace up and evaluate its performance in a natural habitat—a rigorous run on the trails. Their initial impressions and experience were shared on their channel, showcasing the Peregrine 12 during a testing six-plus-mile run with significant elevation gain.
The Kofuzi channel took a closer look at the specs of the Saucony Peregrine 12 after a week’s worth of runs in the shoe while the reviewer visited family in Connecticut. Although they received the shoe without much product information, the team was able to discern that it featured a four-millimeter heel drop and a midsole crafted from Saucony’s POWERUN foam. The channel highlighted differences in the foam iterations used in other Saucony lines, such as the POWERUN PB in the Endorphin series and the POWERUN Plus in the Triumph series. Furthermore, the outsole’s aggressive lugs boasted the POWERTRAC rubber for durability and grip, while a rock plate nestled in between offered additional foot protection.
The upper design of Peregrine 12 also garnered attention, with a very stretchy and comfortable toe box noted for its breathability. Additional protective measures included a TPU cap and reinforced material in areas susceptible to trail debris and abrasion. The minimal but padded tongue and the efficient lacing system that ensures a tight, even fit were appreciated by the Kofuzi team. They also highlighted a heel cup that secured the ankle without causing any chafing and a pull tab for convenience. The review emphasized Saucony's form-fit system which was described as a composite of different material layers including the plush, BOOST-like POWERRUN PLUS insole that resembled the cushion found in the Saucony Triumph 19.
