As one of the longest-running trail series, it’s safe to say the Peregrine is among the first shoes runners think about when going offroad. It can handle nearly anything you throw at it thanks to its tried-and-true comfort, agility, and traction. But what truly puts the v13 above its predecessors is its thicker slab of midsole foam—making it even more capable for easy days, long slow miles, and the occasional race through punishing terrains.

How we test trail running shoes

To determine which models make our best lists, we put all the shoes to the test that involves actual off-road testing and a rigorous lab test. Each trail shoe has been weighed and measured using the following approach:

  • We purchase all our wide trail running shoes from our own pockets. This makes sure we avoid any taint of bias and brand loyalty.
  • For more thorough testing, we bring the shoes to our independent lab. We then cut the shoes into their essential parts. We measure 30+ parameters of the shoe and keep a record of all necessary data.
  • We ask our trail runners in the team to wear them in their next training sessions or their actual race. This helps us gain more perspective and figure out the real strengths and weaknesses of each model.
  • We collect more information from trail running experts and regular folks with wide foot problems who have tried the shoe.

and thanks for reading Running Times CoreScore system to see the final ratings (from 0-100) of a particular pair of shoes. All the highly-rated wide trail running shoes are included in the final list.
