Best praise vs top criticism for Saucony Peregrine 13
“I ended up with a few Saucony shoes so needed a dedicated cupboard to store them in - thank you Ikea! The spaces in the shelves are for the Saucony shoes that are temporarily elsewhere and there are a couple of non Saucony shoes here: **Top Row:** New Balance Hanzo S V2 (not used much now, but was one of my two 5k Park Run shoes) Saucony Type A8 (not used much now, but was one of my two 5k Park Run shoes) Saucony Sinister (tried them for a 5k and just didn't seem to give me the pace I get from super shoes - but need to try them again) **2nd Row:** Saucony Endorphin Shift 3 Runshield (easy runs when it is wet) Saucony Endorphin Shift 3 (easy runs) Saucony Triumph 20 (easy runs, bought for $50 as an alternative to the Shift 3s and actually think they are better) space (should be Tempus but they are on a lower shelf for some reason) **3rd Row:** Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 (replaced my Speed 3s that were end of life, I find the Speed 2s to be more fun and lively and luckily have a couple of new pairs still in boxes. Typically used for Tempo runs) Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 (was my race shoe, now used for Threshold runs) Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 (Just bought and used in a half marathon last weekend - actually prefer the Pro 3s) Saucony Endorphin Elite (5k/10k+ race shoes - amazing shoe and got my 5k and 10k PBs in these) **4th Row:** Saucony Zealot 3 (easy run shoes bought a while ago and just slowly working through my backlog of them and then will not be replaced) Saucony Kinvara 10 (Tempo run shoes bought a while ago and just slowly working through my backlog of Kinvara 10/12s and then will not be replaced) Saucony Tempus (Nice easy run shoe with a bit of stability) Adidas Takumi Sen 8 (5k race shoe, about to be replaced with the Takumi Sen 10) **5th Row:** Saucony Peregrine ISO (dry weather trail runs) Saucony Endorphin Edge (dry weather fast trail runs) space (should be Saucony Peregrine 12 GTX - wet weather trail runs) **6th Row:** Kids Kinvara/Endorphin shoes for 5k Park Runs ​ I'm fairly new to running (started about 5 years ago) so has taken a while for me to figure out what shoes I want for what, hence the collection - and also I bought a few too many pairs in fire sales - not realizing that the models are refreshed annually and are on sale multiple times a year. If I was building a rotation from new then it would be: Easy Runs - Tempus/Triumph Tempo Runs - Endorphin Speed 2/3 Threshold Runs - Endorphin Pro 3 Races - Adidas Takumi Sen / Endorphin Elite ​ https://preview.redd.it/8uidnmbcr3qc1.jpeg?width=733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=463666fb4de010281ecde4ddc8494203f1db66fd”
“I don't consider the Norda a super shoe, but that is probably most versatile, but also the slowest. I find the grip on Saucony horrible on wet terrain, which makes their versatility bad. Adidas has worked great for me and I got 750 km in them so far, but they're not good on anything technical for me. My foot sits pretty good inside the foam, but the narrow mid and heel still make them really unstable if I don't land on the forefoot. The Pumas don't seem to have this problem even if its narrower in the front and my feet don't sit so much inside the foam. But they feel more close to the ground than Adidas. I think Pumas may be more versatile for shorter runs. As for fast, all three feel very fast to me.”
