Best Alternatives to Saucony Peregrine 15

Peregrine 15 is a 4mm-drop PWRTRAC daily trail shoe: muddy grip and a protective ride, not max-stack ultra foam. Keep it for technical singletrack and wet roots. Leave for Trailfly G 300 Max / Speedgoat when ultra cushion is the week, or a road trainer when connectors are pavement.
