Saucony Xodus 10
- Max. comfort at long-distance-running
Saucony Xodus 10 has max. shock absorption and max. comfort.
The upper is a trail-specific version of the popular Formfit-upper which we are are already familiar with from Sauconys normal running shoes. It has an amazing fit around the midfoot but at the same time there is plenty of ventilation by the toes.
There is also plenty of padding around the heel and the tongue below the laces is also thick which combines to make it very comfortable.
Sauconys premium shockabsorbing material named PWRRUN+ is injected into the midsole which provides a soft, protective, pleasant and very bouncy feeling.
There is also a so-called ”rock plate” embedded into the midsole – A solid and semi-hard plate to protect the foot against sharp stones and roots in the surface.
Its perfect for ultra-running, long-distance running or for the runner who just wants max. comfort in various terrains. With Saucony Xodus 10 you get protection and comfort in a class of its own.

Saucony Peregrine 10ST
- For the most challenging conditions
Saucony Peregrine 10 ST is a trail running shoe for soft and muddy terrain. Peregrine 10 ST has the most aggressive knobs out of all Sauconys trail running shoes. And that is an advantage when you are running in soft terrain because it will provide you with a solid grip in mud and other soft surfaces - including snow.
The upper is produced in a durable mesh-material which is breathable but also water-resistant, so you avoid getting drenched on your run.
The Peregrine 10 ST midsole ensures great comfort and provides a protective sensation throughout your run.
Peregrine 10 ST is a versatile trail running shoe as it works wonders on long distances but also works really well on quick and fast runs. Saucony Peregrine 10 ST is a great all-rounder for soft and challenging surfaces.

Saucony Peregrine 10
- When you are going for speed on all distances
Saucony Peregrine 10 is the most versatile trail shoe from Saucony – and actually one of the best trail running shoes in the market. The shoe combines a relatively low weight with high comfort and a superb grip.
The upper is produced in a soft and comfortable mesh which makes it breathable at the same time as it provides a great fit around the foot. The tongue is lightly padded and sewn with an extra layer around the wrist making the shoe sit extra tight and supportive
The Saucony Peregrine 10 midsole provides a super light and pleasant running experience. It has enough shock absorption to provide plenty of comfort on long runs but at the same time it feels quick and light when you speed up.
The shoe is best suited for runs on and off the trail in the woods but can also handle running in mud, on cliffs as well as short stretches on asphalt if you have to cross over it on your trail routes.
