Is the Peregrine 14 GTX good for hiking as well as running?

Yes. The grippy 5mm lugs and stable 4mm drop work well for day hikes and casual treks, and the waterproof upper handles wet weather. It is lighter and less cushioned than a dedicated hiking shoe, so long rocky days may feel firm.

How does it compare with the standard Peregrine 14?

Same outsole, stack and drop, but the GTX adds a waterproof membrane. That keeps feet dry at the cost of breathability and a slightly warmer, stiffer feel. Pick the standard version for dry, hot trails.

Does the waterproof upper make it too hot?

Many owners say it runs warm and does not breathe well on mild or hot days. It is best for rain, mud and cool conditions rather than summer running.

What is the drop and stack height?

It has a 4mm heel-to-toe drop with a 28mm heel and 24mm forefoot stack. That is a low, stable setup that suits runners who prefer ground feel over max cushion.

Most buyers find it fits true to size with a secure midfoot and toe room for descents. Runners with wide feet often size up or look at a wider trail model.
