Saucony Ride TR3 vs Peregrine 16

Ride TR3 or Peregrine 16? Here’s how they compare on feel, fit, brand specs and price, from the fitting team at The Run House.

The short answer

Want a cushioned shoe for roads, gravel and easy trails? Get the Ride TR3.

Want a grippy, versatile trail shoe? Get the Peregrine 16.

Get the Ride TR3 if

• You want more foam underfoot (7mm more at the heel)
• You like a less rigid forefoot
• You like a higher heel-to-toe drop (8mm vs 4mm)

Get the Peregrine 16 if

• You like a stiffer, rocker-style forefoot that rolls you forward
• You want the lighter shoe, by about 0.6 oz
• You prefer a lower drop (4mm vs 8mm)
• You need a wide width

On the run

Ride TR3: The Ride for roads and trails. A road-to-trail Ride, with more PWRRUN+ cushioning, grippy 3.5mm lugs and a rugged upper. Best for easy days and long mixed-surface runs.

Peregrine 16: The versatile trail workhorse. Stable and secure, with comfortable foam and a new Vibram Megagrip outsole that grips and lasts. Shallower lugs make it better on gravel and easier trails, with a little less bite in deep mud.

The Ride TR3 hasn’t been lab tested by RunRepeat yet, so its feel ratings are estimated from the Ride 19 lab test (same PWRRUN+ foam) and Running Warehouse’s description.

Specs side by side

Stack, drop and weight come from each brand’s own website. Numbers marked * aren’t published by the brand and come from other published specs. Weights are for the size each brand quotes. Expected life is our estimate.

Fit

Ride TR3. True to size, with a rugged upper.

Peregrine 16. Runs slightly short, so if you’re between sizes, go up a half. Secure, confidence-inspiring fit, though the toebox tapers. Wide available.
