 Time for another shoe review. We're gonna take a look at this one, Sokonee Peregrine Seven Ice Edition Winter shoe, let's go So we runners we have a lot of shoes and There's always a need for a new shoe basically and now the winter has come here to Norway and Starting getting icy on the streets and I'm looking at probably spending the winter here I usually travel but because of the Worldwide situation. I am staying in Norway probably this winter. So I needed a good shoe for winter running and so I Tried a few different shoes and I gave the Sokonee Peregrine, I don't know if that's the right pronunciation Peregrine seven ice Shoe a try. It's obviously a winter shoe with the name ice in it looks winter wintery with the blue color and I've tried it now for a few runs and I must say I I like it. I've always had a Problem with the shoes and that is that my foot is so wide in the middle I've tried ultra, but they're typically wide in the toe box not so much around the middle of the shoe though I found that the hoka wide shoes Fit me the best. So I I'm taking a chance going into a different brand But you know, I might as well experiment a little bit and as you can see it is actually quite Wide there around the mid-foot. So it feels like it fits me. Okay Time will tell as I started getting into longer runs because I'm actually just building back up After an injury. So I know that as I get into the you know hour hour and a half to hour runs That's when the width of my foot and the potential Narrowness of the shoe that starts getting a problem. So start becoming a problem. So let's see if that happens or not I feel good in these shoes. They're Comfortable and They're not super light, but they are, you know, they're not super heavy either Think they're reported to be around 260 grams for a US size 9. I have a size 12 Which means that these are a little bit heavier than that, but that's okay In terms of the overall shoe, it's Pretty flexible. There's not much support, which is what I like. I don't like too much support like a natural shoe and The cushioning is pretty dense. It's pretty hard. I'm I'm now used to running in hoca Clifton's for example, those are probably my favorite shoe and I really enjoy the cushioning. So Transitioning to this shoe. I've noticed that I'm missing a little bit of cushioning and I find that to be a Little uncomfortable But then again, maybe it's a good thing, you know to to actually Vary a little bit the amount of cushioning that you run on but on the road it feels very hard and very Unforgiving but on the trails certainly and it is a trail shoe On the trails, it feels good. You don't want to have too much cushioning on the trails because then you sort of lose Control and contact with the ground. I feel like of course These are supposed to be Run on ice and snow and when you get snow, of course, you get a little bit of cushioning from the snow So that's okay. What I'm looking for in the winter shoe This shoe delivers. It has Water-resistant upper. There's a rubber tip here, you know, when you're on the trails, you're kicking into stuff on the trail You don't want the shoe to just rip open. It has a little bit of extra rubber tip there and It feels warm and and dry. Well, of course, the main thing is going to be the sole And so you have got you've got really two options when it comes to winter running when you're running on ice and snow and that is Spikes or no spikes and if you're going spikes, that's of course going to be the most secure and I'll see maybe I'll have spikes set in Put in in this into this shoe or maybe I'll have another shoe that I put spikes in and this shoe though has The Vibram sole and it's it's called Arctic grip and you can see it's like this These things here in between the normal lugs There's these things which which are supposed to then grab the ground a little bit more and provide a little bit more traction on ice and I just got back from a run on ice and Got to really test them and slide along a little bit, of course If you're on pure ice and you slide across it, of course, you're still gonna slide It's not gonna grip the ice like a spikes would so spikes are always going to be the safest option I wouldn't do interval training on the on the ice with these Then you wouldn't need to have spikes But ideally you'd probably want to stick to the treadmill maybe in the winter or a track or something for like For those really fast sessions But I did feel like definitely I Slighted less than I would in a normal shoe in a normal shoe Just you just be all over the place completely out of control But this shoe allowed me to stay pretty comfortable and most of my run was on semi iced Pavement and the shoe provided really good grip. I feel like and on the snow, of course, it has a great grip It's a trail shoe, which is what you want really in a winter shoe if you're gonna run on on snow and on ice and all this You know, there's a lot of stuff on the road in the winter So a trail shoe is gonna be better than a road shoe in the winter. I think The heel to toe drop is four millimeters the offset So I'm used to running in like, yeah four to five millimeters and that's what I enjoy I used to run an ultra zero drop shoes. I Transitioned to a little bit more of a heel drop because my I have some ankle mobility issues And I feel like having a little bit of heel Aids me in my running. So this feels on the very minimal side It does feel like a very minimal shoe actually when I'm running in it Because I'm used to the hook a Clifton. That's a name in the Bondi Which is an extreme maximalist shoe. So in compared to that This is a minimalist shoe. Although there are other shoes more minimalist, of course Yeah, so my my verdict is basically that this is a good shoe. I would recommend it definitely It's not my favorite shoe. Definitely not. I don't feel like it just feels a little bit too I'm forgiving Especially on the pavement, but then there's a time and place for every type of shoe And if you're heading on the icy trails then different that this would definitely be a lot better than a heavily cushioned shoe for sure There's a link in the description.
