Saucony Women's Peregrine 12 GTX Trail Running Shoes - Waterproof Hiking & Outdoor Adventure Footwear for Women

I do some adventure racing, running and walking. Have worn another brand for years but wanted gortex and these were on sale for a really good price. I knew Saucony was a popular brand with a good reputation but mostly just purchased these just to try out during a vacation in Europe that involved a lot of walking, cobblestones, uneven surfaces and potential for rain. Turns out, these are the best shoes I've ever bought. Straight from the box they fit perfectly (I always half size up to accommodate foot swell after long use days) with no break in at all. I also walked through torrential rain and puddles and my feet stayed perfectly dry. Still felt comfortable after 10 days of daily use and lots of walking. Lightweight shoe but with grippy soles. I can't say enough good things about this shoe, this will be my brand from now on.
