Both weigh the same, so the specs decide.
The Saucony Peregrine 15 and the North Face Altamesa 500 V2 both weigh 554 g a pair.
Weights are per pair as Alpinetrek lists them, usually for a medium size, so a few grams either way can come from the size they weighed. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (Saucony Peregrine 15) and Alpinetrek (The North Face Altamesa 500 V2). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.
