I’m so disappointed in these shoes. I paid $120+ for my first pair of hiking shoes that were not boots to walk the last 100 miles of the Camino de Santiago. They have less than 100 miles walking time on them and the tread is considerably warn (understatement) down to nothing on the toe bed and heal. I do not have time to walk in a new pair before leaving next week.
I bought the xodus ultra 2 & overall love the shoe, I’ve been wearing Saucony Trail runners for many years now, but the lacing system and the laces are awful on this shoe model. The laces are stiff and inflexible, hard to tie for steep downhills . I switched them out to an elastic lace, but the lace wholes are very different on these shoes, it’s a little sturdy string rather than a normal whole and they are very hard to lace up, as well as possibly have more chance of ripping down the road. I also prefer the older treads on the bottom of the shoes, they used to last so much longer, through rougher terrain. I hope in the design of future shoe models you’ll take these concerns into consideration. Thank you
I have owned many pairs of Saucony shoes in the past. But with this pair the quality sure went downhill. The sole tread wore down so fast in a short time span. Quite disappointed. Would not recommend.
Poor quality uppers. I bought two pairs of these and both wore way too quickly on the toe box fabric.
I been using this model for a while and I love it I hope they came out with more colors
I bought this about a month ago and have been running woodland trails and some hard pack or road as well in them. I have been a huge fan of the peregrines for years, but have reached the age where for long miles I need some cushion, regardless of the running surface. Everything I found was either cushioned or had the grip, never both. I was slowly running fewer trail miles, and being very sad. These Xodus are a game changer. Super grippy even when caught out on a rocky trail in a rainstorm, and cushioned enough that I can run forever if I want to.
You can count on us! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
The most comfortable shoes I have had. I normally wear a women's 10, but one shoe felt a bit too short and the insole was not hitting the right place in the 10, so I went up to an 11. I probably should have gone with the 10.5. The 11 is a bit too long, but so comfortable, I kept them and wear them often. I love the tread and the super cushy sole. The stretchy section around your ankle works rather well at keeping debris out of the shoes. Sciatica has kept me from really putting miles on, but I don't doubt these will hold up.
I have a pair of the original Xodus Ultras that I LOVE and they have taken a beating, so I figured it was time for a new pair. Unfortunately, these don't fit like my first pair. After my first hike in these my toes were so sore from jamming into the front of the shoe, an issue I never had with my previous pair. I'm not sure if the whole shoe is smaller, or if they just decided to trim down the toe box, but it is super disappointing. Here's hoping that they'll eventually pack out. =/
The Xodus Ultra was so perfect. So so good. I’ve put so many miles in multiple pairs. So I was really excited about the Xodus Ultra 2… until I put them on. The updated mid of the upper is nice for technical terrain, but WHY the narrow toe box? 7 miles and I’ll never wear them again, just total foot destroyers. I can’t imagine trying to run 100 miles in them like the originals. A truly disappointing update to what was almost the perfect shoe.
Thank you for your feedback on the updated Xodus Ultra. We will be sure to share your comments with our product team.
Ohhhh I really wanted to love these because I love my Saucony road shoes. But these destroyed my feet. I do not understand why more shoe companies producing trail shoes don't get on the big toe box thing. Nobody's feet are tapering to a narrow toe box after 6+ hours of trail running. Two stars because they do have good cushioning with the rock plate. But I'll be sticking to my Topos for trail runs.
