Saucony  Xodus Ultra 4 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

I was excited to see the incorporation of the Vibram sole on the 4s and the traction is perfect for all conditions. I don't find any issues with the fit as others have pointed out. However, the fabric in the ankle/heel area is sub-par. My shoes have multiple large holes with less than 200mi of running. My previous versions of Xodus Ultras all have well over 300mi each with no signs of wear in the ankle/heel area. I do have to say that the Xodus Ultra 4s provide an awesome feel that I could run in all day. Please fix the fabric issues in the next model.

Great trail shoe for running. Previously had the Xodus 3 and enjoyed those. Newer version is narrower than 3, but good cushioning inside shoe.

great trail shoe - super comfortable and super grippy. Very light and breathable upper material. Very well cushioned and i really love the 8mm drop as opposed to the 4mm drop from a previous version that I had. I run from my house to a trail on asphalt for about 1.5km each way...seems that this Vibram sole which is awesome once you hit the trail is a bit less durable than the Saucony PWR Trac Sole. After about 1 month use the tread is starting to wear. Awesome shoe don't have any real change requests other than colours - wish it came in all black (with black or grey foam base - not white) or brown like the Peregrine 15 GTX shoe. The Kodiak / Wine color is not bad.

Epic trail shoe, took it on a multi hour run through Acadia on some crazy steep and technical climbs. Fit was dialed the whole time never had to change the laces once, grip held on everything from mud to soft pine needles to exposed granite both wet and dry. Feet were comfortable and the cushioning never bottomed out. 10/10 shoe

Wish I could say much positive. Too much cushion. I have them a week and four runs later have plantar fascia pain and sidelined from training. Entirely different from previous models. Even walking as a casual shoe was uncomfortable. I’m sure some will like them but sadly not for me and I’m suffering the consequence.

Amazing shoes with great grip and comfort. Ran a 50k in them in the rain and sloppy mud, although I did slip a tiny bit in some heavy mud I was one of very few that never fell during the race. Breathability and comfort were great along with great support. Never felt like I needed anything more from these shoes

I love 'em! Fit is good. Cushion is wonderful. They wear well. My feet are happy again! I did find that the loop at the top of the tongue is a little weak and fraying, but that's easily overcome.

I bought these after my Speedgoats cost me a toe nail on my first 20 mile+ trail event in June. Then I ran an extremely technical 50K, 6K feet in the Appalachian Mountains with Xodus Ultra, and the shoes performed extremely well. It was only the second wearing for them as they just came out. The shoe was comfortable. It handled technical rocks, slippery moss, and mud all extremely well. The shoe was submerged several times and went through a 50 minute thunderstorm. It drained well. And most importantly for me, no toe nail issues, no problems with my feet the day after. They feel mildly fatigued. My only nitpick is the laces became untied early and then late in the event. I did use a runner's knot with a double tie, so...? New shoe laces maybe?

I didn't expect to like these as much as I do, but I felt strongly enough about it to write a review. The comfort factor of these shoes is insane, plus a nice grippy tread - love it. Incredible blend of breathability and durability. I normally have a bit of an issue with size because I'm not quite a legit 12, and not quite a wide, so I usually struggle to find the perfect fit, but these feel like they were made for me personally. Saucony NAILED this one. Thank you, design team, for making me these shoes!
