ProGrid Xodus 2.0

Never had this issue with the xodus and xodus 2. Haven't tried recent models. Will push them to 7-800km before changing.

I've run couple of ultra's in Xodus (first edition). Remarkable shoes if it comes to comfort. Very good allround shoes. But...Xodus 3 just as xodus 1 has a PWRTrack outsole which has terrible grip in wet conditions. I was literally trying to "jump" on dry parts of rock if this was possible.Big plus for rockplate and dual foam midsole. So finding good shoes for ultra will be very depending on conditions. I will however recommend LaSportiva Prodidgio pro. Amazing shoes with excellent traction.

I used Xodus 2 for a 100k and my feet felt great. I just bought a pair of 3s for an upcoming 100 miler so I can change shoes if needed. Positive from my standpoint.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of them! I had the xodus 2 (I believe) and found the sole super stiff.

Really difficult to say. Vibram should be a massive improvement but for me the Xudos 1 was great, 2 upper fell apart and 3 was too narrow for me....we shall see where the 4 goes as an overall package. I think they are coming out in June?

I love the Sauconus Xodus 2.

After years of Hoka Speedgoats and not liking the latest model, I now use the Hoka Mafate Speed for my hikes under 16-18 miles and Saucony Xodus for the long runs/hikes.

I've got the new ones with Vibram. I know the weight is the knock on them, but they rebound extremely well so I haven't noticed it yet. But I haven't done any big runs/hikes yet, so after my 27-mile day hike/run of Kings Peak in Utah coming up I'll have a better feel.

This is actually my first pair of Saucony shoes! I was originally into Altras and then Hokas and Salomons. I absolutely love the fit, though, for my feet. Very little breaking in compared with other shoes. I tend to get hot spots on my heel with firmer, sturdier trail shoes, but that didn't happen with these.
