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.
Helloooo community!
I'm looking for a shoe recommendation. I've been a big fan of Saucony Exodus. It's been perfect on all aspects, fits perfectly and have finished 50 mile ultras with it. However, for every new version of the shoes, after asking 500kms, it breaks exactly around my little finger and big finger as well.
I'm now thinking finally it might be time to change the brand or shoes. What do you all recommend? Thanks!

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
