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

I love the Sauconus Xodus 2.
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?
My go to for 50k and under. The xodus is also a great shoe with some more cushion, they are bulkier and you’ll want to heal lock them if your heal is rolling on downhills.
I run the Brooks Casscadia or the Saucony Xodus
I wear the soles bald on my Xoduses. Yours look like that have a lot of life left! I after running on Xoduses for a few years my only complaint has been how shit the Saucony sole is in wet conditions. But I just bought the XU4 on sale and I can’t wait to test the new vibram sole this weekend in the rain.
Depends.on many factors. I retired back then my Saucony Xodus with almost 700km and had this guy in the gym who brought the same model to pieces in just 200 bc he punished them over blade-like granite ridges. So far, the Salomon Genesis is my go-to shoe and it's behaving excellent.
