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.
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.
Saucony xodus is fits the bill for what you’re looking for. Very underrated shoe imo
I share your love of the endorphin edge, but it’s not coming back sadly. Ride Tr, Guide Tr, Xodus and peregrine are all you’re getting from saucony as far as trail shoes go. They’re trying to pare down their lineup as they feel it’s been too saturated with different models.
I have the pros and for my weight they seem really stable and people are getting great longevity. The foam softness is just right to get some pop for me as im 80kg ish. I did many races in the original xodus and they are ok ish at most things but really not a great interval / speed option for me not very shock absorbing. The newer ones might be softer though. What sort of speeds are you running? Because a heavier more forgiving and hard wearing shoe might be good like the prodigio max or something snappier and more enjoyable if your smaller and or faster?
I wish the xodus weren't so expensive but I do really like them.
I love the Xodus, I have to agree they're very underrated.
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!
Never had this issue with the xodus and xodus 2. Haven't tried recent models. Will push them to 7-800km before changing.
