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.

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 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?
