Xodus Ultra 4 Trail Running Shoe charges over technical terrain with cushioned confidence
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve taken the Xodus Ultra 4 out for back-to-back long trail runs and was blown away by how well it handles varied terrain. It’s soft, energetic, and stable with great grip. The combo of PWRRUN PB and the PWRRUN frame is ideal for ultra distances when your feet need everything."
From daily dirt miles to full-on ultra races, the Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 Trail Running Shoe is built to go long. This high-cushion trail runner is powered by PWRRUN PB foam for responsive comfort and rebound that holds up deep into the miles. The broader platform and stabilizing PWRRUN frame offer structure and support on uneven ground, keeping the ride smooth and stable when fatigue sets in.
The closed mesh upper protects against trail debris while allowing breathability on hot days or long climbs, and the newly updated PWRTRAC outsole provides tacky grip with 4mm lugs for multi-terrain traction. With a roomy fit through the midfoot and a forgiving yet secure feel, the Xodus Ultra 4 is built for serious trail time—whether that’s technical climbs, dusty descents, or smooth stretches of singletrack.

Super comfortable, well cushioned, awesome tread
great trail shoe - super comfortable and super grippy. Very light and breathable upper material. Very well cushioned and i really love the 8mm drop as opposed to the 4mm drop from a previous version that I had. I run from my house to a trail on asphalt for about 1.5km each way...seems that this Vibram sole which is awesome once you hit the trail is a bit less durable than the Saucony PWR Trac Sole. After about 1 month use the tread is starting to wear. Awesome shoe don't have any real change requests other than colours - wish it came in all black (with black or grey foam base - not white) or brown like the Peregrine 15 GTX shoe. The Kodiak / Wine color is not bad.

Great shoe for me
Has a lot of stability. Snug around the ankle which is not a bother for me since I have small ankles, but could be for those with larger ankles. Sole is sturdy and not too much rise.

Big Fan
I bought the Xodus Ultra 4s to replace a pair of Merrell Nova 3s about three months ago. Big fan so far. Great traction and cushioning (I'm 6'4, 235) and the toe-box is really well protected, particularly with an extension of the tread. They're true "trail" shoes, in that they provide a lot of stability on muddy/rocky terrain. Runners looking for something that's more road-friendly might find them heavy. That said, they're sharp-looking and I've been wearing them casually, too.

Thank you!
I didn't expect to like these as much as I do, but I felt strongly enough about it to write a review. The comfort factor of these shoes is insane, plus a nice grippy tread - love it. Incredible blend of breathability and durability. I normally have a bit of an issue with size because I'm not quite a legit 12, and not quite a wide, so I usually struggle to find the perfect fit, but these feel like they were made for me personally. Saucony NAILED this one. Thank you, design team, for making me these shoes!

Great up and great foam/sole!
Amazing shoe, very well constructed, I love the fit and the upper, really snug to my feet. Excellent support, traction (go Vibram!) and stability. I owned Xodus 6, still own Xodus 10, tried Endorphin Edge (could not get lock down with loose upper). Xodus 4 went back to the best fit and comfort possible 2 high tech foams in a high stack shoe that is so stable! The only thing I would beg Sauciony is to keep the drop at 4 MM just like the old Xodus. More natural, More stable.

Great trail shoes
Awesome as always - best in trails and gravel. I mostly run on mountain trails in the Kootenays in BC, Canada. Love these shoes and the men’s green colour is the prettiest this shoe has ever been.

Great fit and comfort
These are possibly the most comfortable trail shoes I have ever worn! They fit my somewhat narrow feet perfectly and are great on the trail and walking around town.

Excellent shoe. Runs large
I had to return these as the pair I recieved were at least a whole half-size larger than normal. Not sure if it was a defect, but not really willing to ship back and forth to try on shoes. I always wear the same size and was surprised to see they ran so large. The quality of materials and plush fit was really supreme. Hope to go in the store and try on another pair to find one that fits. These look like they’ll take a lot of miles with the exception of the heal collar.

Good but not great
I was excited to see the incorporation of the Vibram sole on the 4s and the traction is perfect for all conditions. I don't find any issues with the fit as others have pointed out. However, the fabric in the ankle/heel area is sub-par. My shoes have multiple large holes with less than 200mi of running. My previous versions of Xodus Ultras all have well over 300mi each with no signs of wear in the ankle/heel area. I do have to say that the Xodus Ultra 4s provide an awesome feel that I could run in all day. Please fix the fabric issues in the next model.

Let down
Have had many pair ever since they started with the xodus ultra. The ultra 4 is very disappointing. Foot is cramped. Toe box used to be why I bought the original, 2's and 3's. Now I needed to go up a 1/2 size and still to tight. I'm an avid trail ultra runner and have always used saucony. But I have started shopping other brands. Sad day because I could always order online and I could trust they would always fit out of the box.
