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.

Excellent
I bought this shoe for a hiking trip and it performed incredibly well. This shoe is very comfortable and made hiking on challenging terrain easy. I used this shoe on varying surfaces including mountain hikes and forested paths and had no complaints. Definitely recommend.

Ruined by redesign
A far departure from the originals. The xoodus ultra 2 had a much roomier toe box. They completely redesigned the shoe and it's not better. This shoe actually caused me injuries. On to find another shoe.

Great Update!
Bought a pair of the new Exodus 4's the first week they came out and have had them in my rotation ever since. Very nice update to the 3's. Fit is exactly what you would want from a trail shoe that is for longer efforts, not to roomy, not too snug. A nice update to the 3's which were on the tighter side. New Vibram outsole is, as you'd expect, near perfect. Great traction in any conditions. The cushion level has increased and is a nice combination of plush and energy return. Again just what you'd want from a shoe that will most likely be a workhorse for longer efforts, including 100miles. Some downsides to all this, weight. They are heavier that previous versions and on longer runs with water and dirt/mud, you can feel it. But, don't let that be a deal breaker. Price, fit, cushion level and traction make this a true Ultra shoe that will give you lots of comfortable miles.

DO NOT BUY
Would have left a 0 star review of possible. This shoe fits completely different than the previous xodus models. DO NOT BUY.

Survived a Technical Leviathan with Flying Colors
I bought these after my Speedgoats cost me a toe nail on my first 20 mile+ trail event in June. Then I ran an extremely technical 50K, 6K feet in the Appalachian Mountains with Xodus Ultra, and the shoes performed extremely well. It was only the second wearing for them as they just came out. The shoe was comfortable. It handled technical rocks, slippery moss, and mud all extremely well. The shoe was submerged several times and went through a 50 minute thunderstorm. It drained well. And most importantly for me, no toe nail issues, no problems with my feet the day after. They feel mildly fatigued. My only nitpick is the laces became untied early and then late in the event. I did use a runner's knot with a double tie, so...? New shoe laces maybe?

Epic
Epic trail shoe, took it on a multi hour run through Acadia on some crazy steep and technical climbs. Fit was dialed the whole time never had to change the laces once, grip held on everything from mud to soft pine needles to exposed granite both wet and dry. Feet were comfortable and the cushioning never bottomed out. 10/10 shoe
