FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Xodus Ultra 4 is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and will drain well if they get wet, but they are not intended to keep water out.
What is the primary surface for this shoe?
These are dedicated trail runners designed for varied terrain including forest paths, rocky trails, and mud.
How long should these shoes last?
Depending on usage and intensity, they generally offer optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles of trail running.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
This is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not contain specific medial posts to correct overpronation.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle occasional road transitions, the 4mm lug pattern is optimized for dirt and rock, and road running will accelerate lug wear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure your laces are properly tensioned using the 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider pairing with lightweight trail gaiters if you are running on fine gravel or loose sand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to conform to your gait.
Cleaning: Remove excess mud after wet runs by air-drying in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the foam cushioning.
Care: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the lug patterns to ensure the Vibram rubber maintains its grip. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Compatibility: The neutral platform is compatible with most aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required.
