FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Xodus Ultra 4?
The primary advantage is its maximum cushioning (PWRRUN PB) combined with a protective chassis, offering exceptional comfort and durability for long-distance trail running.
Is this shoe suitable for road running?
While the cushioning is comfortable, the Xodus Ultra 4 is specifically designed for trail running with features like the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole and robust upper. It may not offer the optimal performance or durability for consistent road use.
What is the lug height?
The lug height is 4mm, providing a good balance of grip for varied trail surfaces without being excessively deep.
Does the shoe come with gaiters?
No, the gaiters are not included. The shoe features a D-ring for easy attachment of compatible gaiters.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 6mm (36mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot).
Are there vegan options available?
Yes, this model is vegan and also contains recycled materials.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony, considering your UK shoe size. The Men's sizes range from 7-15 UK, and Women's from 5-12 UK.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can impede traction. If the issue persists after cleaning, the natural wear of the outsole may be a factor.
Discomfort during long runs
While designed for maximum cushioning, ensure the fit is correct. Try adjusting the lacing or consider if a different shoe with less cushioning might be better suited for your specific foot mechanics and running style.
Debris entering the shoe
The technical mesh offers protection, but very fine debris may still enter. Use the integrated D-ring to attach compatible gaiters for enhanced protection against dust, sand, and small stones.
Upper material feels stiff
The durable technical mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter runs initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Xodus Ultra 4 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The D-ring on the front of the shoe is designed for gaiter compatibility; simply attach your preferred gaiter system to this loop.
Compatibility: This shoe is compatible with most standard trail running gaiters. It is designed for adult male runners (sizes 7-15 UK) and adult female runners (sizes 5-12 UK).
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Xodus Ultra 4 trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy runs, clean off excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Proper storage helps maintain the shape and integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
