FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Xodus Ultra 4 is designed with max cushioning for long-distance comfort, making it suitable for marathons and ultra-marathons, especially on trail courses.

What is the main difference between PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN?

PWRRUN PB is a softer, bouncier foam placed directly underfoot for maximum comfort, while PWRRUN forms a responsive chassis around it, providing durability and stability.

How do I clean trail running shoes?

Remove loose dirt with a brush, then wash with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them completely away from heat sources. Avoid machine washing.

What is the lug depth on the outsole?

The lug depth on the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is 4mm, designed to provide excellent traction on soft earth and varied trail surfaces.

Is this shoe vegan?

Yes, this model is vegan and also contains recycled materials.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 6mm (stack height 36mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot).

Can I use these shoes for hiking?

While they are designed for running, the durable construction, cushioning, and grip make them a capable option for hiking, particularly on challenging or long-distance trails.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after a few miles.

Adjust the lacing system, ensuring even pressure across the midfoot. Try different lacing techniques if needed. The shoe may also need a short break-in period.

Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Small debris can sometimes lodge in the lugs, reducing effectiveness. Wipe the outsole clean after runs.

Feet feel overly warm during runs.

The engineered mesh is breathable, but on extremely hot days, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Gaiter attachment is loose or not secure.

Ensure the gaiter has a compatible attachment point for the D-ring. Check that the gaiter itself is properly secured around your ankle and leg according to its design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Xodus Ultra 4 features a traditional lacing system that allows for a personalized fit. Tighten the laces evenly to secure the midfoot. The integrated D-ring is designed for compatibility with most standard running gaiters. Simply attach your gaiters to the D-ring for added protection against trail debris and moisture.

Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for trail running. They are compatible with most running gaiters. While they can be worn on roads for short distances, their aggressive outsole and cushioning are optimized for off-road terrain.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Xodus Ultra 4 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After each run, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
