FAQs
Are the Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 suitable for road running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the Xodus Ultra 4 is specifically designed for trail running with aggressive outsole traction. They can be used for short road sections, but are not optimized for road surfaces and may wear down faster.
What is the drop on the Xodus Ultra 4?
The shoe features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop (36mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot).
How much do the Xodus Ultra 4 trainers weigh?
A men's size 10 weighs approximately 10.9oz (309g).
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
While the interior is designed to be comfortable, wearing moisture-wicking running socks is highly recommended to manage sweat, prevent blisters, and improve overall comfort, especially on long runs.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe, including the upper, laces, adhesives, and any coatings.
How does the PWRRUN PB cushioning differ from PWRRUN Frame?
PWRRUN PB is a lightweight, super-soft foam that provides excellent energy return and a bouncy feel, typically placed directly underfoot for maximum comfort. PWRRUN Frame is a more responsive and durable foam, often used to frame the softer cushioning for added stability and protection.
What is the lug height on the outsole?
The lug height on the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is 4mm, providing good grip without being excessively deep for varied terrain.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels inconsistent.
Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Embedded mud or debris can reduce grip. Rinse the outsole under water and allow to dry.
Feet feel uncomfortable after long runs.
While designed for max cushioning, ensure the shoe fits correctly. Check if the sizing is appropriate and consider using thicker, cushioned running socks. Allow feet to adapt to the cushioning over a few shorter runs.
Debris entering the shoe.
Utilize the D-ring to attach compatible gaiters. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize gaps around the ankle collar.
Upper mesh shows signs of wear.
While durable, excessive abrasion can damage the mesh. Ensure proper fit to avoid rubbing and use gaiters to protect the lower part of the upper from excessive trail debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The D-ring on the front is for gaiter attachment; simply loop your gaiter onto it for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
- Gaiters: Compatible with most standard trail running gaiters that have a loop or clip for attachment.
- Socks: Recommended for use with moisture-wicking trail running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if dirty, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Remove insoles and laces, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
