Saucony Xodus Ultra 4

Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 review: what runners say

Fit

Generous fit through the midfoot — not wide, but enough room for slightly wide feet. Offset lacing loops at the midfoot provide a precise lockdown even with high stack.

Feel

Dual-density midsole: soft, responsive PWRRUN PB core with a stiffer PWRRUN outer shell for stability. The combination delivers energy return at the forefoot without sacrificing heel comfort on long efforts.

Durability

Vibram MegaGrip outsole with 4 mm lugs, rubber thickness above 2 mm. Engineered mesh upper with TPU reinforcements in high-abrasion zones. No structural deterioration reported within 75 km in testing.

Best for

Ultra trail on mixed terrain from flowy to moderately technical. Suited to runners looking for a single model for daily training and racing at long distances. Also works for fast hiking.

Weak points

High weight (306–338 g depending on size) is the most recurring criticism across sources. Some users report laces coming undone during extended use.
