SAUCONY XODUS ULTRA First Run & First Impressions Review. We've had a lot of first run/first impressions videos on the channel so far this year but this one is quite different to all the others and I think we broke a Run4Adventure record while filming. I'd been hearing lots of good things and positive feedback about the new Xodus Ultra trail running shoe from Saucony so I was really looking forward to trying a pair out. I don't want to spoil the ending but the shoe did perform extremely well, in fact, better that I ever could have expected. If you only ever watch one of our first impressions videos, this is the one to watch because the performance of this shoe was mind-blowing!
Really hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

My pair just arrived today, the package is still sitting in the hallway waiting to be unboxed. I'm going to make this a real cliffhanger for me, defer the unboxing til tomorrow, oh, it's like waiting for Christmas as a child... :)

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

I hope you're enjoying your Xodus Ultras! I'm still loving mine and I've put another 40 miles into them since the race, great shoe 👌 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

@aaronm6047 2 года назад

Mate that's incredible! What a first impressions video! 80 miles for a first run has to be a new record for nearly everyone who has ever used a new pIr of shoes 😂 I thought I was mental doing 20 miles in a new pair of shoes and ended up with pretty bad blisters from it haha! Looking forward to the serpent trail 50K hopefully see you there Loyd! 👍🏻

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks Aaron and great to meet you at the Serpent trail 👍 I really wasn't expecting to run that kind of distance in them but they just felt so comfortable. A looped race is actually a really good place to test out new shoes because I was only ever 5 miles away from a shoe change 😊 Thanks for watching and all the support mate, its really appreciated 🙏

@petejohnson1119 Год назад

Great video, I grabbed a nicely discounted pair now the 2nd version is out. I'm doing Endure24 Leeds this year and I had seen your Endure video, glad I did, have just done 27 miles in them out the box, mix of road and trails and they felt fantastic. Cheers for the excellent content!

@phantomwinger 2 года назад

Great going with the race 👏 Been looking forward to this review. It didn't disappoint. Can't really argue with 80 miles out the box. I've thrown pretty much everything the UK has to offer at them and they've been up to it: SWCP, Quantocks and Black Mountains. I found them good in the wet , muddy and rocky. Only minor gripe, same as a few others was rubbing on the ankle bones on steep down hills. But that went pretty soon. These will definitely be worn for Lakeland. Looking forward to the in-depth review. Cheers Lloyd 👍👍

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks very much 👍 I've heard a few people say about the ankle collar but I haven't had any rubbing of any kind? Best of luck at Lakeland and thanks for watching 🙏😊

Well done Lloyd. Saucony really nailed it with this shoe. The PowerRun Plus sock liner really pulls it all together. I did a 25k training run in the Xodus Ultra right out of the box. Never touched the shoe.... wife and I are training for our first 6hour and this is going to be what I use for it.

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks Naim, really glad you enjoyed the video 👍 The race went well but I never expected to run the whole 24hrs in the Xodus! There could be a head to head featuring a few different shoes coming yo the channel soon. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

@brianogrady9883 2 года назад

Well done Loyd! I've been running in my pair for about two weeks and other than them digging into my ankles a bit for the first few runs they have been just stonkingly good. I've bought all of the "super" trail shoes over the last 24 months for my long-distance runs and these are a joy to run in, topping all the competition

@melaniebailey3446 2 года назад

I'm currently trying them around the house (just arriving and deciding whether to keep them), and my only complaint is that they dig into my ankles a bit, so it's good to hear that this resolved for you, as otherwise they feel pretty amazing!

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

That's great to hear Brain, really glad you're enjoying them as well. I've heard a few runners mention the ankle collar needs time to bed in, I didn't have any issues with it but everyone's different 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

Great review. Loving mine after 80km. Unlike the Speedgoat 5's they are lace up and run, no faffing at all. Going to be using mine on the Lakeland 50 next month

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

I totally agree, just put them on and go running! 👌 Really glad you're enjoying your Xodus Ultras as well and best if luck at Lakeland 50 💪 Thanks for watching 🙏

@DartmoorPaul 2 года назад

Wow! 80 miles / 24hrs out the box, I bet even Saucony would be surprised to hear that, my longest was 22 in Altra LP5 😳 And no runners lace lock needed, if you ever use it? Awesome run though Loyd, your body and mind are in great shape leading into July and you must feel super happy with how training is going. Fantastic!

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Cheers Paul 👍 It's great to feel like I've got some fitness back finally and I'm feeling a lot more confident about the TDS! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

@nickpocock8081 Год назад

I took mine out for their first run today. Loved the cushioning but I did find the shoe struggled on small technical trails. I felt like I was rolling over the edges of the shoe. It’s not going to replace the Innov8 G300s for Quantock trails but the comfort is going to be great for ultras.

@alanorcharton8855 2 года назад

Great job !! I just got a pair last week - ran a 9 mile technical trail race and loved them. Got a 50k next month and the fit and comfort of this shoe may work better for me than my Speedgoat 5. I think my longest run in a new shoe is about 12 miles- so 80 is wild. Don’t think I could run 80 miles !

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Of course you could Alan, if you really wanted to 😊 It's good to hear that your enjoying your Xodus Ultras. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

@josiebones1 2 года назад

Big fan of past versions of the Xodus. Probably a top two shoe for me along with the Speed Goats. I run on some very rocky terrain quite often and I enjoy the extra level of protection over the Peregrines which I also quite like. Glad to hear they haven't dropped the ball on the latest revamp!

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

It's a great update! If you enjoy the previous version, you'll love the new one 😊 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

@stuartlaurie6306 Год назад

Great video!! I've got some coming for an upcoming 100 mile Ultra. Will only be wearing them for half though so great to know they should hold up for 50 miles without much breaking in. Size wise, I usually go ½ size bigger in all my running shoes, would you say the Xodus Ultras are true to size as I've read that the toe box is slightly larger? Cheers 👍🏻

Hi Loyd, always appreciate your advice. I’ve got some he Hardmoors 60 coming up in September and have had Peregrines for the last few years on my trail runs. Do you think I’d be better in the Xodus as opposed to getting the new Peregrine 12’s. Thanks in advance 👍🏻

@guilletjean-jacques5107 2 года назад

superbe video , j ai mes Xodus ultra depuis 2 semaines , les miennes sont jaune !!! j ai fais deux sortie de 20 km , deux fois la meme boucle , une fois avec la semelle d origine , et une fois avec ma semelle orthopedique et des lacets non extenssible , et bien le verdict est sans apel , pour moi la semelle d origine est tres confortable , mais associée aux lacet d origine qui sont extenssible cela rend la chaussure instable , je n ais pas aimé , par contre sur le deuxieme essai , la chaussure est devenue 100% stable et securisante , le peids super bien maintenu , et surtout j ai un peu plus de place a l avant pied , ce qui est geniale , quand a l accroche , elle est bonne certe , mais sur roche humide ce n est pas du vibram .......

@rogerrichards8048 2 года назад

Wow - how impressive was that for a first review. I have a pair of Peregrine ISO’s which are great for short distances in wet muddy conditions. However I need something with more cushioning to take on longer runs and that will also perform on tarmac as well as trails. Sounds as if I definitely need to be taking a closer look at the Exodus Ultra!

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Yes Roger, that was my first ever run in the Xodus! I couldn't believe it myself, they just felt so good on I didn't want to change them 👍 It's a very good shoe Roger, definitely worth a closer look. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

@amandaball7116 Год назад

Did you buy any? I need to know whether they can cope / do well on tarmac as from here there are roads to get to trail. Would appreciate your opinion

@rogerrichards8048 Год назад

No I haven’t at the moment. Still a shoe I am looking at but waiting for some discounted shoes to become available. I have purchased a couple of other ‘off road’ shoes which were very competitively priced (Reebok FE4 Adventure & Under Armour Bandit Trail 2) but they are not direct equivalents to the Exodus Ultra.

@markosajn5776 2 года назад

@melaniebailey3446 2 года назад

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

80 miles?? alright Loyd, so training for UTMB is on course i guess! mega! looking forward to that race-video! i've been looking at the Pulsar Trail for a long distance trail shoe, but now i guess you'd prefer the Xodus? are they even compareable?

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks Ozenfant, I'm definitely heading in the right direction now. The 80 miles has given me a lot of confidence as I head towards the TDS. I would personally go for the Xodus Ultra if I had to pick one. There's a bit more structure and substance to the upper and that makes it a lot more comfortable over distance 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for all your amazing support 🙏😊

@RichardDanilda Год назад

I will try these out in the coming week at the shop. I totally love the Akasha, but it is impossible to get a new pair in my size. Don't know why La Sportiva has got so much trouble with production. Well, they are Italians so.. 🤷‍♂️😆 So I am very interested in these Saucony. I guess these are the ones for you at TDS? How is the wear on the outsoles? How many miles have you run un them now?

@Run4Adventure How is the upper of the Xodus Ultra compare to the Peregrine? I think if the Saucony Peregrine (10) and Speedgoat (5) had a love child it would be my favorite shoe (Peregrine upper with Speedgoat midsole).

@EverythingWasGreat 2 года назад

When you reviewed the Pegasus you scored both wet and dry. How is this shoe in wet conditions? Drainage, wet weight, in sole slippage?

Intrigued to know how the Exodus will hold up in more mountainous technical terrain... currently considering the Scarpa Spin Infinity...

After just one trail run of about 10 miles, the treads/lugs are already chipping and chunking off. The run was a trail running/mountain biking trail with some rocky sections, but a lot of dust and sand too. I do not recommend these for rocky terrain at all, but other than the poor durability of the outsole they feel fantastic. Mid sole is a 10/10.

I don't have a wide foot Robin and it fits me really well. I'd say the width is average but it really depends how narrow your feet are? Thanks for watching 🙏😊

another good review and a good shoes but problem is when will they arrive in my country hahaha only Salomon Ultra Glides are available ATM but it's so expensive 180$ USD .. my 1st 30k Trail Run will be on July 24th haha .. if i can't find any alternatives maybe ill just buy the Salomons UG ..

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video. That's a shame they're not available in your country at the moment 😔 To be fair, the Ultra Glide is still a really good trail shoe! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

For me a technical trail is decending a mountain on blocky, rooted or off trail trails. How would you score this shoe on these surfaces over 60 km?

@ajohnson6416 Год назад

Hi, enjoyed your review and I'm going to search through your channel to see if you have updated anything about the shoe. I normally run in Hoka Speedgoats, currently the 5's, but I might have to look into this shoe for my next 100. My reasoning being that the tongue on the 5's literally dug a hole in the tops of both feet during a very technical race recently (72 miles) and I don't think I can tolerate that shoe for my next 100 mile race. How is the tongue on the Xodus? Any how do they stand up to the the Speedgoat 5's? Thanks for any help in this! Oh, I ran a short 3 miles in the Speedgoat 3's before running a 100 miler in them! They were my favorite version of the Speedgoats but of course Hoka can't leave a good shoe alone. Thanks again!

@Run4Adventure Год назад

I loved the Speedgoat 3's, one of the best trail shoes I've run in! 👌 There is another review video of the Xodus Ultra on the channel. The shoes are still performing really well and they have run as well as the SG3's for me, great shoe 😊 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

@ianl4518 2 года назад

Ah, so that was your secret! I was wearing my 'definitely seen better days' Speedgoat 4s. Had I known about the super shoes, I might have made 80miles instead of just 75 🤣 I can't think of my longest run in new shoes, might have done 20km in a pair. Little One is itching to see your E24 film. (no pressure 😁 )

Likewise Loyd. I haven't been able to see these comments as my laptop broke but it's fixed now. Commented on the E24 clip in a bit more detail but I have kind of recovered. My hamstring/quad went very tight on a training run last week and I have The Plague in a few days, eek!

@backpacker778 Год назад

O.k 10 years and more I use the Xodus family . I am the most familiar person with the Xodus alterations over time. What the make better ? To return to firm rubbery external sole . The outer sole has become more and more mushy which is a shame . Solomon do their field running shoes with mushy soft rubber which is unstable and a bad thing. I wish secouny wil make external rubber soles that are on the firm side to isolate from the ground and a bouncy middle sole . Together you get the best shoes ever . The first Xodus did it with firm rubbery vibram outer soles. So outer layer should isolate and be thick rubbery and firm not mushy and then the middle sole should be bouncy taking vibrations out . And you get the best shoes ever.

@kirbyateu 2 года назад

How does the Xodus compare to the Peregrine 12s? My current trail shoes are the P12s and I'm loving them, even more than the SG5s. Also which scenarios would you choose the Xodus over the P12s, and which shoe would you recommend if you could choose one?

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

The Xodus is just like a deeper cushioned Peregrine 12 👍 Without a doubt the Xodus handles distance a lot better than the Peregrine. It's got PWRRUN PB in the midsole so it very comfortable on your longer runs 👍 Hope this helps Justin and thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks for the review. How would they cope with stretches of tarmac in terms of traction in wet, level of cushioning and thirdly durability,

@Run4Adventure Год назад

The level of comfort on tarmac is brilliant and traction is great in the wet. Unfortunately you would wear the lugs down quicker if you road the shoe on the road a lot, like you would with any trail shoe 👍 Hope this helps Amanda and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

@amandaball7116 Год назад

@@Run4Adventure thanks for replying so quickly. That’s really helpful. Yeah I accept the wearing down thing I’m not yet doing v long distance so we are only talking a few miles per run. It’s just that I used my Peregrins on an 11 miler which had some hard packed gravel and tarmac sections which is quite typical of a weekend run and my legs really struggled with the lack of cushion. The other options for a cushioned road to trail/crossover I guess are HOKA challenger but I’ve heard the traction isn’t great, could I guess tey Speedgoat? However….I’ve not ran in HOKA’s as all my shoes are Saucony which seem to suit my feet. So for a crossover what would you buy/wear? Would really value your opinion. I’ve found a pair of EXODUS ultras second hand with hardly any miles on them for £60 that I could buy. I’m out of work so need to be very discerning about my choices

@Run4Adventure Год назад

@@amandaball7116 The Hoka Challenger isn't a great shoe, you'd really struggle with grip and traction going into winter! If you can get a pair of Xodus Ultras for £60 I'd snap them up. The Xodus would run way more comfortable on the hard stuff compared to your Peregrine, it's a great shoe 👌

Wow very impressive 80miles for a first run in the Xodus. I'm now wandering if I should get these trainers or stick with pedigrine. At present I have pedigrine 10 and they have seen better days. Really enjoy your reviews. What other trail trainers would suggest other than saucney?

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Thanks Trevor, glad you enjoyed the video. The Peregrine 10's were a great shoe and I'd say if you've enjoyed running in them, then you'd like the Xodus Ultra 👍 The Salomon Ultra Glide is a nice shoe and it's definitely worth checking out some of the Hoka trail offerings.

Did you find that these fit big? I've never experienced this before in my 10.5 US size but my right foot has some ankle lift and there seems to be lots of extra room in the toes. I actually have to size up to 11 on occasion as my one foot is bigger than the other....so I'm not sure what the issue is here.

@Run4Adventure Год назад

Definitely not Ben, I'm a uk9.5 in most running shoes and I'm a uk9.5 in the Xodus Ultra and they fit perfectly 👍

@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis Год назад

I have had these for a few months now. Honestly these might be top 3 shoes of all time. Saucony needs to keep the midsole platform and not screw it up. Nothing is close to this for me, the only thing that has been wierd is occasionally on down hill parts my toes end up on top of the carrier foam and I notice it. Doesn't really impact performance by sometimes my toes feel like they are on a shelf above my foot. It's just distracting.

@dcdc4312 2 года назад

Hey man! I was wondering how do you think these shoe will hold up on road/pavements? Reason I ask is because before I can go through the trail part I have to run/walk through roads for a good distance.

@Run4Adventure 2 года назад

Ant trail running shoe outsole is going to wear quicker if you are doing long sections of road in them regularly. The rubber compound is slightly softer than the rubber used on road shoes so it offers more grip on the trails. It woukd definitely be comfortable on the road but you will wear the outsole quicker 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

Hi there. I normally run in saucony guide tr.. there support trail shies and had em for years..they dony make em anymore and cant get any.bought these xodus ultra they are ok,but give me pins n needles so not 100% perfect for me..any rec for a good road to trail support shoe, ive tried peregrines and they ripped my feet to shreds...thanks

@Run4Adventure Год назад

Hi Shaun It's tricky because the Guide TR was really a road running shoe with a slightly different outsole. It had a medial post support system because it was a road shoe. When it comes to out and out trail running shoe like the Xodus or the Peregrine they tend to be neutral in structure because the trail environment is a lot more forgiving on the body compared to hard, repetitive tarmac! Maybe have a look at the asic Gel-Trabuco trail shoe because it does have a bit of extra medial support 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 😊
