Why We Like The Saucony Xodus Ultra 2 Trail Running Shoe
When collecting miles, we lace up with the Xodus Ultra 2 Trail Running Shoe. Equipped with a plush stack of Saucony's pebax-based superfoam, this shoe's platform is lighter, hardier, and bouncier than standard EVA-based midsoles, softening the ground while propelling us into new personal bests. Through the ups and downs of the trail, the 3-piece outsole adapts to the terrain for more ground contact, and its multi-directional lugs chew up the earth, delivering solid strikes and powerful toe offs with every stride.

Perfect for hiking
Bought these shoes specifically for a hiking trip in Arizona. Could not be happier. They are very comfortable even after 10+ miles! Traction is excellent and got me over some very slippery bare rock faces on the trails. Highly recommend!

Narrow Toe Box of Doom
The Xodus Ultra was so perfect. So so good. I’ve put so many miles in multiple pairs. So I was really excited about the Xodus Ultra 2… until I put them on. The updated mid of the upper is nice for technical terrain, but WHY the narrow toe box? 7 miles and I’ll never wear them again, just total foot destroyers. I can’t imagine trying to run 100 miles in them like the originals. A truly disappointing update to what was almost the perfect shoe.

Disappointing Toe Destroyer
Ohhhh I really wanted to love these because I love my Saucony road shoes. But these destroyed my feet. I do not understand why more shoe companies producing trail shoes don't get on the big toe box thing. Nobody's feet are tapering to a narrow toe box after 6+ hours of trail running. Two stars because they do have good cushioning with the rock plate. But I'll be sticking to my Topos for trail runs.

Ultra race tested!
I have a wicked heel-spur and needed the extra cushion for a 50K. The sole was sturdy and handled the rubble and technical trails beautifully. I completed the race with no additional pain. It does add an extra couple of inches to your foot, so remind yourself to pick up your toes!

Go the distance! Hate the color!
I love the improvements from the first version! I used for training sessions or races > 20miles specially in technical terrain, my feet love them!! I hate the color honestly. could be great if you give us other options for colors like yellow or light blue even light green! So 4 starts just because the color it is pretty bad...

always great
I have bought this style for a long time and find it perfect for keeping my feet in good shape while walking 5+ miles daily. The new color grey is a nice neutral, and I have bought the bright green, and blue in the past, both great colors! Fit is normal for fitness shoes.

Great shoes- but do not like the lacing system
I bought the xodus ultra 2 & overall love the shoe, I’ve been wearing Saucony Trail runners for many years now, but the lacing system and the laces are awful on this shoe model. The laces are stiff and inflexible, hard to tie for steep downhills . I switched them out to an elastic lace, but the lace wholes are very different on these shoes, it’s a little sturdy string rather than a normal whole and they are very hard to lace up, as well as possibly have more chance of ripping down the road. I also prefer the older treads on the bottom of the shoes, they used to last so much longer, through rougher terrain. I hope in the design of future shoe models you’ll take these concerns into consideration. Thank you

Love saucony love these shoes
As always, saucony sneakers are pillow soft and comfortable. After purchasing I broke them in on a 16 mile walk and then a 5 mile hike. I typically wear them just walking around town though. They stayed comfortable. They’re also cute and I get compliments on them, and I purchased them because they’re vegan. I’m a size 7.5 and they fit just right.
