Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The Xodus Ultra 4 suits long trail outings where responsive cushioning and a steady rolling ride matter more than quick technical footwork. PWRRUN PB foam and full-coverage Vibram Megagrip traction give it clear strengths for sustained progress across mixed trails. Its substantial build and lack of a rock plate are compromises on fast descents or sharp, rocky ground. The secure upper tapers toward the toes and sizing impressions vary, so allow room for swelling and test the fit with your trail socks before a long adventure.

Before you choose
