Saucony Xodus Ultra 4: Conquer the mountain without sacrificing comfort

Trail running isn't just about speed: it's a blend of endurance, technique, varied terrain, and a connection with your surroundings. For these challenges, you need a shoe that can keep up with you every step of the way, without you having to worry about traction, protection, or comfort. The Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 was designed for just that: to run farther, longer, and with confidence .
This fourth edition further refines what already worked in previous versions, offering lightness, stability and protection for runners who think long-term.
Upper: protection without sacrificing agility
The upper has been redesigned with a lighter, more durable, and breathable technical mesh , perfect for long distances on varied terrain. It incorporates strategic heat-sealed reinforcements to protect against rocks, branches, and mud without adding unnecessary weight. The fit is more refined: it hugs the foot securely without creating pressure points, and the heel offers excellent lockdown for technical descents.
Ideal for those seeking a balance between agility, protection and comfort.
Midsole: PWRRUN PB for an ultra-different
The biggest surprise of this edition is the inclusion of PWRRUN PB , Saucony's lightest and most responsive foam (used in their racing models), adapted for trail running. This gives the Xodus Ultra 4 a unique feel in its category : lively and agile cushioning, with rebound and absorption on technical terrain, without becoming unstable. Furthermore, the wider platform improves stability with every stride.
Yes, now you can feel fast in the ultras.
Sole: All-terrain grip with PWRTRAC
The sole is made of PWRTRAC rubber , with an aggressive, multidirectional lug pattern that provides exceptional traction on rocky, loose, wet, or mixed terrain. It is designed to last and withstand extreme conditions, maintaining an efficient transition even on flatter terrain or road connections.
Reliable traction for any type of adventure.
