Customer Reviews Saucony ProGrid™ Xodus 2.0

One of the best looking shoes ever! Also great on the trails. I just used these to run on some trails in Utah and they were awesome. They aren't the lightest shoes in the world, but they are lighter then some of the other trail shoes that I have owned.

Nice Vibram sole (sticky), would be nice if the same model was offered with a Gore-Tex liner.

I feel this is an awesome trail running shoe, but I had a string pull through one of the eyelets. I was able to repair it being a hands on person though a problem like that after 20 miles on the treadmill mill and about 15 miles running around base is annoying. I kept them because they are really nice on rough terrain and they have really nice shock absorbing rubbery material for the soles that will not pancake like foam. Outstanding service especially for going through military mail. Thank you Zappos.

Nice shoe, but more for rugged outdoor sports - not best for simply running on treadmill or road. Also the orange really stands out and takes over the look of the shoe.

I recently bought these in green and I really like them. The one negative (for me) is that they have a slightly lower profile than my previous Saucony trail shoes. And, since I have to wear inserts (Power Step Pinnacle, which are kind of thick), this makes my foot sit higher in the shoe and makes these not so good for trail running - too easy to roll my ankle. But, I still really like them - I wear them to the gym and around town and they look good!

This shoe is very well made but not too flashy. The heel cup is a tad bit roomy with an overall fit best suited for a mid to low volume foot. They will accommodate a pair of Super Feet or your orthotics. Nice cushioning in the midsole but at the same time gives you a connected feel to the trail. I have worn lots of shoes with Vibram outsoles which are the best in the world but they missed on this one. These shoes do not do well on technical trails and best suited for the lighter stuff. No off camber or lateral grip due to the compact spacing and uniform tread design. Overall a nice comfortable shoe that will last a while.

This shoe was made for underpronators or neutral-gait runners. If you are not those types, this shoe might not be comfortable. The insoles will give you some pain into your arches. Come on, Saucony! Make some good trail running shoes for overpronators, too. More than 70% of Americans are overpronators!

These shoes are very uncomfortable out of the box, and extremely stiff. Also, the toebox area is extremely tight. They look great but at this price they should be comfy right out of the box.

Update. I used these on a 30k trail race. The good: No blisters. Shed mud well. (it was a very muddy race). Great rock protection. They are quite snug. The bad: They are quite stiff. About 2 miles into the race the back of the heel was putting a lot of pressure on my calcaneus (the bone in the back of your foot). That's a real downer. I wish these were a bit more comfortable. If I hadn't absolutely covered them in mud, I'd probably return them.

These are the worst trail running shoes I have ever bought. They are very stiff and they don't have enough cushioning. Also, grip is not good as much as Saucony advertised.
