Customer Reviews Saucony Xodus 10

Summited Freel Peak in Tahoe yesterday, first time really putting these shoes to the test. Light, breathable, great grip, stylish. Part of the trail was through a steep fire access road. Others kept sliding, I didn't, whole carrying a 30lb pack. No complaints! Great shoes.

10

Ran two 8 mile runs, right out of the box, all trials. Good support, thick soles, good toe box room. Not as heavy as the prior Xodus, No blisters .....So far so good!

Bought this shoe for trail walking and heavy yard work. They looked so good (blue) decided to keep as my daily driver! Ordered another pair (the moonscape) to be my yard workers!

Many years ago I had a pair of Xodus shoes that were heavy/clunky but comfortable. I ended up relegating them to "light hikers" and didn't run much in them. I was very pleased to see the Xodus 10 have shed a lot of weight and move to a more nimble yet cushioned ride. I've put in about 50 miles in the Xodus 10 so far and I'm sold. My first run in them was a 12 mile mountain run taking the shoes right out of the box. I had no hot spots or issues without a slower "break in" period. For many years the Peregrines have been my go-to shoe and the Xodus 10 moves like a more cushioned Peregrine. If you like the Peregrines, you're sure to like these.

Super soft comfortable ride. I've been running in and loving Peregrine's for years. Tried these for longer trail runs as I rehab a foot injury and am pleasantly surprised how much I like the added padding and protection. I've been wearing them everywhere since they arrived - running, hiking, walking, work... everywhere. There is almost zero discomfort when running on rough trails, only some pressure that let's you know there was something underfoot. Stability is not a good as the Peregrine which has a glued to the trail feel but solid enough to feel confident and continues getting better as I get used to them. After longer runs (20+ miles) my feet still ready for the next run. I'll buy another pair when these wear out.

I tried on 9 different pairs of runners like the exodus and none secured my foot like this sneakers does. The footbed is super soft and cushoiny. My heal is secured. When descending steep hills my toes slide to the front of the sneaker. I'm very picky about my footwear and this trailrunner is awesome.

Normally wear Saucony shoes in a men's 10.5 but occasionally 11, these are the latter. I have flat feet with a high forefoot, width sizing somewhere between D and 2E so struggle to find trail shoes with a low drop that fit my feet. these shoes in size 11 are perfect for me. Required a little break in period, felt a little stiff the first couple of runs but after 20k or so they molded to my feet nicely! Grippy, cushy and locked in for the descent. I will be getting a few back up pairs

The best shoes ever are back with normal colors. Thank you!! These are the best shoes ever. Hopefully you can bring back the vibram soles in the future

I have ran in these shoes four times since I purchased them. I ran in rocky sandy dirt trails and the comfort level is amazing. My feet feel so good after I run. The grip eats up the dirt and rocks and allows me to keep pushing through and keep running. This is my first pair of Saucony's and they have made me a loyalist. Excited to be part of the Saucony team.

Seems like the annual design changes on the Peregrine and Xodus shows have settled in for a bit... I'm never sure if my replacement pair will be better or worse. This iteration of the Xodus is slightly tighter on my foot but. Or so much that the next size up would be a good option, so I'm making the best of it. Wish this shoe was available in a GTX style... why bother with gaiter loops when the shoe is so porous?

Comfort

Xodus will always be my favorite show and I'm just super happy that we have color choices that are normalish. Slime green and all those other colors were pretty bad. Thank you Saucony for releasing a decent looking Xodus again. I wear them every day at work in the hospital and love them. Now if only the vibram sole could come back next season along with similar colors...

I had tried four other trail runners - all different brands - and was becoming very discouraged. My Saucony Xodus 2.0 had worn out and new runners were needed. I finally called Saucony and asked for the shoe they had that most closely resembled my old model. They recommended the Xodus 10, which I couldn't find at my local running outlets, so I reached out to Saucony to order. Once I found the correct size (needed a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size), these shoes were perfect for me. Very comfortable for trail running, hiking and just walking. Saucony was very accommodating as I had to return my first ordered pair due to sizing. Very happy with my purchase.

Owned the previous version, iso 3, for a successful season. Thought I'd try the new peregrines first. Right foot of new Peregrines gave me the worst, and somewhat odd perfectly circular on inside of arch,blister. Couldnt find any defects but binned them regardless. Decided to go back to the xodus line. After 100 miles, all I can say is these shoes are the real deal. Grippy traction (probably 90% or better on everything including muddy wet rocks!!) High comfort sole yet responsive. Trimmed in weight from previous gen. Overall incredibly happy with the shoe. Would love to see an additional colorway so I can have another pair

Definitely a good shoe, but the sole is a little soft. I preferred the Xodus iso 3.

i've got about 30 miles on these and so far so good. i had to buy a size up because of my wide feet and the lack of wide options (tried the peregrine wide snd hated them). i figured out a lacing pattern that works and they fit well enough. they grip well on everything i've encountered. i like the cushion for longer runs but i like the mad river trail fit better, unfortunately i've found that i need more cushion these days if i want to run longer than 8 or so. all the sauconys that i have purchased in the last few years have held up remarkably well, time will tell on these.

The Xodus 10 is an ideal trail shoe where cushion, control and traction are required. It does well on varied terrain from muddy slop to rocky scree.

Love the shoes. Fit was as expected. Would have liked even more arch support.

Overall this is really a great shoe (or hiker) with great cushion, foothold, rock protection and general comfort. I tested this extensively along with 5 other shoes for a single day 50 mile, 17,000 foot elevation gain/descent hut to hut traverse in the White Mountains of NH. A brutal test for a shoe with unrelenting rocks, mud, roots, and elevation change. Bottom line it does not stick well enough in the rocks and I ultimately couldn't trust it. I had to think to much about my foot placement and be ready for it to slip. Vibram MegaGrip would solve this one and only issue I had with the shoes. The Hoka Speedgoat with MegaGrip was far superior in its grip in these rocks and I could trust it and not have to really think about it. It it did slip I was probably really pushing the boundary or the shoe or doing something stupid...which it does let you get away with. The King or all stick was the VJ MAXx shoes. Insanely fun and confidence inspiring but a bit short of cushion for me. If Saucony would change to a stickier compound or better Vibram MegaGrip this would be a killer shoe. As it is although it has great protection with its rock plate I believe it better suited to softer or loose conditions where it excels.

Good shoe with lots of grip. Sole material (PNR TRAC) seems very sturdy and I expect will provide lots of miles

Had to adjust laces to prevent heel slipping. Still feels a little off on the heel. Traction and cushion are so good, though, I am willing to deal with the heel slip. Incredible grip on trail. Road transition is good.

One of my favourite shoes of all time. Please offer it in GTX.
