Trail Neutral. Built for a premium ride that is responsive on uneven trail surfaces with the ultimate in cushioning and protection. A lightweight Vibram® outsole provides exceptional traction and grip.
Upper: Durable and breathable rip-stop textile upper is built for handling rugged trails. Arch-Lock is a construction method in which the midfoot area of the upper wraps over the foot connecting with the midsole to provide superior control and support by providing a snug and secure midfoot fit. A gusset tongue stays in place and provides extra support. Gaiter compatible to help keep debris from entering the shoe around the ankle. A special pocket on the top of the tongue allows you to tuck away your laces after they are tied to prevent snagging on trail debris and to help keep your laces tied.
Midsole: Heel Progrid™ with Respon-Tek is Saucony's latest impact deflection technology, absorbing impact, dissipating shock and setting the foot up for a smooth transition. SSL EVA is Saucony's most advanced EVA blend that maximizes rebound and durability while minimizing weight. An SRC Impact Zone provides shock attenuation and sets the foot up for a smooth transition. HRC forefoot cushioning is a responsive EVA/rubber compound which provides cushioning through the later stages of the gait cycle. EBO protects the foot from rocks and uneven terrain.
Outsole: Saucony's exclusive Vibram® compound is lightweight and has exceptional traction and grip for off-road conditions. Aggressive traction pattern grips the trails.
Available in width D (Medium).

Runner's World Editor's Choice
October 2008"The Xodus is surprisingly light and soft for a shoe built on a super durable Vibram outsole, which is notoriously hard and heavy. Saucony trimmed some of the weight from the shoe by using lightweight foam in the midsole, with plugs of impact protecting rubber under the heel and forefoot. The design is effective, since our lab tests confirm that the Xodus is one of the softer shoes in this review. Testers praised the cushioned ride and sturdy outsole. We recommended this shoe for runners looking for excellent support across tricky terrain and smooth, sloppy trails."
