First run in v1 today. Before my run, swapped out laces and I don’t prefer stretchy laces. I think for me that was the right decision and it was very stable and good lockdown. (Torrent 2 laces were used ) . So far so good on 6 mile outing in semi tech terrain.
@Thefifaplayeryant Жыл бұрын
I also changed the laces, but finding the middle ground between too tight and enough foothold (need to use the heel lock in most of my shoes) is Sometimes difficult. Apart from this, very good shoe, negative is that they run heavier than the actual weight might suggest and are borderline in technical terrain...midsole is great though

Love the Xodus Ultra and also have the Mafate Speed 4 and recently got the Peregrine 13. They are all great and are in constant rotation for the trails. I don't *NEED* the Xodus Ultra 2 but it seems I won't be able to resist when it becomes available in the US. Whenever it comes to trail shoes, Lloyd, it seems whatever you like works perfectly for me.

@@ianwarner1429 Yes, the Peregrine 13 is noticeably lighter and more nimble than the Ultra. I have two pairs of the Ultra and they are around 9.6~9.7 ounces (273g) in my size 8 US and the Peregrine 13 is 254g. Not a huge difference but noticeable. I haven't tried the previous Peregrine models but the cushioning on the 13 is pretty good. I've never run 50km distances so I can't say whether the 13 would be good for that. To me, it's not as comfy underfoot as the Ultras but the Peregrine 13 is faster and more nimble for sure.

Thanks for the review! You turned me onto the original Ultra, and it's my favorite trail shoe of all time, so I was excited to give the v2 a go. The only complaint I had with the original was the upper/laces would loosen up while running. So I was excited to give the v2 a go since they addressed that. Unfortunately, the new upper material for me is not durable.. at all. After 100 miles of trail use, I already have upper tearing/holes along the inside knuckle area of the shoe where it bends. Pretty bummed, because I love the way this v2 runs and feels. The upper durability is a huge step down from the original for me. Have you noticed any durability issues since this review?

Hey Lloyd! Great review. The Xodus Ultra has been an awesome shoe to run in (I have the black RUNSHIELD version) and it got me through Autumn and winter (and beyond). Still some gas left in it's tank but I'm certainly looking to pick up another pair or possibly the 2's considering they've done the shoe right and left a lot of it untouched! Still not certain on the colour ways, I feel like the Peregrine 13 got a bit more love in the visual department but hey ho. The 2's are certainly looking a bit more interesting. Any NNormal Kjerag/Tomir or Arcteryx Norvan LD3 reviews on the horizon? I'm intrigued by both! Keep up the good work.

Contrary to your experience my outsoles are holding up fine but the upper has split on the flex point after ~600km. Are my expectations just too high? I'm hoping it's not that my feet just don't suit Saucony shoes as I love the grip and performance. Same thing happened to my peregrine 10s, but the 11s we're nigh on indestructible.

Unfortunately the desert is a pretty harsh environment and I think a lot of running shoes would struggle there? When ever you watch any videos featuring races like the MDS, runners are struggling with their shoes falling a part Brett 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

@@Run4Adventure Extremely helpful! I just bought several pairs for an ambitious fastpack thruhike. It was a big decision and couldn't have done it confidently without your review.

Those trailshoes are never durable. Took the exodus trekking in Nepal and after Annapurna Circuit it was ready for retirement. 3/10

To be fair, the Xodus Ultra is a trail running shoe and not a trekking shoe Christian. I should imagine the Annapurna circuit is pretty rocky and technical underfoot, maybe a walking shoe would have been better 🤔
