Positive

They find the Xodus Ultra 4 more stable and comfortable than their Tomir 2, with no heel knocking against rocks. They are ordering a second pair and call it a new favourite.

Blog · Runmag – Corentin · summarized

Positive

A reliable partner for long and very long distances: cushioned on every type of terrain, comfortable and stable, with a capable outsole. The fit and toe-box width won't suit everyone, so try before you buy.

Blog · WearTesters – Drew Whitcomb & Sam Lohse · summarized

Positive

A comfortable, stable cushioned ride with a sticky Vibram outsole. The thick, durable mesh feels supportive but runs hot in summer, and they struggled to get a really solid heel lockdown.

Blog · Road Trail Run – Jen & Jeff V · summarized

Positive

The best all-around trail shoe she has tried this year at $170, like favourite jeans. Another tester V found it soft but well stabilised. Laces come untied, it drains poorly, it's heavier than v3, and the foot slides forward on very steep downhills.
