I’ve had the Xodus Ultra 1 and 2 and loved them, so for my next pair of trail running shoes, I ordered the Xodus Ultra 4. The first fit at home wasn’t great, but seemed okay. However, running in them was a big disappointment. They felt clumsy and stiff on the first run. After the stiffness disappeared, the upper became more flexible, which caused my feet to slide around because the fit was way too wide. Unfortunately, the clumsiness remained. I have to lace the shoes so tightly that they become misshapen—and even then, they still don’t fit properly. Overall, a big disappointment.
