Saucony Xodus 5.0

Saucony is one of those brands that every runner knows, but off-road in tracks and trails is perhaps not as well known. The model we speak today, the Xodus 5.0 are declared flagship Saucony on trail.

We can say that the Xodus 5.0 surprised us for many reasons. At calzarlas our first feeling was a certain stiffness. After the first impressions and a few steps, we acclimatize and then perceive the advantages of an upmarket which is very comfortable and fluffy and also check that the fit is really good and very safe.

In the midsole are three technologies:

-The SSL EVA, EVA derivative uses Saucony, with double density to control overpronation, maximize rebound and durability while minimizing weight.

- The Powergrip composed of Saucony that now extends throughout the shoe and absorb addresses impact and distribute pressure so that not only allows smoother reception but also a considerable response. Come on, it makes the transition tread is smooth and pleasant.

- The EBO (or External Bedrock Outsole), located in the forefoot and protected from rocks and other elements that we can find our wayoozes.

In terms of stability, on all four sides. It has strips designed specifically for the trail, located in the middle and rear and which fit our foot. And do not forget the Pro Lock, the side strip is born in the bridge area and reaches central eyelets. Their mission: to embrace the foot in the time we tighten the lacestissue..

The heel is high and has in its interior with a dry devised to keep our feet on the longer runs  Saucony calls "Run Dry". But not only keep our feet dry. Thanks to its soft touch will also prevent us suffering abrasions and given the good fit that gives the set also prevent the heel from moving, thus providing greater comfort and stability.

If there is something that Saucony has highlighted is always that their uppers are very ventiladitos and keep feet dry outstandingly and they Xodus 5.0 you would expect, just seeing the ease with which the upper light and let us do an idea of his good ventilation. In fact the balance protection / transpirailidad is very successful.

The Saucony Xodus 5.0 are slippers with which we can face workouts or racing distance you want (each one puts its rational limit). Oriented runners over 70 kg and with neutral feet (I think those who are between 75 and 80 are the clearest customers) that prevail cushioning and comfort. We are facing a real Swiss Army knife for his aggressive outsole allow us to deal with any guarantees ample terrain that decide steam.
