On this episode of Shoe Eating Monster, Julianna laces up the Saucony Xodus Ultra 1 — a chunky trail monster built for long miles and rocky dirt. She scored her pair used for just $40 (!!!), and spoiler alert: they might just be the best budget trail shoes in her closet.
We give the Xodus Ultra 1 a hearty 8/10 Shoe Eating Monsters for durability. These shoes are grippy, stable, and have a smooth (if slightly stiff) ride. Perfect for ultrarunners or trail newbies alike — especially when you find them on sale new for $70!
Whether you're chasing vert, bushwhacking backroads, or just looking to stomp around your local trails, this shoe deserves a spot on your radar.
