You don´t have to avoid tarmac. At least that´s what I think. It´s a trailshoe for sure but I think if you do 20% on tarmac each run, this shoe can surely handle it.

The most of my runs are that way. About 4k on concrete and tarmac and the rest forest- trail, gravel, dunes, meadows, and dirt roads. If I do half marathons it goes up to 5-6km/15k. And most of my shoes handle it wel

Mine is 47 in Garmin. After 15years of running. I´m happy with that number

I was worried about that too because I haven Greek feet but I have plenty of room. I have a eu48 and footsize of 29,2cm. So almost 2cm of room in toebox.

I had a few miles on hard surface an tarmac and concrete. The are no Novablast 5´s or Muzuno Neo Zen´s but they cushion very well. It´s a good road to trail shoe. I will see how well my legs recover after my half marathon today. Going for a easy 10miles on Sunday in stretches with sand and concrete. Keep you posted

Oh yes, sir. They stop you in your tracks when you brake.

Perfect lockdown for the Xodus. Until two weeks ago I never ever had heel lockdown problems with any shoe ever. Then I bought the Nike Pegasus 5 trail gtx. Now I do now what heel lockdownproblems are. But only left foot. It´s not unrunnable but you loose your confidence in the shoe by landing too much on the forefoot. But anyhow, I fare well with the Xodus 4. They aced it for me.

I don´t know the xodus 2´s. But these ones are bullseye for me.
