Featured in Forbes' The Science of Trail Running Traction by Tim Newcomb

"It’s cruisy and comfortable in a variety of conditions. I’ve spent more miles in the Xplor than any other shoe this winter because of this very sensation. " - Taylor @ Believe in the Run

Introducing the Craft Xplor, the ultimate running shoe designed for the runner who demand versatility. Inspired by gravel cycling, it transitions effortlessly from asphalt to rugged trails. Collaboratively engineered with Vittoria, renowned for their tire technology, this shoe features a cutting-edge outsole pattern that excels on any surface condition. The Px midsole foam provides a soft, responsive ride while maintaining the stability required for off-road trails. Ideal for the runner who loves both city streets and nature paths, the Craft Xplor is the perfect companion for your next adventure.

 

FEATURES: 

  • Vittoria outsole provides incredible traction and durability 

  • Px Foam midsole provides unparalleled cushion and bounce 

TECH SPECS:

Weight: 10.5oz (300 grams) 

The earlier Craft Xplor (Black, Blaze, Multi) has a higher stack: 38.5mm heel / 32.5mm forefoot. This gives it a softer, more cushioned ride—great for longer runs or added comfort.

The newer version (Clay, Jade, Lazer) is slightly lower at 36mm/30mm, which offers a lighter, more responsive feel with better ground contact—ideal for everyday training or quicker runs.

Both have a 6mm drop, so the overall running mechanics stay similar—it really comes down to whether you want more cushion or more agility.

SIZE: 8-13

FABRIC: Upper - 36% Polyester-Recycled, 36% Polyester, 22% Thermoplastic urethanes, 6% Polyurethane; Midsole - 100% ETPU Foam; Outsole - 100% Rubber

Reviews

Perfect fit right out of the box

"Super plush cushion and great fit, with a smooth ride and traction that's ideal for the mixed trails, dirt roads and pavement I typically run. The upper comforms to my (standard size 11 D) easily and stretches just a bit to accommodate a small bunion without any rubbing or hot spots. Superb shoe!"

— Jim G. (5/5)

"This is a great trail performer for light days, and for the heel striker in me. Between Xplor and Xplor II I have two great gear for how I will train that day. I get into my Xplor for light trail runs, lifting weights, and treadmill training. These are great for my light days all around, but it is versatile and useful for everything. Looks great too."

— AMIR B. (4/5)

"Very comfortable, and high quality"

Xplor the world!

Great ride out of the

"Great ride out of the box. Nice bounce on road/gravel."

Craft Xplor

"The midsole and outsole are excellent. It's plenty fast and light enough. It really excells in mud. They'll sink consistently until they find grip which keeps you from sliding. Vibram would perform better on moss and algae covered rocks but worse on hard sandy surfaces. The upper is too large and has too much stretch to it. It keeps me from being able to lace it tight enough. And it gets looser if they get wet. It might work well if you have wide feet. I wish they made this exact shoe with an upper material similar to Nike's vaporweave."

— Will S. (3/5)

"This is my second pair of these shoes. I love them for everything. It would be hard to find a better trail shoe unless you need to keep your feet dry. They do dry very fast though."

— Shawn (5/5)

Comfy!

"Love these comfy kicks! Worth noting, I needed a half size up from normal, otherwise fit is great."

— Eric S. (5/5)

A good shoe

"A wonderful shoe for road to trail."

— Michael H. (5/5)

Complete shoe!

"Light enough to run comfortably on the road, enough grip to hit the trails and avoid the ankle breakers"

— Steven K. (5/5)
