Product Details
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: 6-10
FABRIC: Upper - 36% Polyester-Recycled, 36% Polyester, 22% Thermoplastic urethanes, 6% Polyurethane; Midsole - 100% ETPU Foam; Outsole - 100% Rubber

Makes feel like “Riv’s”
"Actually @allarms7 from IG recommended these and I have to say I absolutely love them! The traction of the soles alone is a winner!!! I truly like everything about the shoes, the breathability, support and cushion of this shoe and how fast they dry after running through water. Like I said, mentally I feel like Rivs tearing up the trails when I wear them!!!!"

Love these
"I’ve picked up 3 pairs! I have 2 upcoming races that will be on & off road so wanted a hybrid to give me the support I need. These were amazing from the jump. Set a huge PR at a recent trail race and wore these. Though my body is feeling it, my feet have no pain. Super comfy and not to mention, beautiful"
— Adrienne W. (5/5)
My Favorite Craft Shoe to Date
"My favorite Craft shoe yet. I own 7 pairs of Craft shoes and I bought this one in 2 colors. Lots of cushion, feels nice and bouncy, very comfortable toe box, awesome Vittoria tread."
— Jennifer B. (5/5)
Crafting the Perfect Run
"The Women's Xplor Running Shoe by Craft is like finding the running equivalent of a soulmate. Here's the scoop: Arch support: These shoes are like the overachieving friend who always has your back. My arches feel so supported they might start charging rent. Cushioning: Every step feels like bouncing on a cloud—if clouds were supportive and didn’t vanish under pressure. Weight: Light as air but still packs a punch. If my shoes were a superhero, they'd be The Flash with a side of elegance. Traction: Rain? Gravel? Slippery trails? This shoe grips better than your best friend during a plot twist."
— Natalie W. (5/5)
Perfect trail shoes
"Honestly, I returned the shoes. I loved the structure, the wide, cushiony sole and they had amazing grip. The problem was that I am running on a treadmill and not the trails, I didn’t realize that I had bought trail shoes! I am terrible at ordering online as I generally order before I read all of the details, I am my own worst enemy. However, I will be ordering another pair just as soon as my return is processed. Craft shoes are so superior to any other running shoe I’ve ever owned. Keep up the stellar work!!"
— Brandi S. (5/5)
The rubber outsole is outstanding,
"The rubber outsole is outstanding, and the upper is nice, it doesn't cause any hotspots or blisters. I bought this shoe for winter running. The upper lets the air through, so I wear waterproof socks when the temps are cold. The midsole material feels outdated, especially after running in the NB SC Trainer v3 before the winter. This shoe isn't soft or bouncy, which I'm used to in road shoes that use more modern materials."
— Zsofia S. (3/5)
Great Grippy Shoes
"The shoes are great and the tread is "grippy". The shoes work great for dirt, gravel and paved roads. They are the same great Craft shoes I've come to know and love. Just enough cushion and the green colors are wonderful."
— Gina K. (5/5)
"Very comfortable shoes right out the box!"

"Clompy and big. Not very responsive compared to most any other shoe I wear"
