I hope that Topo will always make this shoe as for me it has been the best yet. I went from Altra Timps and Altra Torin to this shoe. I spent a pretty penny on ON shoes, too, and they ended up just being 'go to town' shoe as they were not great for running. I bought the Topo Terraventure after I put quite a few miles on the Ultraventure. And while it is a good shoe, the Ultraventure suits me better. I have to run on pavement or cement for about two miles before I can hit the trail or dirt. This shoe has taken a beating from me and never failed me. I have to be careful as some shoes really aggravate my lower back. The Altra drop is one that makes my back hurt. Also, on occasion I deal with slight plantar pain, not from running, but from a summer of flip flops and barefoot. I have never had problems with this shoe. Also, my toes do not feel cramped.
I run anywhere from 20 to 30 miles a week and rarely anything shorter than 7 miles.
So please Topo, keep this one around.

Disclaimer - I am not a runner. I needed a quality shoe with great support and a wide toe box to alleviate my foot pain due to a neuroma, which was causing daily pain. From the minute I tried these on, my foot felt better. I wear these everyday, from light hikes to my home elliptical. The support is great, the fit is perfect, and the shoe is lightweight and cute enough to wear with anything. These are super comfortable with perfect support. I would recommend!

59 yr old hiker. I climb Mt Whitney and hike Rim to Rim every year. Started to get a bunion and some arthritis in my big toe. Have gone through so many shoes and struggle with blisters and sore, aching feet...
These shoes are incredibly comfortable and accommodate my wider forefoot while still cuddling my heel. Have been on rocky terrain and feel so good and stable. Will buy multiple pairs in case y'all change things up!

I'M IN LOVE WITH THESE SHOES. I used a total of 3 pairs throughout the PCT. I got 600, 1000, and 1000 miles out of the pairs... that is INSANE. All the suckers in Altras were so jealous lol they are lucky to get 400 miles out of a pair. They stayed comfortable and in shockingly good condition (ie minimal tears in fabric spots) considering how much I put them through. Sized up a full size to account for feet swelling, which proved to be the perfect decision. I will never go back to hiking boots for well maintained trail travel and plan to stick with this style for as long as Topo Athletic makes them!

Love love LOVE the Ultraventure. As an active person with multiple chronic, painful foot issues I spent HUNDREDS of dollars trying to find the right shoe. Ultraventure FINALLY allows me to hike and walk relatively pain-free. PLEASE do not change the style of this shoe. Please!!

The wide toe box is just wide enough that my toes can spread as they need to battle my Mortons neuroma, but not too wide that you feel like you are in clown shoes. I really love the stability in the mid-section of the shoe. I have tried other wide-toe box brands like Altra, but always hated that there is no arch support or stability. These Ultraventure Topo shoes feel secure around my mid-foot and provide the support around the arch that I love. I also really appreciate a rugged trail shoe with more cushion like this has.

Excellent shoe, excellent fit and comfortable right out of the box. I always need a roomy toe box which these have. Topo Athletic has zipped to the top of my athletic shoe list; so much so that I've ordered two additional styles/types of Topo's. Very happy with these.

I do moderate/difficult trail hikes. These are great for all terrain. They are solid and I feel safe going downhill, but not sticky. And the fit is SO comfy! I LOVE THESE SHOES!! My chiropractor also loves them and recommended them to me. #chiropractorapproved

I decided to try these after wearing out my Mountain Racers. They seem to have a smidge more cushioning than the Mountain Racers, and are very comfortable.

I’m replacing my ON running shoes with these. I need a fair amount of cushioning for trails running. I love the ON road shoes for sandy trail running, but rocks get stuck in the lugs daily and they wear out really fast. I can’t afford new shoes every 5-6 months. I’ve only done one run in these, but the toe box is roomy without feeling too big. I can lace it so my arches feel supported. They are comfortable right off the bat and look to be well made and durable. We will see!

Omg, these are awesome! I am new to the brand. I am not a runner, I am a walker. My feet are wide and one of them has a bunion. Finding comfortable, attractive sneakers that do not make me feel that I am dragging a pair of barges has always been a struggle. I could not believe how comfortable these were right out of the box. I immediately went for a 4 mile hike in the woods with the original insoles. They felt cushy, feather light and the soles gripped the wet terrain very well. The next day I tried 4 miles on the road using with my orthotics instead. Usually I need to break in sneakers for a few weeks before I can use my orthotics but these felt perfect right from the start. I usually wear a 9W but I followed Zappos suggestion and ordered a 9.5 to accommodate my wide feet. There is maybe a very, very slight movement at the heel which is not a problem for me as a walker. I like that the soft uppers do not constrict my bunion. But most of all I love how pretty these look on my feet. The blue color make a good extension to my jeans and lengthen the look of my legs. The wide toe box narrowing toward the ankle give the shoe a great profile. I am so amazed by these that I am considering buying another pair to make sure I have either a spare or to have a pair just to go around town.

I'm no longer a runner but bought these for walking and hiking and they are excellent right out of the box. I normally wear 7 or 7 1/2 depending on the shoe and specifically the toe box width. I bought these in a 7 1/2; they are perfect in size and extremely comfortable. Best shoes I've had in a very long time and I really appreciate that they are vegan. I will likely buy another pair in another color. Definitely with trying if you're on the fence.

These are so darn comfortable I bought another pair off Amazon as they were sold out here. I wish they came in different colors. But I ended up purchasing a few other Topo's to see if they have the same quality/comfort as these.

This hiking season I went through four different shoes before finally finding Topos. I'm giving these five stars after a 22 mile hiking trip. Comfortable mile after mile right out of the box. These are a perfect marriage of toe box room and cushion. Rugged and decently priced. Size up 1/2 size. I will buy again and again.

I've used several other "major" brand shoes and every single time they fall short. I hit like 200, 250 miles on those other shoes and I feel every time rock on my runs. I decided to try these out because I swear by anything with Vibram soles.
I just rolled over 500 miles on my last run. The soles don't show any sign of wearing through like other shoes i've used did at 200 miles. I'm probably hitting the end of the cushion at this point, I do feel rocks now! GREAT SHOES! ORDERING AGAIN!

Two foot surgeries and with Covid my feet aren't getting a break by swimming every other day. 5 miles a day, every day was becoming problematic. I have two other pairs of Topos with different drops but not the same cushioning as the Ultraventure. These have solved my issues. My feet have seen allot of action over the years and I will be purchasing again. First bought Topos because they are great for my spine.

Size: I am a solid 8.5 in all shoes but the Topo shoes I size up .5 size.
Fit: I just switched to Topo after wearing Altras and Hokas the past couple years. My feet slide around a lot in Altras but Topos fit like a glove.
Sturdiness/Quality: I have put 250 miles on them in the last month with no problems. Just ran a very technical 100k in Idaho and they were amazing.
I have Morton's Neuromas in both feet, and had trouble finding a shoe that fit and didn't hurt. These are it!! So happy
