Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Runventure 3

Use these daily. Love the space for my forefoot.

This particular model of Topo I use for road running, walking, and everyday use. This model pairs cushion with the perfect toe box. I use these in conjunction with the Ultaventures for hiking. Across the boards this brand delivers for every activity.

Perfect for light hiking with vibram sole that has good traction. Fit is very comfortable for my wide feet.

Love these Topos. The toe box is perfect. I have a bunion and these shoes were not an issue straight out of the box. The cushioning is marvelous. I am always on the quest for shoes that are comfortable and when I find ones that work and feel so goodl I get two of them....just purchased a second pair. Thank you!

These shoes are comfortable and are also really supportive. I alternate walking and hiking and they function so well for both. I was pleasantly surprised at how light and breathable they are.

This shoe is perfect for hiking in the mountains. Love the stability on uneven terrain and rocks. Super comfortable.

These shoes feel great right off the bat! I had been pretty loyal to the UltraFly 3s and am still alternating between those and my new Phantoms, but am really happy I gave these a try! I am between an 8 and an 8.5 and ordered an 8, which fit me well. I put them on and they felt right - love the toe box and they're still secure through the midfoot and heel. Excited to get some more miles in with them!

I'm 61 and have been running my whole life. I had a herniated disc operation years ago and my back began to hurt after I ran. These have not hurt my back !! I've worn zero drop shoes but these TOPO have a less drop also but are more stable and holds my foot more secure. Larger toe box is so great for my toes. I'm in Florida so it gets hot and feet swell so the toe box keeps my toes from cramming into the end of the shoe.

I am still testing out these shoes. But my first impression is... I like the roomy toe box and how secure my foot feels in the shoe. For me, the midfoot is a bit snug, so the material pinches a bit when I move - I'll wait to see how this fit feels over time. I want comfort and longevity out of a shoe, which is hard when your using them on granite and I am hopeful that Topo will deliver.

Wide toe box, feels very stable without the weight of a stability shoe super comfortable- absolutely LOVE them

Bought for the entire family

I've had surgery on my left foot and needed shoes with a wide toe box with cushioning under the forefoot. These are perfect, with enough room for my toes and perfect cushioning. I use them for walking and my feet are happy again. They run small, so size up. I wear an 8 1/2 and I bought the 9 1/2.

I bought the Vibe for walking my dogs and running errands. They are very comfortable and cool during the summer heat. The wide toe box feels amazing. And they're cute too! Even my teenager commented on them. I usually wear a size 8 in running shoes and bought the same size in the Vibe.

Favorite shoe ever! Let me know if Topo restocks the green color.

I purchased these to try as my previous brand has changed my shoe so many times and each time it gets less desirable. I briefly tried another brand and they were just OK. I put my feet in these and it was magical! Finally. I love the construction of the tongue and the toebox is wide but not too wide. If they were not out of stock in my size, I'd order another pair.

A friend of mine told me about some TOPO shoes she bought and how lightweight they were for summer. I checked them out on line and loved the look of these Recovery shoes as well as the roomy toe box they offered. After getting them, I replaced the provided insole with my orthotic and that gave me the support I needed. The mid foot holds my foot securely and my heel stays in place. I normally wear a narrow shoe and was fearful that these would be too loose. They fit perfectly with a sock. I love these shoes!!! Please consider making a tan color for everyday wear.

Oh man, where to begin? I had been dealing with running injuries on and off, and was in desperate need for good shoes. I ordered no less than 6 different shoes/models to try. I am someone who needs a little bit of stability, so my options were limited. Everything was hurting my feet. One day I came across someone recommending Topo online and, having heard little of them, did some research. I ordered the Ultraflys and WOW, no foot pain, no calf pain, SO comfy, yet responsive. I love that the toebox is wide, yet the midfoot and heel are secure, which is not what I experienced with Hoka/Altra. The soles are definitely higher quality than Altra IMO. Altras seem too flimsy. Overall, these Ultraflys are perfect for me and my narrow heels/wide forefoot, and all my running ailments. I like that the drop is 5mm- not too high, but also not zero. I just can'y say enough good things about these. I get excited each time I put them on to run. It cradles my foot in that sweet zipfoam. Please never change this shoe! I even went ahead and purchased the trail version- the Ultraventure Pro- and love that one too!

This is my new spring/summer hiking and trail running shoe. This is my second pair of Topo shoes because I loved their waterproof hiking boot so much I decided these would be the perfect fit as well. I was right! I wore these on a very steep hike this weekend- they did great on the way up and the way down. Plenty of room in the toe box while fitting snug on my narrow heel. The laces stayed perfectly tied even without a double knot. Such a great shoe even with my flatter arches and previous plantar issues! Almost no breaking in needed!

Getting back to running after several months away. Out of the box, I thought they were stiff and too short (I'm not sure how to describe sizing.. felt half size too small, however...). However, I've put ~40 miles on them (yes, I know, just getting started) and they feel really nice. I thought the stiffness would translate into tired feet, but not yet. Longest run = 7 miles x 3 days in a row.

Great shoe. I've been looking for a marathon distance shoe that is more durable than the NB 1080v10's. I've tried the Brooks Ghost, Saucony Triumph 18's, Altra Torin 4.5 plush & 5, Altra Rivera's, & Saucony Speeds to no avail. This shoe is the perfect width & forms like a glove around my feet. My only qualm was at 10mi my R big toe began to go numb so I hope it doesn't end up being too much of a problem in the future.

I use these for walking, hiking and running around town. I need extra support and a wide toe box. This is perfect!

I love the lower heel to toe drop of 5mm. It creates a more natural running without putting as much strain on the calves as 0 drop shoes. The thick cushion gives a nice gliding sensation to my runs.

I love the roomy toe box that's shaped like a real foot. The cushioning and support are perfect for this neutral runner who needs a little support once in awhile. This is my first pair of Topos but it won't be my last!

I didn't purchase these wonders for running, but instead I purchased them for HIIT classes at my gym. I spend two - three hours there a day (7 days a week) and was looking for a new shoe that could accommodate my toe spacers and not press against my bunion. Hello UltraFly3. My toes aren't cramped, my balance is centred and they (so far) offer enough support to allow me to pivot jump lunge and squat my way through HIIT classes. I'm looking forward to taking them out for a road run soon.

I have always bought topos for running but bought this pair specifically for more support walking because I'm pregnant and that's peak exercise for me now. These have worked great, I feel comfortable and supported and can get my walks in. I also have toes that take up more room and the toe area in these provides it.
