Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultraventure 2

Even though I liked the color, the shoe felt a bit tight in the width. I am going to try another pair to see if there is any difference. Give it a try, Zappos truly is the best!

I was going to return these, but they worked well with new orthotics. More supportive than my older Topos and with a Vibram sole for better traction.

These are too "shallow" to use a custom orthodic.....they are quite comfortable with the insole that they come with

I loved these when I first put them on. I have narrow feet, and they fit pretty well in my true size. Walking around the house, these rubbed my little toes as the shoe folded.

Compared to the Topo Mtn 2 racer these were too narrow in the toe box so I returned. I was bummed because out of all their trail shoes I’ve tried these had the cushion I prefer.

I’m new to this brand and wow my toe box has never had so much room. If you have any issues with this I recommend this brand. I believe this shoe has a higher drop than their other styles. It was between this pair and Brooks Cascadia (their toe box is wider than most athletic sneakers to me). I went with Brooks because of style and drop even though I think the Topo wins out on toe box width just slightly. I will try again in future. I recommended to my mom as she has same issues as me. Highly recommend it just might take time to get accustomed to the drop and look of them.

These feel and look great. A little more give in the toe area than I wanted, but I’m going to give them a go for some moderate hiking. Please note these shoes run super small. Order at least 1/2 size up from whatever size you usually get for athletic shoes.

Love the snub nosed look of these shoes. The purple color is actually quite nice and more muted than I would have thought. With my prescription orthotics in, they are very supportive and fit my wide toes and narrow heels perfectly. The soles don’t have a lot of bend to them, which is what I wanted. Unfortunately, the other reviews were correct and these really do run small. They are shorter than most running shoes. My big toe is almost right up against the end of the shoe in my normal athletic shoe size of 9-1/2, and I don’t have long feet! I have ordered a size 10 to see how that works, but in the berry color since purple is sold out in that size.

I usually wear a 9 in running /athletic shoes. I originally ordered these in a 9 and they were too small. The 9.5 fits close to my usual size 9. Unfortunately, these were a little too narrow in the toe box for me. I have been wearing the Topo TERRAVENTURE 3 and prefer the fit of that style.

These have been the only shoe I can wear for years, other than birk sandals. I can put my orthotics in and they are tolerable. I did not like the lugs on the sole and had those removed. I love the width of the toe box and the laces. It would be perfect if the heel counter were more extended. I actually prefer more padding on the sole of a shoe but the Phantom did not suit my needs as my orthotics were not comfortable in them. I'm going to order another pair but in half size smaller this time, which is my true shoe size. I think since this shoe has such a nice, roomy toebox, you may not have to size up as you usually do with other athletic brands.

hurt mid foot

I so wanted these to work out! Overall its a beautiful shoe. The idea that the toe box was expanded was hopeful for my arthritic big toe metatarsal. However, the lowest area of the laced area rides exactly over that foot area and is extremely tight without any possibility of re-adjustment. It was instant excruciating pain as soon as I tried these on. Unfortunately these are getting returned.

This shoe felt really comfortable right out of the box, but after walking around in it inside my house for a couple hours my feet began to ache. Apparently the way it is structured doesn't work for my foot. I loved how light weight it was and thought it might work for hiking on easy paths long distances, but it just won't work for me.
