Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultraventure Pro

This is my 2nd pair, I use them for the gym and short runs on pavement. Love the wide toe box.

Got these for a bit of hiking to use instead of my fave ST-3s, but have now come to realize two things: The ST3 now hurt the balls of my feet and these are SO much more comfortable! I hope I can find a road-running shoe that feels similar to this one, love it!

I absolutely love my Phantom! I just ordered Phantom 2. These are definitely better than any other brand I've worn. The wide toe box and cushion is so comfortable!

The heel to toe slope

I have had all of the iterations of the Magnifly and this is my favorite version! I was really dissatisfied by the Magnifly 2 (cramped toe box and too much cushion in the heel/achilles). But the Magnifly 3 sports a perfectly roomy toe box and secure heel with a very similar sole to the Magnifly 2 but with a fit closer to the original Magnifly and I really couldn't ask for anything else. No break in period needed and a good companion for 10+ mile long runs. Might run a slight bit big but my local store didn't have a half size down so I just went with a 9.5 and it seems to have worked out thus far! Especially with lightly padded running socks.

I have 3 pair of phantom. 9 pair of Topos. Guess you could say I like them!

Like Wide toe box

I'm recovering from plantar fasciitis & using the Magnifly for short runs. I love them! I've been using zero drop shoes for years (Vibram 5 fingers, Topo ST-2, Merrell Road Glove) but after developing PF, I switched to "fluffy" shoes to ease the pain. Now that I'm mostly recovered, those squishy fluffy shoes seem to make my knees & hips hurt more, which seemed like a sign that it's time to get back into Topos. The Magnifly feels good! My feet feel firmly in contact with the ground but there's enough cushion to make increasing my distance enjoyable. I actually bought all 3 colors to make sure I have backup shoes as I increase my distance.

I have worn Topo shoes, and hiking boots for a long time. I recommend them to everyone!

Super comfortable. Love the roomy toe box and the 3mm drop. I started running in the city during the pandemic and these are the perfect shoes.

I use my MTN Racer Topo's running on trails and also hiking. I also have Topo road running shoes and the hiking boot.

I bought these to replace my Danskos that I wear for work. I am on my feet all day long. These are the best shoes!

I have been walking 4+ miles daily for a few months so I decided to step up my walking shoe game, especially since I aspire to do more walk-runs or straight runs in them. I made the best decision in trying the Topos. It is the first time I bought my size (women's 7) and did not need to go size up. The zip foam technology and snug fit with the laces make this shoe the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. My toes have never felt so good with the roomy toe box. I also love the Emerald/White color.

I really like the wide toe box that is the main reason for my purchase. I added my own custom insoles which squeak when I walk. That's not the manufacture fault but I'm working on what will help.

I love the feel! Great support and comfort.

I love this shoe. I have never hiked this comfortably in low-profile before. It has that one-of-a-kind Topo-fit, narrow heel, fitted mid-foot and roomy toe box. I ordered size 9, my regular Topo size in running shoes, and the fit was true. My foot was secure AND very comfortable all day long. My only ask is for is sturdier (thicker) shoelaces, but that doesn't take anything away from how wonderful these shoes feel. I tried the Travelventure first, but found the fit to be very different, wider in the heel and tight in the forefoot and toebox. The tops of my toes actually rubbed in the shoe when walking on a flat train, a first for me in a Topo. I highly recommend you give this babies a try.

I took these shoes trail running and hiking and the traction was awesome! The shoes gripped very well on ice, slippery leaves, and rocky trails. The rock plate protected my foot well from the terrain below. I run in a low drop road shoe so I appreciate the low drop design of the Pro, which allows me to maintain continuity in my trail and road shoes. It would be terrific to see the next version of these shoes with a GORE-TEX upper for those cold and snowy New England winter days!

She wears them at the hospital and for general daily use. Says they are really comfortable and other nurses are asking about them.

Using for running in snow and wet weather. Comfy right out of the box. Supportive, great protection from wet puddles and ice. Love the fit, sturdy but not too stiff or "clunky" , just right. Love the wode toe box but snug heel. Perfect off weather or hiker.

Hiked 6 miles in the new Ultraventure Pros today and I love them! While I selected "true to size", noting that the fit is a bit larger than the other styles, yet not that much larger I personally would size up. As soon as I put the shoe on I was pleased with the fit - not quite the typical boxy foot bed, yet my forefoot had plenty of room while not slipping out of the shoe. So comfortable on the trails - this will be my new go to for my trail hiking.

The laces are terrible (won't stay tied even with double knots). I switched laces. They wet through very quickly. I wish this model came in Gore-Tex. I hike up and down short but steep rocky trails near my house every day. So far, the shoes feel cushioned and comfortable and have decent footing. The cut is low around the ankle; can't wear my orthotics in them as they make my foot too high in the shoe so that they are not supportive of the ankle. (Yes, I removed the original footbed.) Without orthotics they are pretty good but I miss my orthotics with a metatarsal pad.

I'm a loyal Topo customer, they are the only shoes I wear for running, hiking or working out. I use MTN racers for hiking, but didn't like the MTN2 colors. The Ultra Venture Pro green color is perfect. I wear 9.5 in all my Topos and ordered the same, but the UV Pro was too big, so I will have to return/exchange. Otherwise, the shoe is great looking, lightweight and the grip looks as amazing as my MTNs.
