Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Trailventure 2 WP

The mid foot and heal are great. the build quality is why im switching from Altra. BUT ON GOD, IF THE TOE BOX WAS BIGGER LIKE VIVO ID BUY 3 PAIRS RIGHT NOW!!! Please Topo team review reader, just tell me all future topos will have a wider toe boxs so I can just stick with this 1 brand for life. thank you PS are there any OSHA compliant steel/ composit toe boots coming? Construction is an untaped market in the zero drop foot shaped shoe world.

Love the feel of the shoe and the roomy toe box. My only complaints are there is only one color in the wide version and that the cushioning inside the heel seems to wear quickly. I am on my third pair of phantom 3s and both pairs wore a hole in the cushioning in the right heel. I haven't had this issue with either my Atmos or my Ultraventure 3s.

I bought a pair for backpacking and loved them do much I bought a pair for work. I'm a carpenter and work on hard floors all day. I wish they had a little softer insoles because there's not quite enough cushion for me. Great if you're walking but not so great for standing in place working

These shoes are great just feel a little less stable than the Phantom 2. Maybe more narrow? That said I'm lining up my December -January buy when they tick over 500 miles

I switched to Topo's about a year ago. I have a wide foot so the roomy toe box is great. Although the toe box is roomy, the heel still locks down well. I use the Phantom 3 for easy miles. It has a good cushion but I still have some toad feel. I'm on my second pair. The first went almost 400 miles. It would be a 5 star review except the color way on wide is very bland. #sweepstakes

So far happy with the several pairs I've purchased

Tried these for 3 weeks, did hill sprints, walking and running 3-5 miles once a week. Pros: toe box is perfect size, fits feet well Cons; too much cushion in the sole, but that is more preference

Very comfortable wide toe box running shoes. Have had these for a few weeks and my only issue is cosmetic wear, though I don't mind that if they hold up overall for the longer term. These are comfortably standard running shoes with a more natural foot form that seem to work well for me. #sweepstakes.

Still evaluating the support and comfort in the arches of my feel. At this time a little pressure one arch of right foot, going to give a little more wear time to see if these shoes are right for me.

I love the size of the toe box of these shoes, it is nice not to have my little toes hurt after a 10 mile run. I did have to check out a few sizes to get the right fit. I usually wear a women's 11 in running shoes but ended up purchasing a men's 10. Super happy with them. #sweepstakes

Hiking and walking in winter weather with our dog. The some of one feels a little different from the other.

These are great, the toebox is so roomy and the heel is perfectly snug. The only thing is the slight inconsistency between different models. I have the ultraventure in size 9.5 and assumed it'd be the same in these boots but it's actually too big. I'll be using these as my winter boots with double socks, but cannot use them as regular boots in cool weather. I liked these enough that I'll be buying them in size 9, though! They're actually waterproof. I stepped in a deep puddle that went up to just under the top of the boots and my feet were dry and warm (it was in the low 20s at the time!).

The anatomical foot shape is the BEST of all brands I've worn. Zip foam is a little firm and doesn't have a ton of bounce. The shoe also doesn't transition particularly well, it feels "flat". But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last shape - it is actually shaped like the human foot!

I love the fit of these hiking boots. I have one concern: after six months the soles came unglued. The store I purchased them at were unwilling to warranty them or even help with a discount toward a new pair. I have bought another pair and hope the quality and craftsmanship is up to par.

The TrailVenture2 WP could be more comfortable like the phantoms, the phantoms are what got me into topos and why I got these. The size feels larger than the phantoms and the phantoms are definitely more comfortable than TrailVenture2 WP. You should try to make the TrailVenture2 WP feel like the phantoms or a WP Phantom.

First: I love Topos and they are the only running shoe I wear now. I run roads and trail and I was excited about this hiking boot for day hiking in rough terrain. While it has great potential - it needs another design round. This is an important addition to the line and I hope Topos takes feedback seriously on the upper fabric, liner and need for widths. The biggest issue as other reviewers noted is that the waterproof liner develops wrinkles and ends up taking space in the toe box. It's incredibly irritating - as if your socks are twisted. This created the second issue which is the height of the toe box. Especially for hiking - you need that extra space and while the design promisesit fails to deliver. The cushion is decent and the rock plate helps - but could be longer and stiffer to allow this boot to truly function as an aggressive hiking or trail running shoe. A good trail runner will have a stiffer sole . With that, it's overpriced and underperforms but has great potential. A good trail runner with gaiters would be a better solution and value. I agree with other reviewers that the uppers crack and wear faster than they should. I e used them a total of less than 100 miles and they already show signs of cracks. Basically - this is a running shoe with ankle support not a trail hiker and to compensate for the liner and toe box height issue if you can tolerate them - I recommend ordering a half size larger than you'd normally purchase in a running shoe. I wear a 9W in the Atmos (perfection), purchased a 9.5 in this boot, and should have gotten a size 10. Please also add wide widths to this line!

I use them for work have had two pair would give them 5 stars if it weren't for the laces.

Use solely for hiking mountainous trails in the sierras and rockies. Great shoe and A+ support and very waterproof. I find the Vibram Megagrip to be grippy on clean rock surfaces (even wet), BUT...it isn't great on slopes with gravel. I've never had more trouble slipping and falling on steep descents than with this shoe...might have something to do with the lugs and/or the heel lug pattern. Unfortunately this will force me to consider another shoe rather than repurchasing a pair of these.

Bought a pair of waterproof specifically to hike the dientes de navarino circuit and the Patagonia O circuit. Broke the shoes in on the three El Chaten hikes, the when I hike the Navarino, the seam above the big toes split/gave ou in the rocks,snow,sllet and wind. This was disappointing because of leakage walking thru mud to finish the trek. The seem on boots didn't split any more on the o circuit. In general I would recommend a different selection if you are going to be humping over rocks in challenging, cold and fully water logged conditions. The breathable version of the boot was my favorite for hike in the northwest with only occasion rain, but has been discontinued. Please offer a breathable boot!

I have put about 200 miles on these boots in two months and will retire them early due to injuries they caused (dislocated toe). Simply put, they are very comfortable but - for the reasons I get into below - not suitable hiking boots. Compared to brands like La Sportiva, Scarpa, Solomon, and Keen they simply don't offer enough protection and support to justify wearing them as hiking boots. Pro: - Extremely roomy toe box, almost feels like wearing sandals - Sole is adequately grippy on a variety of surfaces - Very lightweight - Waterproofing is functional Con: - Ankle support is very poor. Truthfully, these are hardly better than low-top shoes for ankle support. - Toe protection. I dislocated my toe wearing these shoes. I didn't even know that was possible. I fell scrambling and hit my toe against a rock and it got dislocated inside the shoe. I am convinced this is due to the toe box design, I've had tens of similar falls in other boots with zero issues. - Inconsistent step feeling, I can't tell where my foot is on the ground through these shoes. This makes it hard to be confident in your foot placement. - The waterproofing works but these boots reek like no others I've ever had. I have to keep them outside because they stink so much after hiking. I wanted to give these a try since they're super light and the fit out of the box is amazing. However, I now understand why other companies don't go for the same design principles. These don't cut it as hiking boots. Going into the backcountry I don't have confidence I'll make it out OK, the ankle support is laughable and the toe box design invites injury.

These were my go-to boots for winter day hikes . I did not, however, do any multi-day hikes with heavy pack. They're super comfortable and--despite how flexible and lightweight they are--good for ankle stability on rough & muddy terrain. The one downside I experienced is that the waterproof membrane on the right shoe was compromised after about 50 trail miles. The left followed suite about 40 or 50 miles later. For the price, I would have wished for longer use in wet conditions.

The fit is typical Topo. I have many pairs of road and trail running shoes and (for the most part) they all fit the same - and these hikers are no different, which is a huge plus especially when ordering by mail as it's comforting to know that the sizing will be accurate. The durability is not good. I have worn these approximately twice a week for the last two months on both dry and muddy trails, but nothing extreme. The sole is separating from the midsole on one boot and the upper is separating from the midsole on the other. Like others commenting here, my expectation for a hiking boot is that it will last a couple of years, certainly more than a few months. Due to my experience, I look at these more as high-top running shoes vs hiking boots. They are too expensive to replace every few months. It's a shame because the comfort and fit is really good for me.

Love this boot but didn't last a year. I am a hiker and not a trail runner. Is my expectation out of wack here? The boots lost their stiffness to the point where once they were wonderful for my feet and now they hurt my feet. I don't use them anymore, not even for gardeniing. If this boot would last like a typical hiking boot should (2 to 3 years) then I would be sold. Given what I just said I still am thinking about buying another pair (that's how good they initially felt on my feet) and spend the money every year. It does seem wasteful though. These boots have been sold out on Topo's website for months.

I have the previous model for about two years. I wear them for general activities as well as my bicycling shoes. I had to replace the insole immediately with a Currex biking insole because the one that it came with was unwearable. The glue on trim is now beginning to peal off so that's a bummer. The vibrum sole is holding up like they always do. If the insole was better it's a 5.

Super comfortable and have been happy with them until now. Walking through wet grass and one foot is dry the other is soaked and cold.
