Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Terraventure 4 WP

Amazing shoes! Love them for mucky PNW trails. Could climb walls with the grip on these baddies! #sweepstakes

I am 65 plus years and I bought these Topos for safer walking on the marble tile sidewalks which are all over Portugal. A young man at JL Waters in Bloomington, IN recommended them. The shoes were perfect! No slipping despite quite a bit of wet weather. (They were also great for walking the vineyards in the rain-feet stayed dry).

I have 3 pairs of Topos - the Terraventure WP, for cold/wet weather, and 2 MTN Racers (1 in men's - loved the mango color, available in my equivalent size!). I ordered up a half size on the Terraventure WP, and all 3 pairs fit perfectly. My feet feel great when walking - nicely cushioned, well supported . My husband loves his MTN Racers, too, and I'll be ordering the Terraventure WP for him when back in stock. I'm looking forward to increasing weekly miles as my feet feel better!

I have used them for hiking and walking cobbled streets in London and Italy. Rick plates is great. Adequate cushioning and arch support with great no skid grip. My only thought is maybe a slightly stiffer sole to decrease the forefoot bend which is hard on arthritic joints...

Love these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. Tested them in watery conditions right away and they kept my feet totally dry. Just the right amount of support and great treads for the trail. Very happy with the purchase.

I love these shoes! I was wearing Altras for years as I've had mult foot surgeries and need the roomy toe box, but I've noticed that quality and fit were not what they were. One of my friends suggested Topos, and WOW! So well made, roomy enough for my cranky metatarsals, but they don't slip and slide aroundhooray! They have great support and I can work a 12hr shift in them and not be crying at day's end. I now have mult pairs. I feel like I've won a sweepstakes. Thank you!

I have a hard foot to fit. Size 11 women's, with a wide toe spread. I have been an avid hiker for 10 years and I've been looking for a LIGHTweight hiking shoe, waterproof, women's (verses being forced to wear men's shoes), wide toe box, good grip, non-high top. All size 11 women's are too small for me for hiking and running (fine for walking) and I've lost countless toenails. No shoe companies make 11.5 women's, they immediately jump to a 12 once they go to 11. You also don't make an 11.5 (it would be great if you would!), but the 11 in this shoe seems to be long enough! I have worn men's shoes for 10 years, and they are kind of ugly for women and they don't fit me quite right. I have ordered eight different pairs of hiking shoes, from 7 different companies in the last 6 weeks in hopes that I could finally find the glass slipper I've been looking for for a decade. I read about Topo's from one of your customers on positive review they left for you, but on a competitor's website. I just got them and LUCKY NUMBER 9! I love them! I haven't tried them on a hike yet, but walking around my house, they are the first pair of shoes I've had since I've taken up hiking that seem to fit. THANK YOU! I can't wait to hit the trail in them. PS I think an 11.5 could be even better for me, so please consider making these for us large footed women!

I wear them to work, and for walking

So far these are my favorite trail shoes. Nice toe box and heel, of course. It hasn't been wet enough to see how waterproof they are but they are a little less breatheable. My big complaint is that getting them on is stabby. Right where the tongue folds into the sides is very, very stiff and digs into the top of my foot getting them on. Once laced up that stabby point goes away and I think it'll get better as I put more miles on.

Use for walking a light hiking. They have excellent traction and are very comfortable. There is a stiff portion on the top of the shoe that might cause a problem for people with a super high arch. I notice it when putting the shoes on, but not at all during walking and hiking. The tongue covers it.

These waterproof Terraventure 4s are definitely tighter in the toe box than the non-waterproof Terraventure 4, Traverse, or Phantom 3, all of which I wear in a 9, which is 1/2 size larger than what my foot measures for. So these fit me like a normal 8.5 in a normal toe box, but are long enough that I won't suffer black toe nails like I do in an 8.5. I'm keeping them so I have a warmer option for this wet and cold winter/spring season, but I'll be going to stores in person next year to try on any new waterproofs. Also, as other reviews mention, they are majorly less flexible in general.

First, I want to say that my shoes were lost in the mail and customer service was spectacular. They sent a new pair of shoes and I got them a week later. I also own one other pair of Topo shoes, which I've had for a year. And these I've had for a few weeks. Overall, I really really like these. The only problem is heel slippage. I was worried they were going to be unwearable the first time I tried them on, but after wearing them a few times the heel slippage is much less. I agree with the other review that the fit of the heel is noticeably wider than my other topo shoes of the same size.

Trail running and hiking Great shoe however a little too stiff for my foot issue. Bunion ? Wish they named it something different ! But I loved the fit

A lot of folks are fans of topos and I can understand why. Fit is excellent, comfortable, no blisters. My concern lies with the sole and lack of grip on scree, loose rocks, dry dirt etc. especially on technical trails, when backpacking and day hiking. I've slipped/fell compared to other shoes on looser ground - the grip simply isn't there in my opinion and I don't feel confident navigating through myriad of surfaces. Minor issue was tip of the sole started to loosen but after gluing, it's holding fine. Lastly, after 1 season, the soles feel quite worn. I don't think they are durable as a 2 season shoe if clocking than 40 miles on steep uphill and downhill terrain with mixed surfaces. That being said, I still like the shoes and will use them for gentle trail running. Highly recommend for that purpose.

Love all of the Topos I've ever owned! Decided to try the waterproof Terradventure 4 but these seems to run 1/2 smaller then any of my other Topos I've purchased. Exchanging for a bigger size.

I love TOPOS this is my 3rd pair. I must admit this style is the first pair I've had to break in. I love the grip forms the lugs and the wider toe box . Anytime I'm asked for shoe recommendations it's always TOPOS!!

The shoes feel a little too wide for my foot. My foot feels like it slides in shoe. Arches hurt. Not for my foot.
