Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultraventure 4

I loved the Ultraventure 3 and anxiously awaited version 4. Slight disappointment but not a bad shoe. The purple is subtle and nice looking. This version 4 feels a bit more structured than the v3, and beefier. When I tried them on, I thought they were awesome. I wear them, but I prefer the 3. The 3 had a better feel of the ground, not being beefy. The v4 reminds me of wearing the men’s v3. V4 is almost approaching hoka styling and fit, which doesn’t work for me. V4 also inflames that little bone on the side of the foot, on both feet, darned it. So, I hope the next iteration is more like the v3. The flexibility of that version, along with decent cushioning that still allowed for excellent ground feel was the cat’s meow. I might order a pair of men’s v4, just to try them out. I wear a women’s 8M street shoe, and an 8.5 in all topos. (a 7 in men’s)

I wanted to love these, but they just did not feel right on my feet. I kind of felt like there wasn't a normal amount of foot support?

I really liked my pair of Ultraventure 3 shoes, but the Ultraventure 4s broke down a lot faster than the 3s. The fabric on the top of the shoe where the toe bends started tearing after about 7 months, and I only wore them 2, maybe 3 times a week. I mostly used them for walking as well, so it's not like they were accumulating a ton of mileage. My Ultraventure 3s are nearing the end of their lifespan after about a year and I wore them much more than the 4s. The tread is pretty worn down, but the fabric is still in pretty good condition. They were pretty comfortable, but almost felt like a different model than the Ultraventure 3s. Not sure why they change so much between versions.

I loved this shoe at first (this was my first Topi ever), the first time I accidentally got them wet, then they were too big, they really stretched out. The mesh like uppers started wearing a hole in a spot where they were bending just a little. I unfortunately had to return them.

I have a couple of other styles of Topos, and the fit seemed similar to my Atmos. Nice wide toe box (to accommodate bunions), narrower heel and cushy sole with good arch support. The issue is the Vibram sole, which seems really sticky and squeaked all the time on the hardwood floors. The stickiness may have gone away with some wear and dirt, but I didn't want to take a chance.

I like the shoe design and the color but even though I wear a 7.5 in other Topo shoes, the toe box was both wider and longer.

So I love the wide toe box. I wear orthotics and this is my first lower heel drop shoe. I am getting extreme pain in the all of foot under my 2nd toe next to my pinky toe. I just do t think they have enough padding for people with feet issues

My favorite shoe. Wish they made a sandal!

I was so happy to finally find some wide toe box shoes that are comfortable. These had cushion to the sole most importantly, oftentimes with zero drop shoes there’s minimal to no cushion. The color-way is my jam, and they were super comfy. My biggest issue is price… I ended up needing surgery right after I got these and with no paid time off I had to return.

Great fit, my usual size 9.5 fits perfectly. First time on I walked 5 miles and absolutely no problems. Love the support and appreciate both the fitted heel and arch support. I’d never heard of these but decided to take a chance because I love the color and they are a nice change from my On sneakers.

Fit is perfect. Usually wear narrow width, but these are good, because they're narrow in the heel with wider toe box. Very comfortable and I love the purple color. Normally wear size 7.5 and 7.5 was great fit in this show.

Love these. Great fit, toe box nice and wide, and fun color combination!

Grest shoe if you need a wide toebox.

Great for big toe box and arch support!

Good athletic shoe, I put in my orthotics , they fit well. Good support and toe spacing.

Great fit and super cushioning. Perfect for my wide feet and issues with pain in the ball of my feet.

This is a great shoe if you have a narrow heel and wide forefoot. Was pleasantly surprised by the roomy toe box, made walking so much easier and toes did not tingle from being too close together or a raised sole under toe area. Also helped with lower back discomfort. Good grippy sole. Laces are a little short, the lace holes at the top are awkward.

Comfortable right out of the box. Worn all day on a hike and my bunion loves them. Thank you Topo for making these shoes!

I bought these to replace my Altra Olympus 5 -- the Altra Olympus 6 gave me blisters on the heel with the new design. These are a perfect replacement and I love them. I walk mostly on roads for around 20 miles per week.

This shoe fits me better than any other I've tried. I have a very narrow heel, low-volume feet (skinny), but I want plenty of room for my little toes. I also have high arches and I wear my orthotics in these shoes. This is my third pair. I love the dark purple color - very understated. I really do not like the common practice today of making part of the sole white from the side. White just draws the eye.

The toe box is quite wide, perfect for my needs. The material is well ventilated, superior to other shoes. The arc support is somewhat less than expected, and I seem to pronate a bit more.

Love this shoe, great fit, and perfect color. Had to return due to developing a Morton's Neuroma on my left foot. Hesitating to buy a new shoe at this time. Hoping the neuroma will go away soon.

These seemed to have a bit more forefoot room than Ultraventure 3, but not enough difference to change sizes.

Comfortable from the get go! great support and cushion

Shoes were too big
