Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultraventure 4

Many of the top brands of running and trail shoes I have worn over the years seem to be having an issue with fit and quality. I put in a decent amount of mileage weekly and I was starting to have pain. I had to make a change so I started to explore other brand. Topo wins!!! I found my Goldilocks shoe! I ordered three different Topo shoes to try on and it was honestly hard to send any of them back. They were all great. I kept these because they are trail runners and sport Vibram soles/lugs. Vibram is the only grippy/anti-slip material I trust. I live in the PNW and am no stranger to rain or damp, slick boulders. I speed walk 6-8+ miles daily and do a mix of road/trail/gravel/stairs/etc. I need shoes that I can trust to perform. These have been perfect so far. No slips. Responsive. Comfortable right out of the box. No rubbing or blisters. Finally a toe box that lets my bones actually rest where they need to! With no heel slippage! GREAT arch support. Lightweight. Soooo comfortable. I also love the color options so far… outdoorsy or simple. None of that neon Miami club stuff. The only thing I would add is a little reflective material and a shoe lace elastic band or cargo net. I usually just tuck my laces which is fine but that little extra attention to detail would be helpful. I did size up as I usually do. My feet measure at size 5 but I go up to a 6.5 and the fit was perfection. Definitely a must try!

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!

Super comfortable but the wide toe box was too clunky.

These Shoes! If you have a wide foot, you may have noticed many brands shrinking the width of their shoes. Not so with these. They have a wide toe box and a narrower heel, suited to a woman's foot. Zappos recommended I go up half a size from my usual 9, and the 9 1/2 is a great length for me. They are, in fact, almost too wide, something that delights my toes. The arch support is built into the shoe, and provides a noticeable boost to my arches. The slightly curved orthotic that comes with the shoes is removable so you can play around with other orthotics if you feel you need more. I love the color (a dusty denim blue) and more importantly I love the fit. If you've been let down by the other brands and their shrinking shoes, try these.

I am new to Topo Athletics and since I discovered them a few weeks ago, I know own 3 different pairs. These Utraventure will be used more a low / lightweight hiker and I am so happy with the way they have perfumed in woods on rocky beaches and roads. The regular width is surprisingly wide. I have very wide feet and felt the wides were too roomy in the front and kept the regulars.

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

These are terrific. I have challenging bunion feet and need a wide toe box. These are wide and supportive. I prefer them to my altras.

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

Wide toe box

I was so hoping these shoes would work since I need a wider toe box. But the rock guard on these ended up being too "thin" which caused my toes to catch. So I'm returning them.

This was my fourth pair of ultraventure (2 pairs of ultraventure 2 and one other pair of ultraventure 4). These felt narrow in the mid foot, so I’m returning them. Might be the shoe or maybe my feet have gotten wider…

Love this shoe for walking and everyday wear. Wish it came in more fashionable colors like taupe with light color sole and black with light color sole to blend with outfits.
