Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultraventure 4

Wide toe box

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.

If I could get the right size I think this shoe would be so comfortable

Finally!! Shoes wide enough for my toes! I like everything about these shoes except the tiny tight lace guides that make it unreasonably hard to get the shoes off.

These shoes had really roomy toe box, but also a roomy heel. If you have wide feet, give these a try. My orthotics would not work in them as the heel cup was too shallow.

Kind of has a funny shape and it felt awkward trying to walk in them. Does have plenty of room for toes to splay.

I loved much about this shoe, but the arch just didn’t work for me. I wish Topo would sell a shoe without the arch. I embraced the barefoot running shoe style back in 2008 after reading Born to Run and have never looked back - the ability for the arch to flatten with impact and bounce back, taking the main body impact as designed to do, has saved my hips, knees, and feet. Ditto for hiking. Now when I hike with a shoe with a built-in arch hitting my foot arch with every step, I hate it - I feel bruised, despite having a fairly high arch. Besides the arch, this shoe was perfect: wide toe box, snug heel cup, decent colors, and a gently curved sole that slightly propels you forward. I wish they had worked better for me, but if you like a supportive arch in your shoe, these would work great for you.

I have a Topo shoe and it's great, so I ordered another style in the exact same size and width. This style is unstable.
