In The Press
The Topo Athletic Ultraventure 3 is easily one of the top high-stack trail shoes of 2022.
"This is a shoe that will take you through any distance, from massive miles to daily trail wear, and it should last. It served me very well as a race day shoe and will stay in my rotation for daily miles. Because of its high stack, durability, and low weight, this would also be an excellent option for thru-hikers tackling long-distance trails like the AT or PCT."

Ideal wide high/max cushion shoe for long runs and ultras
I average 30-60 miles per week and have completed 10+ trail 50K-100 mile races. I have 70 miles in my pair of Ultraventure 3s, mainly on dry packed and very rocky trails and including 20 mile long runs. Ordered in my usual Topo size and fit was spot on. Upper is breathable and not too stretchy, whic...

Great shoe, but quality? UPSETTING
I love the Ultraventures thus far. Have put ~124 miles on them including my first 50 mile ultra. They treated me well during the race and had no foot issues at all. However my long middle toe did hit the end and bruise. On another note, I just noticed that the right sole is starting to detach from...

ROBERT'S RUNNING and TOPO are AMAZING
Wear my Ultraventure 3s for my job as a ballpark usher walking on concrete for hours plus I was starting to get plantar fascaitis pain in one foot. Roberts Running in Charleston WV and TOPO have saved my feet!
Best Shoe Ever
Love these shoes. They are out of my size by still hoping to buy a second pair.
The foot box has plenty of room and feels good on my feet.

I got them for hiking but I am now wearing them all the time. Like to see wide models in your other shoes.
In love with the wide forefoot and fitted heel.

Comments about Ultraventure 3
I have 2 pairs of the women's version of these, both the hiker and runner and my husband wanted to try them since I've been raving about mine. We both needed the wide versions and when his showed up he slid right into them and loved the fit. They're a dream from width, instep, heel doesn't slip to the delicious bouncy sole. He wears construction boots all week and loves having these for his time off. Buy them, you won't regret it!
Return to Perfection
My first experience with Topo shoes was with the original Ultraventure. I owned numerous pairs that I used for trail running and racing. It was by far the best trail shoe I'd ever owned. Then came the UV2, which for me was a failure for me and I moved away from Topo shoes. I took a chance when the UV3 came out. Really glad I did. When I slid my foot in them and laced them up, it was like meeting an old friend after not seeing them for years. This is a great shoe. Good job Topo!
Roomy toe box, secure midfoot and cushioning underfoot!
The women's Topo Ultraventure 3 is my first pair of Topo shoes and they are excellent. They are more comfortable than hiking boots for walking the Camino. As an active, outdoorsy person with bunions since age 18, I especially appreciate the wider toe box and the fact that you had a wide size available in my size. Unfortunately a wide size has not been available for my husband's size 12 foot this year. Please make a wide in size 12 so he will be able to walk the Camino with me this year!
Ultraventure 3 Wide
I bought this shoe in a wide while hoping there would be no heel slip and there isn't. The midfoot lockdown is ideal. The shape of the shoe in wide is nearly identical to another well known original foot shape shoe which fits me perfectly so if you're wondering about the width I hope this helps.
Topo blends what I like about Hoka and Altra.

Comments about Ultraventure 3
I do Lots of hiking in the Lake Tahoe area. I am trying to figure out which shoes to use later this year on the John Muir Trail, and think I am gravitating towards Topo. I used my Hoka for my Mt Whitney hike last August and could have used more toe room. My Altras could use a little more cushioning. I am thinking the Topos might be a good blend of toe space and cushioning. I have to say the online purchasing experience from Topo was excellent.
