A Great Improvement to the Runventure 3's.
I had bought a pair of Runventure 3's a while back but didn't love them, which was unfortunate because Topo's are the only shoes I can wear. The 3's were comfortable enough- but the upper seemed to "pop" every time I took a step, which became both uncomfortable and annoying. When looking at trail sh...

I got blisters
I love the grip and lightweight. I really really wanted these shoes to work for me, but the toe box is just too narrow and I would get blisters on my 2nd toe. I also have worn them for 3 mo now regularly hoping that they would get less stiff, but that hasn't happened. I have to go back to the other ...

I had bought a pair of Runventure 3's a while back but didn't love them, which was unfortunate because Topo's are the only shoes I can wear. The 3's were comfortable enough- but the upper seemed to "pop" every time I took a step, which became both uncomfortable and annoying. When looking at trail shoes again, I saw a review mention that the upper on the 4's had been fixed so I took a chance on them. So glad I did! They're comfortable and kept my feet dry during my first few muddy runs in them.
Great fit for winter runs

Comments about Runventure 4
These Topos have been the best option for my winter jogging in Wisconsin. Wide toebox, thick enough soles and insulation from the elements in winter (combined with thick socks), 0-drop - they beat a couple of other brands I tried
Love at first wear
Love these ~best trail shoes I've ever had! Look 👀 great too! No break in needed. After wearing Altra for years and so many changes in design I decided to try these, my new brand now. Feel so comfortable.
Love the light weight, light cushioning and light support

Comments about Runventure 4
I'm not a runner but I'm an Ambassador for Slow Jogging International. My miles are rapid step rate and short step length. I love the light weight of this shoe! The zero drop is very important to me and so is the feel of the ground. The Runventure has more cushion and structure than my trusty ST-2s, which are still going strong. I like each shoe for different reasons and different terrain. I look forward to wearing the Runventure on the miles of woodsy trails near my home. Thank you!
Awesome Altra alternative, comfy straight outta the box

Comments about Runventure 4
I had worn Altras and was looking for an alternative zero drop shoe, as I couldn't find the right Altra for me for the trails. Decided to give Topo a whirl, and these babies were awesome straight outta the box. No break in time. They feel very substantial and solid. Ended up doing a trail half in light snow over the weekend as a tester, and I will definitely be keeping these and buying again. I'm a convert!
Plush, comfortable shoe for running
I love these shoes! They are so easy to get off and on. It seems like zero-drop shoes are being made with attached tongues, which I find hard to get my foot into the shoe with. I was happy to find zero-drop without an attached tongue! These shoes feel like plush clouds! So comfortable from day 1! The sole has a nice balance of give and stiffness that I appreciate.
Roomy and Travel Friendly

I use these for workout and walking. They have the roomy toe box and are light enough for travel. I had a difficult time finding shoes with a toe box large enough to accommodate my foot. These are the best shoes I have had in years.
Super comfortable, lots of room in tow box

Great grip for trail running. Vibrant sole is very supportive.
Head & Toes above Altras
Purchased the Runventure 4 at the end of a trail run after the Altra Lone Peak 6 failed me. The fit is much more secure through the heel and midfoot. The toe box is roomy without being too wide (like all Topos). At 20mm, I thought I would miss the cushion of the Ultraventures but I don't. These are the most comfortable shoes I own! I can wear them all day and then right out on the trail. Well done, Topo. It's great to see some 0 drop shoes added to the line up.
Great fit!
