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."

Thank you for finally making these in a wide width!
I've been waiting for years for Topo to make a wide shoe and these did not disappoint! The fit is perfect and they were instantly comfortable. I use them for light hiking when I don't need the ankle support of a boot and the fit and traction are both great. I have wide feet and bunions, which leaves me with very limited options outside of New Balance so this is a shoe miracle for me. I'm planning to get a road running model for everyday wear as well. Please keep making these and expand wide widths to other models! For reference: I wear a 7.5 EE in most shoes and 7.5 fit me perfectly in these. I love the truly wide toe box but medium width mid-foot and heel, because some EE shoes are too wide in the heel for me. These are perfect.
Great shoe for people with bunions or Morton's Neuroma

Comments about Ultraventure 3
The roomy toebox is fantastic for all of the foot problems I have (bunions and Morton Neuroma) with my orthotics in them, I can walk longer distances with no pain. I also like how the heel and rest of the shoe fits perfectly….no gaps. They are much better than "wide" shoes from other companies as far as fit goes. #sweepstakes

"#sweepstakes" I LOVE these shoes, I also have a pair of hiking boots. Both are super comfortable. Neither pair had to be broken in on the trail. They fit perfectly, give my toes dancing room, and come in great colors!
This can be an everyday shoe!

These are so comfy and light, you can wear everyday. They make trail running easy and I make quick runs to the gym and around town and these are just as great as my road shoes. I have one foot thats a 6 and the other is 6.5 but got the 7 and they're just right.

It took a couple of weeks to get used to the drop heel, but now that I've adjusted to them, the added stretch in my calves has actually helped to heal my sciatica. I have very bony feet and have a very hard time finding shoes that don't hurt. Thank you, Topo, for making my feet so happy!

Comments about Ultraventure 3
The Ultraventure 3 is my new favorite go-to shoe. A lot of my runs are mixed road and trail and I've had trouble finding shoes that perform well at both. The Ultraventure 3 is working well for both so far. I was concerned they might not grip well on the trail, but did well on a sloppy muddy day. For reference, I was a 9 in the Ultraventure 1 and 2, but am an 8.5 in the Specter and most other shoes. The 8.5 fits perfectly in the Ultraventure 3. #sweepstakes

Absolutely loving these hiking shoes! Perfect for my feet and they feel like I am walking on a cloud. #sweepstakes
This shoe is incredible
Training to backpack the Camino in September. Tried several other brands, was not loving any of them. Topo came recommended by peers on American Pilgrims on the Camino. I love these shoes. They are the best feeling and fitting shoes that I have ever purchased/worn. Topo, DO NOT CHANGE ONE THING! I will be a lifetime fan.
My new favorite shoe, it seems
I just recently bought these, and wore them for an 8 mile gravel run. I then decided to bring them as my backup shoe for a 200 mile race in Wales. I don't know why I would do that with a new pair of untested shoes, but I did. At about 40 miles in, my tried and tested shoes were soaked, so I switched out to the Ultraventure. Dry shoes, dry socks, happy feet. My feet got wet again, but they were still okay, the blisters I got in my first 40 miles with wet shoes weren't getting any worse. At about my 150, my Topos were wet, and my other shoes had dried out (volunteers put them on radiators!), so I decided to switch back to the dry tried and tested shoes…and I couldn't even tolerate having them on while seated. So the wet Topos went back on my feet, and they finished the race with me. I'm in love.
