    Topo Wearers!

    I just got back from 2 weeks in Spain on the Camino del Norte with a pair of Topo Ultraventure 3s. In five prior 2 week trips, I've tried Merrel Moabs initially and the last two with Hoka Challengers (wide with Superfeet Green insoles). These Topos were the best I've tried. I got one small...

    Topo Wearers!

    I’m not done with you yet! Lol…want to try an experiment? Take an innersole out from an older pair of shoes. The more worn down the better. Then remove the new one. Put the old one in and the new innersole on top of it. If this is not too snug to the point it’s uncomfortable, take a hike with...

    Topo Wearers!

    Thank you. I have seen podiatrists (for two separate and years ago, past injuries) and do not require an orthotic.I don't believe this issue I am experiencing has something to do with my actual foot. Unless I have a weird achilles. ha ha! Topo customer service provided this link to different...

    You might consider visiting a recommended podiatrist in your area, too. They can be immensely helpful in diagnosing and treating foot conditions. I got orthotics that have worked very well for me.

    Topo Wearers!

    Hmmm...that sucks! Is it giving you a blister thru your socks or do your socks not cover the back of your ankle? Post a photo here of your set up on your feet. I want to understand this better. My Tabios cover my ankle so it has never been an issue. But yes, isn't it amazing how well they repel...

    ShellToucher. It's me from over on the video comments. RE: my new Topos. I did get the ladies MT Racer. They are black, so not a dumb color. :D The trim color is sort of a peachy mauve and fairly subtle and not dumb. But you wanted to know what I thought. Pros: cushy and less fatigue for my...

    Topo Wearers!

    Loved your video! Thanks for sharing! I did a first test run in muy Ultraventure 3s at work this week. Wore them with wrightsocks for 6.5 hours straight and felt great. Very cushioned, super grippy, comfortable and breathable. I’m pretty happy with them so far! I ended up just going up half a...

    …and my shoes are sold out (Altra help/recommendations!)

    I have the Topo Ultraventure 3 and - after years in Altras - I am a total convert. They are plush, have a wide toe box and are 5mm drop. They do have a couple models with 0 drop, too. Some podiatrists don't like zero drop...

    …and my shoes are sold out (Altra help/recommendations!)

    However, it's not a zero drop shoe. https://www.topoathletic.com/mens-ultraventure-3?quantity=1&color=47

    …and my shoes are sold out (Altra help/recommendations!)

    The Topo Athletic ULTRAVENTURE 3 is the comparable plush trail shoe to the Olympus 5. It also has the best in class Vibram full outsole as opposed to the Olympus somewhat problematic Vibram inserts glued onto the midsole. I haven't tried this brand yet but they seem to be garnering very positive...

    I ordered from the Topo website the ultraventure 3 in Wide and they are great. Yeah, REI claimed they didn't make a Wide version. Just 'cause they don't carry them doesn't mean they don't make em.

    Topo Wearers!

    Hi Wooz 👋 I am a size 8.5, but for summer hiking I take Altra Olympus 5’s in size 9 and Topo Ultraventure 3’s also in size 9. They fit the same for me!

    Topo Wearers!

    Yes, for me it's been the same size for Altra Lone Peaks, Olympus 5s, and Topo Ultraventures. I size up a 1/2 size for Caminos compared to local hiking.

    Topo Wearers!

    I have worn Topo Terraventures and Ultraventures on two Caminos, Rota Vicentina and the GR10 across the Pyrenees. I buy my normal size. The grip from the sole is great, even in the mountains.

    Topo Wearers!

    I have worn Topos for both of my Caminos. Camino Frances in 2021 and del Norte/primitivo in 2023. I sized up a half size. I personally love the Ultraventures. Cushion and comfort are great. I'll wear them again on the Mozarabe in October. 😊

    Topo Wearers!

    Half size larger. A whole size gives too much wiggle room & not enough stability when you need it on uphills & downhills. I’m normally an 8-1/2, so I use a 9.

    Topo Wearers!

    I have worn the Ultraventure 3 and Traverse for over a year for general hiking and preparing for the camino this year. I decided on the Traverse because it fit a little better, but I like the UV3 and it would be my second choice. For my foot, I went up a ½ size and have not had any issues with...
