I wear my custom orthotics in these and with those, the fit is excellent and supportive. I love the wider toe box but not huge in mid foot and heel. These fit me way better than Hoka which are just big all over. My feet are narrow, especially in the heels. The subdued purple is a great color!

I have been running in version3 for couple of years. I wear a 9.5w. This version 4 is poorly made. The left and right don’t match! I have tried 3 pairs and there is obviously a manufacturing issue on this shoe. I think it’s the wide shoes since my friend has a 10.5 size M
and hers look identical.

I have tried All the big brands and had so many issues with fit I stumbled by accident onto Topos. I decided to try. I love the shoe and color! My first pair of Topos. I plan to use them as athletic shoes, not hiking particularly. I’ve only walked around the house. The arch support is prominent which my feet will need to become accustomed to but I’m hopeful to improve my foot health. I’m excited to take these on a nice long walk!

Fantastic shoes, especially if you have a narrow heel and foot but a very wide toe box or bunions. The zero drop feels great also! My feet are finally happy!!!

I am so so happy I happened onto Topos! These shoes are just what I need for shorter hikes and traveling. The wide toe bed (needed for my bunions) with normal heel width is unique and so appreciated. The cushioning and support is fabulous (I literally feel like I’m springing with each step). Also nice: the connecting grips the shoe laces go through that keep the shoe’s tongue centered rather than slipping to the side like with most shoes. This is a supportive, comfortable, well-designed shoe this is a most welcome addition to my walks. I’ve just ordered some waterproof shoes from the same company. I highly recommend!

I LOVE these shoes. I am not a runner so I can't comment on that aspect. I bought them due to very sore toes, and what a relief they are with that perfect wide toe box. These shoes are so comfortable and well made, attractive, and fit great. Now I am even using the treadmill. I already want to run out and buy another pair.

It took me awhile to covert to the wide-toe-box trend but after trying these on it was hard not to feel like my toes were being squished in a regular shoe! These are so comfortable, the vibram soles hold up really well on the trails and I can still run on the road a bit in these without feeling like I need more cushion. Bonus, I feel like these Topos actually make a wider toe box look cute instead of like a clown shoe. I hope they never mess with this model because I think I’m sold for life on these!

I love them, I've always used NB, but the last model I bought (I always buy wide) felt narrow. The next model was the extra wide called EE, it felt like the wide ones from years ago. I was recommended the Altra brand, it's superior to everything.

I love these shoes! They have a roomy toe box, lots of cushioning and arch support, good traction, and fit snugly on my heels. I’m wearing them for neighborhood walks and hikes on well maintained trails. These are my first pair of Topos, but I’m already planning to buy a second pair in a different style for casual daily wear.

So comfortable for my wide toe splay. This is a great shoe for people with low volume feet but wide toe areas.

The fit is true to size; however with every upgrade in the Topo shoes, it does change and fit differently from the previous version. The toe box seems bigger in this version. Also the material is somewhat reduced in quality as they attempt to utilize more and more recycled products in them…they tend to wear out a lot quicker which I am not pleased about.

I loved the Ultraventure 3 and anxiously awaited version 4. Slight disappointment but not a bad shoe. The purple is subtle and nice looking.
This version 4 feels a bit more structured than the v3, and beefier. When I tried them on, I thought they were awesome. I wear them, but I prefer the 3. The 3 had a better feel of the ground, not being beefy. The v4 reminds me of wearing the men’s v3. V4 is almost approaching hoka styling and fit, which doesn’t work for me. V4 also inflames that little bone on the side of the foot, on both feet, darned it. So, I hope the next iteration is more like the v3. The flexibility of that version, along with decent cushioning that still allowed for excellent ground feel was the cat’s meow.
I might order a pair of men’s v4, just to try them out. I wear a women’s 8M street shoe, and an 8.5 in all topos. (a 7 in men’s)

I like the shoe design and the color but even though I wear a 7.5 in other Topo shoes, the toe box was both wider and longer.

Love Topo shoes but this women's dark purple shoe with dark teal sole is NOT an attractive color.

So I love the wide toe box. I wear orthotics and this is my first lower heel drop shoe. I am getting extreme pain in the all of foot under my 2nd toe next to my pinky toe. I just do t think they have enough padding for people with feet issues

I was very disappointed because last year's Ultraventure 3 fit perfect! It also had more cushioning. This new one #4 runs wider in the toe box and throughout the shoe. The Ultaventure 3 was my favorite Topo shoe! So sad they changed it!! The only downside to the older model was that the heel wore out in just six months. The rest of the shoe was in perfect condition! I used them for walking three miles a day on pavement.

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.

Who else makes shoes that are actually shaped like normal unbound feet? Hardly anyone.
