A Light, Adaptable Trail Shoe in a Waterproof Package
The Topo Ultraventure 5 is one of the most versatile trail shoes on the market. The shoe boasts a moderate outsole and soft cushioning that can handle anything you throw at it, from road-to-trail runs, moderate hikes, gravel roads, and nearly any other type of terrain.
The Ultraventure excels in so many terrains due to its Vibram XS Trek EVO outsole. The wide lugs provide lots of grip and traction, but don’t feel overly stiff or uncomfortable on less technical terrain. This outsole works with the high stack of ZipFoam cushioning in the midsole to provide a soft and reliable ride, no matter where your hikes or runs take you.
And while you’re guaranteed to appreciate the shoe’s balanced comfort and versatility, the main standout is the shoe’s natural fit and ride. The wide, foot-shaped toe box allows for toe splay and stability as you trek through rocky, rugged terrain, and the low 5 mm drop ensures you can feel connected to the ground with every step.
The Ultraventure 5 GTX will keep you even more prepared for your trail adventures thanks to its GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper. This membrane keeps the shoe feeling light and breathable, all while effectively repelling water, slush, mud, and more. Move more confidently in any weather condition with Topo’s waterproof version of its reliable, flexible trail shoe.
