Hey guys, I really like my Topo MT-4 (which are most similar to the Trail venture 4 now) they have 25-22mm stack. I am looking at getting another Topo that has a bit more cushion for longer runs. I usually do around 8-12kms but I may look at doing a 50km soon. What model should I go with? I live in Interior BC so there's a lot of steep rocky stuff, packed dirt and not much mud at all. I'm between the Pursuit 2, MTN Racer 4, and the Ultra venture 4.
Yeah I immediately swapped my insoles in the MT4\terraventure to a cork sole and they have been great. The original insole had my foot sliding all over the place and stayed wet for ages. I'm on the fence about just getting a fresh set of terraventures. They felt quite good in the store when I tried em on.
Trail shoes on road is just uncomfortable and wears them out quickly. Road shoes on trail is a recipe for slips, falls and injury.
If you can, road to trails like Topo MT or Ultraventure works best. If the terrain is at all techical or slick, I'd not use road shoes.
Yes, I wear them as everyday shoes and hiking.
I occasionally wear boots if I’m backpacking with a heavy pack. The Topos don’t last as long as I’d like them to but they are perfect in the toe box for me.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
