Ultraventure 1

I am still a baby trail runner. I have worn through asics Trabuco max 4. I sized up to get the width, but I'm having the issue of when my foot slides forward the laces cut off circulation and my feet go numb. I have gotten my feet scanned, but my issue is most stores don't carry wide or Extra wide sizes and my feet are too small to try on men's shoes in store. The Trabuco Max's don't have extended sizes. I ordered new balance hierros and the toe protection is too firm and rubs my big toes. I've tried topo athetics and I loved the toe box, but the wide were still too narrow in the mid sole. I feel like I'm stuck the nightmare of Cinderella. At this point I think my size is 8 or 8.5 Extra wide. Please help 🙏

I love their return policy! I think brooks are going to be the next try. According to the interwebs there are some in-stock at my local fleet feet. I'm thinking I'll try on in store and order from brooks directly so I can test them. I'm able to pinpoint when I typically have issues but it's not until after mile 2.

I tried the ultraventure standard in store and I was hopeful. I was curious how well the tread on them lasted on roads, because they're supposed to be a hybrid. I might order the wide from topo directly. They were great with my recent trials. I also want to look into altra wides. I bought a pair of altras and ended up returning them. They were standard width, so I'll look at altra directly.

Road shoes or a road to trail shoe. I rain a similar timed event with similar terrain wearing Topo Ultraventures a couple weeks ago and they were great.

I alternate between Topo's Ultraventure for less technical trails and the Vista for anything more technical or muddy. I like them both, but the Ultraventure with the same outsole as the Vista would be the perfect shoe.

Topos are the best for larger people and wide feet. I have tried all that are listed above and have found the topo ultraventure to be the best!

Topo ultraventure. Super comfortable.

Mine is the topo athletic traverse or ultraventure.
