Ultraventure 2

Thanks for this. I have 14 4E-6E, very wide mid foot, flat arch, nearly unobtanium. I've tried well over a dozen shoes and boots, most all too tight mid foot. Only thing wide enough mid foot so far are Lowa Renegade Wides, Hike Clifton 10 wide walking shoes and New Balance street shoes. Check out [https://runrepeat.com/](https://runrepeat.com/) they tear down and measure trail runners of regular width but I'm hopeful that the widest regular fit are also widest in wide size. In a trail runner, best bet from their list is Topo Ultraventure. It comes in 2E, did you try that or the regular D width?

As a fellow haglunds dude.. my main long run/race shoes are nike wildhorse 8's. They don't have a vibram sole, but the toebox is wide-ish and the heel counters don't bother my heels. They have a high heel toe drop though. I also run in topo ultraventure 2's and salomon sense ride 5's. The sense rides don't bother my heels at all, but the toebox is kinda narrow, I can't run more than 15 miles with them.

I loved the topo ultraventure 2's. They would have been a perfect shoe if they had a rock plate. I haven't tried the 3's or 4's yet. I'll probably pick up a pair of 4s when my current pergerines wear out. Have you considered the altra experience wild? They have a 4mm drop and a wide-ish toebox. I do most of my road runs in the experience flow, which are similar to the trail version.

NB rebel v5 for the roads, Saucony peregrine for daily trails, and Topo ultraventure for long runs/races

Yes (that’s why my original comment said “wide”). The wide version of the Mtn Racer 4 and Terraventure are closer to the Altra LP (non-wide) than the LP wide. The Ultraventure wide is close to the LP wide but doesn’t have the grip. Just my $0.02.

I’m tried the speedgoat wide and it’s not very wide at all. The Topo Mtn Racer 4 wide is wider. (Narrowest) Speedgoat wide <<< Mtn Racer 4 wide <= Altra LP normal < Ultraventure wide <= Altra LP wide (widest) Somewhere in there is the Hierro 4E, but that is so high volume without being all that wide in the forefoot.

That’s my favorite shoe! The regular version is fairly wide, too, but it’s nice they offer a wide for folks like me (bad tailor’s bunion). Topo offers a few options in wide, including the Mtn Racer 4, but it’s not as wide as the wide Lone Peak.

It’s nice they offer the Mtn Racer 4 in wide. The 3 wasn’t available in wide. Unfortunately, it’s still too narrow for me. Same with the Terraventure. The Ultraventure in wide fits me, quite similar to the wide Lone Peak, but I don’t think it has enough grip. I really wish Altra offered a Lone Peak with a 30 mm stack height for a little more cushion on rocky terrain (and had it available in wide). But that’s probably an uber niche market.

I have wide feet and have had issues with zero-drop shoes in the past so I can't hike in Altras. I currently own both the Topo Traverse and the Topo Ultraventure in wide. Both have 5mm drop. Traverse has a stiffer sole and deeper lugs, and designed for hiking. Ultraventure is more flexible like a running shoe. I also liked the Brooks Cascadia and Innov8 Trail Fly when I was shopping and settled on my Topos. At the end of the day, it came down to what fit my foot best. There are not a lot of options for wide feet, but I hope this gives you some options. Good luck!

I played with Astral Brewers for years and swapped to the Lone Peaks a few years back, but I feel like they've started to get narrower? For summer/dry times I'm in Topo Terraventures now and couldn't be happier. For winter/wet rounds I'm wearing the Topo Trailventures, I switched to those from the Hoka Anacapa (also got narrower).

I like my ultraventures on road as well

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.
