Ultraventure 3

Haven't tried the Pegasus, have the Ultraventure 3 and the 4 is not too different. The UV is fine on most trails when new, but with short lugs you may want to be careful on loose soft/wet/slippery trail surfaces. Works on road but way heavier than it needs to be. I don't particularly recommend hybrid shoes because the criteria for road vs trail can conflict with each other and roads can wear down outsole lugs faster so you're often getting less overall life and less performance vs dedicated separate road and trail shoes. But there are some trail shoes that work fine for road and have good life because of the outsole lugs: NNormal, Peregrine, Endorphin Edge if you can find them, Hoka ATR.

I've been thru Topo Hydroventure, Ultraventure 1/2/3, MTN Racer 1/2/3/4. The UV3's lost the outer/lug grip plot, the MTN3's felt like running in floppy support-free canvas bags (the MTN4's are a return to form). I haven't tried the Vistas yet. What I'm concerned about with the Vistas is catching little rocks in that split heel just like Saucony Peregrines do. Did you experience this in your run test? Other than that, the lugs are the same as the MTN4's, right?

Love my Ultraventure 3s. Great if you like some cushion. Topos are great and finally solved my blister problems. I swear by them.

My Topo Ultraventure 3s got me through my 50k last fall beautifully. This is coming from a longtime Saucony fan.

My Topo Ultraventures have been great shoes and held up well. Have got me through two 50k’s, blister free!

Topo Ultraventures have been a really solid shoe. I’ve had better durability with Topo after switching over from Altra but still get that wide toebox. Another brand I like is Mount to Coast. Their T1 (rugged) and H1 (road to trail) models are both great options.

I tried on the Calderas, but I have wide feet and those shoes felt too narrow for me. I ended up getting the Topo Ultraventure 3 which became possibly my favorite pair of shoes ever. Those Topos were my main road-to-trail travel shoes - my Swiss Army Master of None shoe. I don’t necessarily like them for technical trails, but they still do ok on them.

Topo Ultraventure 3 was my go-to master-of-none travel shoe. I’ll likely be getting the 4 in the future, especially because it looks better.

>Somebody mentioned they might not be as wide in the toebox as Atras but I don’t find that to be true Altra Lone Peak 9 toebox width\[0\]. Topo MTN Racer 3\[1\], Traverse\[2\] and Ultraventure 3\[3\]. Make of the 3-5mm width difference what you will, but it seems there is a consistent difference. Your feet may simply be narrow enough that your toes aren't close to touching even the Topo toebox. The Topo toebox is above average width to begin with. \[0\] [https://runrepeat.com/altra-lone-peak-9#toebox-width](https://runrepeat.com/altra-lone-peak-9#toebox-width) \[1\] [https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-mtn-racer-3#toebox-width](https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-mtn-racer-3#toebox-width) \[2\] [https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-traverse#toebox-width](https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-traverse#toebox-width) \[3\] [https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-ultraventure-3#toebox-width](https://runrepeat.com/topo-athletic-ultraventure-3#toebox-width)

I'm on my sixth pair and absolutely adore them. Don't last as long as some but they're soooo comfortable. I love the Uktraventure the most

Had the Ultraventure 3 and really wanted to use them for running, but the midsole "correction/support" were to agressive and resulted in pain as well as the 5mm drop lead to ankle inflamation. Sold them.
