Non goretex trail runners Topo are my jam. Big wide toe box. Altra is my second choice
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.
Topo Ultraventure is a solid alternative. Nike Zegama also similar.
Topo for the win. Altras wear out way to fast
I’ve worn Altras and Topos. My wife has some Hokas. It really depends on what fits your feet.
Hi, I sell shoes at a local gear shop close to the PCT. You need to give me more information about your feet, your size and width. Chances are your shoes are too small. I personally hiked with the Topo Terraventure and love them, and I’ve also hiked over 1000 miles on the Ultraventure. Mainly I like their durability compared to Altra and HOKA. But again, it’s whatever shoe works for your foot and you’ve given zero info on that.
I’ve gotten 500+ miles on several Topo models, though I hear Norda 001 last even longer.
This, have used them for years and have been great. Most of my shoes are Topo because I have big wide feet and I like zero to minimal drop
