Plush Trail Comfort. Roomy Toe Box. Built for Long Miles.

The Topo Athletic Men’s Ultraventure 5 in Black / Dark Teal is a high-cushion trail shoe designed for trail running, hiking and road-to-trail adventures.

The fifth generation keeps the familiar 35mm heel / 30mm forefoot stack and 5mm heel-to-toe drop, while using an updated ZipFoam™ midsole to maintain the plush, responsive ride the Ultraventure line is known for.

Underfoot, the Vibram® XS Trek outsole is designed to balance traction, durability and versatility across trail, gravel and road-to-trail terrain, while the updated mesh upper keeps the fit secure through the midfoot and heel with Topo’s signature roomy toe box.

Cushioning and ride

The Ultraventure 5 uses Topo Athletic’s ZipFoam™ midsole to deliver a plush, responsive ride built for longer runs and extended time on feet.

Its 35mm heel and 30mm forefoot stack provide plenty of protection underfoot while retaining a moderate 5mm drop, making it a strong option for runners who want a cushioned trail shoe without moving into a high-drop platform.

Grip and outsole

The Vibram® XS Trek outsole is designed to provide a balance of traction, durability, flexibility and stability across mixed terrain.

That makes the Ultraventure 5 particularly versatile for runners moving between gravel, fire trails, moderate trail and short sections of road.

Fit and toe box

Topo Athletic’s signature fit combines a roomy anatomical toe box with a more secure midfoot and heel.

This allows the toes to spread more naturally while maintaining a secure fit through the rest of the shoe — especially useful over longer distances when feet can swell.

Gaiter compatible

The updated upper includes Topo Athletic’s universal gaiter system, allowing compatible gaiters to be attached for additional protection from dirt, rocks and trail debris.

Ortholite® Performance Insole

An Ortholite® performance insole adds extra underfoot comfort with long-term resilience and antimicrobial properties.
