{"product_id":"topo-ultraventure-5-black-dark-teal","title":"Topo Ultraventure 5 Men","description":"\u003ch1\u003eTopo Ultraventure 5 Men\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Topo Ultraventure 5 is the trail shoe we recommend when the plan is simply \"long\". It's Topo Athletic's best-selling trail model, now in its fifth generation, and it does exactly what a long-distance trail shoe should: soft, generous cushioning, reliable grip and enough room in the forefoot that your toes are still happy after hours on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderfoot you get Topo's reworked \u003cstrong\u003eZipFoam™ midsole\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 35 mm heel and 30 mm forefoot stack. It's a forgiving, comfortable ride that takes the sting out of rooty paths, gravel roads and the tarmac stretches that link trails together. The 5 mm drop sits in a sweet spot – low enough for a natural stride, but without the calf load of a zero-drop shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrip comes from a \u003cstrong\u003eVibram® XS Trek outsole\u003c\/strong\u003e with a lug pattern built for mixed terrain rather than deep mud. That makes the Ultraventure 5 a genuinely versatile shoe: it's as comfortable on forest trails and park paths as it is on gravel and short road sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest updates are up top. A new tightly woven mesh upper is more durable while still breathing well, and extra padding around the heel collar and tongue makes the fit noticeably plusher. Topo has also added a \u003cstrong\u003euniversal gaiter attachment\u003c\/strong\u003e at the heel – a small detail you'll appreciate on dusty summer trails and snowy winter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we recommend the Topo Ultraventure 5\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany max-cushioned trail shoes squeeze the forefoot. The Ultraventure 5 doesn't. Topo's anatomical toe box lets your toes spread naturally while the midfoot and heel stay secure, which is exactly what you want when feet swell late in a long run or hike. If you're looking for one comfortable trail shoe for long runs, hiking and everything in between, this is one of the easiest recommendations we can make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong trail runs and ultra training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiking in a low, lightweight shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed terrain – road, gravel and trail in the same run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunners who prioritise cushioning over low weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral runners who want a roomy toe box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReworked ZipFoam™ midsole for soft, durable cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35\/30 mm stack height with a 5 mm drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibram® XS Trek outsole for grip on wet and dry surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopo's signature roomy toe box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew tightly woven mesh upper with extra heel and tongue padding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal gaiter attachment (gaiters sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthoLite® Performance insole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cushioned trail running shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trail, gravel and road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderfoot feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e ZipFoam™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vibram® XS Trek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRock plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStack height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 mm heel \/ 30 mm forefoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 304 g (men's US 9 \/ EU 42.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's new in the Topo Ultraventure 5 compared with the Ultraventure 4?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stack height, 5 mm drop and Vibram® XS Trek outsole carry over. New for version 5 are a tightly woven mesh upper, extra padding around the heel and tongue, a universal gaiter attachment and a reworked ZipFoam™ midsole.

If you're between two sizes, Topo recommends going up half a size. The toe box is wide, while the midfoot and heel have a standard, secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOPO","offers":[{"title":"EU 42","offer_id":60128258228608,"sku":"M103-BLDT-085","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 42,5","offer_id":60128258261376,"sku":"M103-BLDT-090","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 43","offer_id":60128258294144,"sku":"M103-BLDT-095","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 44","offer_id":60128258326912,"sku":"M103-BLDT-100","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 44,5","offer_id":60128258359680,"sku":"M103-BLDT-105","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 45","offer_id":60128258392448,"sku":"M103-BLDT-110","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU 46","offer_id":60128258425216,"sku":"M103-BLDT-115","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/8628\/9508\/files\/M103.Black-DarkTeal_00.png?v=1792143073","url":"https:\/\/www.runforest.com\/en-gb\/products\/topo-ultraventure-5-black-dark-teal","provider":"Runforest.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
