Long-distance trail comfort with proper wet-weather protection
Topo Athletic says:
The Ultraventure 5 is the best-selling trail shoe in the Topo Athletic line, now provided with GTX Invisible Fit. The high cushion waterproof trail runner designed for use on mild to moderate terrain and road to trail.
Our Verdict
The Topo Athletic Ultraventure 5 GTX combines a roomy toe box with a secure midfoot and heel, giving plenty of space for the toes.
The 35mm heel stack and ZipFoam midsole provide plenty of cushioning for long days, while the 5mm drop keeps the ride feeling balanced. At 274g per UK6 shoe, it also remains relatively light for a waterproof trail shoe.
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit provides the waterproofing, while the Vibram Megagrip outsole gives the shoe a much more convincing setup for wet rock, roots and mixed trails.
