ULTRAVENTURE 5 GTX

Ultraventure 5 is Topo Athletic's best-selling trail shoe, now in its fifth generation. The GTX model has a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper, a waterproof membrane, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole. Midsole and geometry are the same as in Ultraventure 5. The shoe is built for trail running and hiking in wet weather, on routes that mix road, gravel and trail. A neutral shoe without a rock plate, with a gaiter attachment.

How Ultraventure 5 GTX is built

• ZipFoam midsole, 35/30 mm stack height. Plush cushioning with response, built for many hours on your feet.

• GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper. Waterproof, breathable membrane laminated directly to the upper, so the fit is the same as in Ultraventure 5.

• Vibram Megagrip outsole. Rubber compound for wet and dry ground, 5 mm lugs. Secure grip on wet rock, roots and gravel.

• Roomy toe box. Toes can spread, which matters on long days. Midfoot and heel stay secure.

• Padded heel collar and tongue. Durable upper with more padding around the ankle.

• Universal gaiter attachment. Hook-and-loop at the heel that fits Topo gaiters, sold separately.

• OrthoLite Performance insole. Soft step-in feel and long service life.

• Weight 255 g in US 7 (EU 38).

Ultraventure 5 GTX suits you if you

• Run or hike on trails in rain, wet ground and cold and want dry feet

• Hike in low shoes and want grip, cushioning and room for your toes

• Run from your door, over road and gravel, out onto the trail in one shoe

• Want a neutral trail shoe with a low drop
