The Topo Athletic Ultraventure 4 Ms is a cushioned trail shoe for long distance running, hiking and long hours on the trail. The shoe combines an anatomically spacious toe box with a more enveloping fit around the midfoot and heel.

Topo Athletic Sweden states that the brand's shoes may feel slightly small and therefore recommends that you choose half a US size larger than you normally wear .

Men's size chart

How to measure your foot

1. Place a piece of paper on a hard floor with the short side against a wall.
2. Put on the socks you intend to use with the shoes.
3. Place your heel lightly against the wall and put weight on your foot.
4. Mark in front of the longest toe.
5. Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark.
6. Repeat with the other foot, starting from the longest one.

It's best to measure later in the day, when your feet are normally slightly larger.

How much extra space is needed?

For trail running, the insole should be about 5–10 mm longer than the foot . For long runs and ultra-distances, it’s wise to be closer to the upper end of the range as feet can swell.

Example: If your longest foot measures 27 cm, a 27.5 cm insole may be a good starting point. This corresponds to a US 9.5 and EU 43.

How does the Ultraventure 4 fit?

The Ultraventure 4 has Topo's signature fit:

• spacious and rounded toe box
• space for the toes to spread out
• more stable fit around the midfoot
• wraparound heel grip
• plenty of room when your feet swell during longer rides

The toe box should feel roomier than a traditional running shoe. This does not automatically mean that the shoe is too big. First, assess whether the midfoot and heel are stable and whether the foot slides forward when running downhill.

Should you go up half a size?

Topo Athletic Sweden generally recommends going half a US size larger than you usually wear. This is especially relevant if you:

• is between two sizes
• using thicker running or hiking socks
• runs long distances
• usually get swollen feet
• want extra space in downhill running

If you already have a pair of Topo Athletic that fits well, the same US size is normally the best starting point.

Standard or Wide?

The standard width Ultraventure 4 already has a roomy toe box, but the fit isn't as wide throughout the shoe. Choose the Wide version if the length feels right but the shoe presses on the midfoot, toe joints, or the widest part of the foot.

Don't go up several sizes to solve a width problem. You risk getting unstable heel grip and your foot slipping on technical terrain.

Check the fit

The right size means that:

• you have about 5–10 mm in front of the longest toe
• toes can move and spread out
• your heel doesn't lift when you walk or run
• The midfoot sits securely without pressure or numbness
• toes don't hit the front edge on downhill slopes
• the foot does not slide sideways on uneven surfaces
