    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    This is more like a walk than a hike. I wore lightweight trailrunners…Could do in sandals except gravel gets inside.

    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    Hi. What's a rock plate. 😁 1400kms later on Del Norte and Portuguese. If its important then maybe that's why I should have had one. Seriously don't worry about it. More weight on your feet that you can do without. Buen Camino

    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    You don’t need rockplate . Plus ultraventure have 30 mm stack height and vibram mega grip . It is more than enough:)

    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    Hi- spent some time in REI the other day trying on lots of trail runners. I found the Topo Ultraventure 2 to be a good fit and I think I will use it when I start the CF next month. However I noticed it lacks a rock plate. How important is that feature for the Camino, specifically the Frances...

    Topo ultraventure 2

    I am new to TOPOs, they are hard to find in Vancouver, Canada area. I ended up ordering direct the TOPO ultraventure pro. I like them, a little different so getting used to them. I just went up a half size too. They have a rock plate, so they are stiffer than most trail runners. I put in...

    Topo ultraventure 2

    I will be wearing Topo Ultraventure 2, and went up a half size. They have worked well so far during training walks, very comfortable, and perfect with a pair of Darn Tough socks. Buen Camino!

    Topo ultraventure 2

    In the ever-continuing shoes-for-wide feet annals: If you have the the Topo Ultraventure 2, do you usually size up 1/2 or 1 whole size? I'm still struggling with the Lone Peaks' zero-drop and my budding heel pain/plantar fasc. I liked the shape and cushioning of the Topo shoe, but only had...

    Shoes for wide feet, want to avoid problems with zero drop shoes

    After wearing Keen boots of various kinds for years (day hikes), I started getting issues and after a lot of looking and trying out boots and trail shoes...landed on Topo's Ultraventure...my lasted pair being the updated Ultraventure 2. They don't last as long as Keen boots, but are so...

    Shoes for wide feet, want to avoid problems with zero drop shoes

    I've had good luck recently with TOPO Ultraventure Pros. Wide toe box like Altras, but 4-5mm drop like Hokas. Best of all worlds if you can find them.

    Trail Runner Brands That Work for wide feet

    Wore Topo Zero Drops for my last two 1/2 marathons... no toe problems and they were excellent shoes. First time I had not worn Nike Free for a distance event and was very pleasantly surprised by Topo's fit and feel.

    trail runners with wider toe box

    I've been wearing the Topo Athletic Ultraventure. Wide toe box and a bit of lift (5mm). I changed out the lacing to allow for a high arch and they're perfect. https://www.rei.com/product/188653/topo-athletic-ultraventure-2-trail-running-shoes-womens?color=PURPLE/GREY

    Trail runners: Altra or Brooks, or Hoka????

    Tried Altra and Hoka on two caminos. My favorite is Topo Athletic Ultraventure.

    Who Bought Lone Peak 4.0? (Currently discussing 4.5!)

    Update. 2 pairs of Topo’s Ultraventures arrived last night .. between UK size 8.5 and 9 , i have gone with the UK 9 ... toe box is wide, perhaps not as wide as Lone Peak, but definitely works for me. Im a UK 8 in a shoe (small feet i know) but I think the Topo’s may run slightly smaller, and...

    Who Bought Lone Peak 4.0? (Currently discussing 4.5!)

    I'll have to try the Topo Ultraventures on. the lone peak 4.5 has that seam in the rear many have an issue with. Altra Timp 2.0 maybe? does anyone know which Hoka trail runner has the widest toebox? my last pair wasn't wide enough, Clifton 6, only used for local walking and running, not Camino.

    Apologies for terrible typos .. 😀

    Who Bought Lone Peak 4.0? (Currently discussing 4.5!)

    ...harder wearing than Altras .. Cost is similar to Altra (whom I believe were acquired by North Face .. which may explain why numerous customers are mentioning changes they don't like) I see another reply in here mentikning that they used the Topo Ultraventures on their Camino last year ...

    Who Bought Lone Peak 4.0? (Currently discussing 4.5!)

    Ahhh... This was me with the 3.5... They felt just awful after the 3.0. I've heard great things about Topo so maybe another to try. I'm hoping to do 800km so good to know they'll last!
