Women's Terraventure 4 WP Waterproof Comfortable Cushioned Durable 3MM Drop Trail Running Shoes, Athletic Shoes for Trail Running

I rely heavily on Amazon product reviews, so I was little hesitant to purchase these for $150 with no reviews. I am always on the hunt for a good solid shoe and I think most people would agree that it's next to impossible to find anything decent for under $100 these days. Upon further research on the company's website, I found that these are a new model for Topo, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase them without any reviews. I'm happy to leave the first Amazon review to help others in their purchasing decision. I currently have several pairs of Altra Provisions and was looking for a waterproof version of that shoe. Altra does not make a waterproof Provision and so I tried both their Lone Peak and Olympus GTX, which ARE waterproof but neither of these shoes worked for me. Upon first receiving the Topo Terraventure 4 WP, I found that they are made extremely well. I tried them on and OMG, comfort right out of the box!!! They feel way more supportive than the Altra's in that, they feel like they are hugging your foot. The area around your ankle feels like a collar - not restrictive in any way - but feels like it supports your foot from going from side to side. I also like the way the shoe feels underfoot. You can feel the entire sole making contact with the ground below, which gives an extremely supportive and steady feeling. I like a zero drop shoe, which the Altra's have and these are only 3mm drop, so I cannot really notice the difference between the two in that aspect. The toe box is very roomy like the Altra's as well. I cannot speak to running or hiking in them but with the support that they offer, I imagine they would be perfect for both. I use them for walking and for me, they are a very comfortable shoe for daily use too. They are definitely waterproof and great for inclement weather. I am a solid Size 7 but like the Altra's, these seem to run a 1/2 size small, so a 7 1/2 fit me perfectly. I like them so much that I just purchased the non-waterproof version of the Terraventure 4, which are great too! My only suggestion would be to offer these in more colors to choose from instead of just grey.

I do daily fast hikes, about 3-4 miles, on mostly unpaved urban park trails. I was SO excited to again have a pair of waterproof hikers! Unfortunately, the right shoe leaked enough that my sock was wet (not soaked) when I finished my trek. I'm attempting to exchange for a new pair, and hope the waterproofing is just not low-performing overall. My left foot was totally dry.These are my 2nd pair of Topos, after having been an Altra enthusiast for 4 pairs of Lone Peak and 1 Timp. I switched because the Altra treads wore out in less than a year and prices kept climbing, while features were reduced! I much prefer Topo's vibram soles and more supportive, less spongy feel. It holds my foot more firmly, too; feels more secure with lateral movements and clambering over rocks and roots. My first pair was non-waterproof Topo Pursuit. Tread is definitely worn, but still serviceable for street walks (whereas Altras are worn past flat in key areas). Terraventure seems to be cut a bit slimmer in the toebox, which is a plus imo, still plenty of room for toe spread, but more agile on the trails. I'm prone to plantar fascitis, and it nearly disappeared after I started wearing the zero drop shoes. The Topo Pursuit is zero, and I don't really notice a difference with the Terraventure's 3mm drop. The only thing missing for me is a heel pull-on loop, but I still would enthusiastically give it 5 stars, but 4 now for the faulty waterproofing.I wear size 8M, have a slim foot with slightly narrow heel and these fit perfectly, no heel slippage and the collar does not cut into my ankle bones. I like this minimalist, go-with-everything dark grey color.

The absolute best sneaker I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. I walk about 10-12 miles/day 5-6 days a week and these have made my feet feel so good while doing so. Size is true. Lightweight and truly waterproof. No slipping and built with the highest of quality. The most important thing to me is the wide toe box to relieve pressure off of my bunions. I can walk with zero pain for 8+ hours! I will be wearing TOPO brand for a long time to come! Excellent quality and value.

I broke my toe three weeks before a music festival held in the redwoods by a river - so lots of river rocks and uneven paths. I was so nervous about re-injuring my toe but I wore these shoes and it did not even feel like I had broken my toe at all. I was able to dance and walk 40k steps in a day with no issues! Held my toe in place and had no pain and didn’t have to limp along the entire weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about these shoes!!!

Comfortable, fit well BUT:1. Not Waterproof, just hot.2. I haven't worn them much even though purchased over a year ago and the fabric inside the heel is torn on both shoes.

Bought these because I have a pair of RunVenture 4’s that are super comfortable with lightweight cushion Vibram soles- which I LOVED but they have run their course. Decided to try these. I wanted something for work- I walk/stand/hike/jog and also outside all day and wanted something comfortable that wasn’t a boot. Wore them for 8 hours today and I’m satisfied. For the first hour I had them on, they really hurt my feet (I have “special” feet) but then I was able to break them in more and more as the day went on. By the end of the day my feet were very comfortable. It’s winter and my feet stayed warm. I loved the grip of the Vibram soles and the stability they provide with the extra thick shoe material. I’ve included a picture of the inside to provide an idea of Topo’s “inner boot” that provides the support for their waterproof claim. They’re a few ounces heavier due to the durabile rubber sole and extra waterproof material inside, but lots better than wearing boots. Excited for the next few days to break them in some more! Hope this helps in you making your decision to buy.

Ordered these just over five months ago- it has barely rained the last 2 1/2 months. Both shoes have holes wearing in them in the same place and are not waterproof at all. They were waterproof for the first 2 1/2 to 3 months top. Only pro- they are comfortable.

These shoes were great for the first month. They were waterproof and were great for walking the dogs on the wet grass along the greenbelt. That was short lived, however. After just months of only walking in them on the greenbelt, they started getting rips in the sides and are starting to come apart near the soles. These were a waste of money for me. I don’t walk on rugged trails or jog in them, so it’s not as if I caused the issues. They’re just very poorly constructed. I will never buy this brand again and will shop more reliable brands for about half the price.
