Are you looking for a wide-toe box that provides cushion and a low-heel drop for use on the road and trails? The Ultraventure 4 combines all of that into a comfortable trail shoe.
The lightly updated shoe kept everything I loved about the leap it made from version 2 to 3 and then improved on the details. You never know if the next generation of shoes will be worth it, and I was pumped to see they kept the foundations the same and tweaked a few things that needed adjusting.
I tested the Ultraventure 4 on roads, snow-packed trails, and even the treadmill. While they are not ideal for a treadmill, the less aggressive lugs make it doable in a pinch. But I loved that the shoe could perform well on various terrains.
Who’s It Good For?
Who is the Ultraventure 4 good for? Let’s break it down with some common categories:
- Wide Feet: Yes! The wide-toe box is perfect for wide feet!
- Technical Trails: Probably not our first pick.
- Long Runs: Absolutely! The cushion in this shoe is made for longer adventures.
- Front of the Pack: Daily trainer, long runs, mixed terrain adventures, not so much a race day shoe.
