Topo Athletic Ultraventure 3 trail running shoe

Topo Athletic is an American performance footwear brand founded in 2013 by Tony Post, the former CEO of Vibram USA and a veteran of the Rockport Company. The brand is known for its distinctive design philosophy, featuring a roomy toe box, a secure midfoot and heel, and a low-to-neutral drop, aimed at promoting a natural running stride.

In 2022, Topo Athletic was acquired by Topgum, though most organizational structures remained consistent with its US roots. The manufacturing of Topo Athletic shoes is primarily outsourced to specialized factories in Vietnam and China, which is standard for performance technical footwear. The shoe featured in the image is often recognized for its use of Vibram outsoles, a nod to the founder's professional history.
