Reviewers appreciate the roomy toe box and extra cushioning. This shoe can be worn with gaiters, which can help keep rocks and sticks from hitting your ankles. The shoe provides enough stability to help prevent overpronation, and the wide toe box keeps your feet from feeling cramped and uncomfortable during long runs. The external heel counter keeps your foot securely in place, even as you run on uneven terrain. The midsole features two levels of cushioning - a softer layer right beneath your foot and a firmer layer that helps protect your feet. The Vibram outsole and lugs provide added durability and traction. It has a highly cushioned platform for a soft, responsive landing and a foam collar to help prevent ankle irritation.

If you’re a trail runner with flat feet, the Topo Ultraventure 2 offers light stability without being too rigid. The Arahi 6 has received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, which means it has been found to help promote foot health. What’s more, the shoe has a breathable mesh upper and is available in several colors, including a buttery Sweet Corn color with orange and blue accents or classic black and white. The Arahi 6 is lighter than the Arahi 5 and has more cushioning in the tongue and a longer pull tab at the heel. The Arahi 6 features HOKA’s J-Frame technology, which prevents your foot from excessively overpronating, or rolling inward as you land.

Yet, despite its more minimal design, the shoe offers plenty of midfoot stability and cushioning, providing the extra shock absorption that flat-footed runners need.
