Topo Athletic

I liked these when I first put them on. Wore them to a two day music festival and wished I wouldn’t have. These made my back hurt, not sure why. I feel pressure on my instep when laced snug, a tight pinch. If not laced snug they slip on my heel.

I loved my Ultrafly 4s but it was time to replace them, however I can only find the new Ultrafly 5 now. As another reviewer said, it seems like they are in the style of Hokas now, which I happen to dislike aesthetically due the bulkiness of their heel. The heel cup on the 5s was extended, and I felt it rubbed against the back of my heel uncomfortably. I love Topos for their wide toe box due to my tendency for ingrown toenails, but overall the Ultrafly 5's are not nearly as comfortable as the 4s. Had to return them.

Perfect daily driver for hikes and trails.

I needed to order up a size (as others had suggested to go up 1/2 size) and continued to have issues with my sensitive toes rubbing on the outside. The wide toe box didn't work for me. I do really like the fit of the arch and heal, it felt snug in a good way holding my posterior foot well.

I think this pair was incorrectly sized. They were about 1/2-3/4” smaller than my other Topo’s, all of which are the same size. I love Topo but these had to go back.

Nice wide toe box to accommodate bunions. My heel kept slipping out of the shoe, even using a "runner's tie." HORRIBLE SQUEAK when walking. I know from experience with other shoes that squeaked like this that it will not go away.

My podiatrist initially recommended this brand. I love the colors and the wide toe box and wear them all the time. This is my 4th pair, They don't really wear out but I like a seasonal color refresh.

Comfortable from the get go! great support and cushion

I'm 63 years old. I've been running in Altra exclusively for years. Recently my 2-3 mile runs have blossomed into 4-5. I needed a little more cushion. I decided to try Topos Atmos. Comfortable from the jump I am now running 6.5 miles and then walking 3.5 miles as a cooldown. I have found my shoe! They are freaking awesome !!!

I wear one style as my everyday shoes, and I wear a different style for my daily dog walks. I have a third style that covers my ankle for trail walking. They are all great! I also have the recovery slip ons to wear as slippers or if I don't feel like tying my shoes! I was having a lot of foot, leg and hip pain before I found these and now I am pain free!

In looking for a thru hiking shoe other than the other zero drop brand Altr@ Olym. That is wide enough. I bought 3 ToPo models to try out. The Pursuit was the only 0 drop of the three. Someone in the reviews said " it's too wide" so that gave me hope, otherwise I would've assumed it would not be wide enough for me. Out of the 3 models I kept the Pursuit and Ultraventure 4 in wide. I did size up a 1/2 size from my usual size for both, so that also made a positive difference for me. I have a pronation tendency which has worsened with the above mentioned other brand. This shoe is a great balance between cusion and trail feel under foot. Good mid foot support and toe splay room. The Pursuit will be my day hiking shoe and training whereas the Ultraventure 4 is my thru hiking, backpacking shoe. Topo has really created a superior shoe hopefully they will not change the fit and feel of these. They are light, supportive, cushioned perfectly with a wide enough toe box for my EE. Fore foot. Bravo!!

Just took my new Topos on a trip to England and Iceland and hiked and scrambled a lot. These are awesome, great materials and a proper sticky Vibram outsole. These are like Altras but better in every single way. I had never heard of this brand but am happy I found them, I hope the quality stays this good.

I used these topos for doing multi-day treks. At 100 miles in, the side creases cracked and opened up, hence the debris such as dust, sand and small rocks would get stuck between the inner and outer shells. At 300 miles, the shoe has lost the cushioning and all the rocks could be felt despite a rock plate underneath. Given the huge price these sell for - my advice is - DO NOT buy these for long distance treks. Only buy for casual walks/hikes on well-maintained trails.

I bought these shoes for work and good not get through my first day of these shoes! After 4 hours these shoes were extremely painful! Way to narrow mid foot, but the toe was good. Do not buy if you like NB!

Love 'em!

Great, drop-zero shoe for life in general. Very cool-looking and comfortable.

I wear these for my day to day activities. I do walk about 8 miles per week & they are extremely comfortable!

I bought the shoes to walk 1200km on the Camino Frances (de Santiago) and the Camino Portuguese in consecutive walks in 2025. They felt secure, great grip and the roomy space around my toes resulted in zero blisters!!

Plus: they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have severe arthritis and these stop the pain and allow me to do much more walking. Things I don't like: the tongue is a bit short and the laces have an issue of sometimes slipping under the tongue. The back of the shoe above the heel, is awkward and a strange height - neither here nor there. It always catches the foot and has a tendency t roll in. It should be higher to facilitate ease of wear. without sliding under. A higher rise to that section would be 100% ideal.

These are the shoes I will use in upcoming race. I love how light and low they are. I don't like a lot of cushion or support. These shoes really fit my quasi minimalist shoe desires without getting too carried away. I wear these when I want to go fast. I mentally affirm I'm in my new cyclones- have to go fast. Usually works for me.

I loved the V1, having run the soles of 2 pairs. Many times I thought, mid run, it was the perfect training shoe. The new version keeps the upper fit, which is second to none, but is somehow lighter and the midsole more forgiving and a bit more energetic-exactly the improvements I was hoping for. However, I really miss the pure white colorway. If the shoe wasn't so good, and a marked improvement over the already great v1, I would have returned based on the colors. Please, please please please bring back the pure white color. Or consider adding more neutral / monochromatic colorways to all of your shoes. #sweepstakes

I am very active and I use my Topos for everything, from walking to running to cross training to kick-boxing to weight lifting - they always feel great!

The upper is light and airy, perfect for summer runs to work. Very cushiony and comfortable, like all my topos.

These are much better hiking shoes that the ultraverse i used previously. They have better heel cushion, a stronger base, and stiffer sides. They don't breathe quite as well but its not a huge deal.

I had these because of section hiking the AT, 10-15-20 miles vary per each hike. I paired them with custom soles (heat molded). They grip, dry easily, light weight, wide toe box. All worth the usage I get out of them. Comfortable after a full day of hiking with a full backpack. The only wear I see after 300miles on them is the outer bunion side of my feet must be rubbing up against the fabric, causing some wear. The tread and the physical appearance of the shoes are looking durable. I will purchase another pair of these for longer trips. Definitely need gaiters for hiking as the low profile shoe does collect debris. MT-5 does vent well. Topo please add some colors options available for this model.
