Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultrafly 2

Lately I have tried a few different shoes/ brands looking for a great shoe that is fast but still provides great cushioning and support. Not tooo supportive and not heavy.The Ultraflys are what I've been looking for all along! They're perfect for long races, but I also wear them for 10Ks cause they are light and fast! My toes have room. My knees are happy. I like the ice blue. No blisters. I'll definitely buy again and my feet have finally found their match made in heaven!

In late 2017, the shoe I had been wearing was changed so dramatically, I had to find something else. I felt lost then my coach suggested I try Topos. I hadn't heard of them and was a bit hesitant but I trust my coach completely. And I'm SO glad I did! From the first run in them, I was hooked. Transitioning to the 5mm drop went great and my feet love the wide toebox yet snug heel. My foot stays put, I don't get a cramped up, stuffy feeling even after long distances. Ran a marathon in December and my feet felt terrific. These also helped the foot pain I had been dealing with prior to wearing them and now, my feet are stronger thanks to the Topos. Foot pain is but a distant memory. One of the things I love best about the Ultrafly 2's is they are nicely cushioned, offering comfort for my feet yet still feel responsive so I can feel the road instead of feeling like I'm running on marshmallows. I am a Topo ambassador.

After a barrage of Topo Facebook suggestions, I gave in and purchased a pair in this "unknown" brand and style just a few months ago. I am a nightmare as a shoe customer and finding running shoes to meet my needs has been impossible. Within 2 weeks of trying out the new Ultrafly II's, I was hooked on Topo. Now, I'm heartbroken because I've been advised my perfect shoe in the perfect color (black) in the perfect width for my forefoot and the perfect snugness for my heel as well as with the perfect stability and perfect drop to avoid getting shin splints, irritating my painful 2 year old IT Band issue or causing a Plantar Fasciitis flare up will no longer be available. I hope and pray that an Ultrafly III not in obnoxious shades of bridesmaid horror is on the way to keep me from falling back into the depths of misery when the two pairs I've been able to buy are old and worn because I'm too old and worn to want to start again on my quest for the perfect road shoe. *Topo note: the Ultrafly 2 will be back in stock in the next month. We are not planning to launch an Ultrafly 3 until sometime next year (2020).*

Excellent shoe

This is my second pair of Topo running shoes and they are the best. They feel so comfortable on my feet, there is no "breaking in" period. The roomy toe box is ideal for my foot. I highly recommend Topo athletic shoes.

I like this shoe. Been wearing Topo's for a couple years now. Had the Phantom for a bit. Not running as much so, this was a perfect pair for low mileage, 10-12 miles a week. Nice to have a women's pair in 12 that fit.

Prior to the Coronavirus stay-at-home mandate, I was not a runner but an avid competitive tennis player and hiker. I took up running three months ago as a safe and allowable activity during the shut-down. The only pair of shoes in my closet that worked was a 12 year old pair of Brooks, that were falling apart. So, I began a search for the perfect running shoe. I tried shoes from Brooks, Altra and Newton, before finding this shoe. Love them! I have a long narrow foot, with a narrow heel but need a wide toe box for Morton's Neuroma. These are perfect for me. Now, I am looking to buy more Topo Athletic shoes for trail running and recovery.

This is my second pair of the ultrafly - I love the minimal heel-toe drop, the back of the heel is a good height and stays put, and the nice wide toe-box is so much easier on my forefoot. No more black toenails or lost circulation on long runs. It's got a just the right amount of cushion and support (I'm in my 40s and lots of miles under my belt), but not too stiff which is a complaint I have with many shoes. I hope they keep making this model for a long time.

I just bought my second pair of topos -- the Ultrafly 2 -- and I am very pleased with my purchase. I love the wide, comfortable toe-box design. I have very wide problematic feet, and I use these shoes for daily walking. They accommodated the shape of my foot and my walking stance on the first wearing. Good support.

I love the natural stride Topos facilitate, and the wide toe box is a gift if you have a bunion. These are my 5th pair. I have a 5 mm drop shoe now and for my last pair. I tried a no-drop shoe and didn't build up to them, strained my achilles a bit. So be sure to ease into them if you are used to a higher drop shoe. I love the no-drop for walking and hiking, seem to do better with the 5mm drop for running.

I use these shoes for road running & my old pair of Ultraflys were my everywhere shoes ~ really comfortable

I've had many different running shoes that I use for running and work. These are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I wear size 8 in women's shoes and have a medium width. The ample room in the toe box is the feature I like the best. Whether I'm wearing them for work or when I run, my toes never feel squished or pinched. I often forget I'm on my feet for 14 hours because they're that amazing! The cushion is on the soft side and the support is very stable. I can't wait to purchase the next shoe in the Ultrafly series. Will it be the Ultrafly 3? Or maybe it will be called Superfly! Because of their awesomeness!

These are the greatest shoes! Because of COVID-19 I couldn't go shopping so I took a chance, read the reviews, and got these shoes. I needed shoes with a big toe box and these are perfect without looking clunky. They were comfortable from the minute I put them on. I walk 4+ miles every day and they've been the best shoes!

This shoe transformed my running. Love them so much bought a second pair. I don't go long distances but i feel like I could and all former aches, pops & twinges have disappeared.

I am on my 5th pair of Ultrafly. Very comfortable with enough cushioning to keep your feet feeling fresh on long runs but not too soft.

I get a half size bigger for my running shoes. It's pretty obvious I love these shoes considering these are my second identical pair.

Use for walking 2-4/day. Seems to be about 1/2 size to big.

I've worn Topo shoes for years now. I used to be able to get them at a store locally, but when I no longer could, I ordered them online. I've worn Ultra fly, Magna fly and Phantom. They're all great. I wear them for work. 12.5 hour shifts on your feet make you appreciate a great shoe. Comfort, quality, wide toe box. These are the best for me. Thanks, Topo for great shoes!

Love these shoes. They can be worn without my orthotics and lots of toe room , yay ! The padding on ankle area is wonderful . I am grateful I found them . Now I personally could use a bit more stability but I'm not complaining:) Thanks !

I'm on my second pair of these. I have wide feet and over pronate, these are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever had. My first pair lasted me 2 years (which may have been pushing it) before my big toes popped out the top. So on to pair #2. I also loved the Halsa shoe, and I'm pretty devastated to see they don't make it any more! It really is ultimate gym shoe. My toes haven't completely gone through my first pair though, so hopefully I have more time before I'm forced to find something else.

I know a lot of reviews complain about the color choices, but I dig the black. It is rare to find an all black shoe so I hope this color choice remains! These were the first Road shoe from Topo that I have purchased and I really do like them. The fit is snug but not too tight and my toes have plenty of room. I excited to train more road miles in them later in the year when I start training for CIM. I have been otherwise wearing them for brief road workouts here and there savoring the shoe so I can wear them later. The cushion is perfect and the laces stay tied. Two features I love. I am a Topo Athletic ambassador, but my reviews are of my own opinion.

I purchased a pair of these over the weekend. I took them for a short 3 mile run this morning and I could not be more happy! 2 years ago, I purchased the Altra's due to needing a wide toe box. I was just 3 weeks from a 1/2 marathon. The first day I had them, I ran 11 miles with no issues but due to not taking the time to transition into them, I had problems fast. I ended up tearing my hamstring during the 1/2 (but I finished! :)) and have had issues with my hamstring since. I think the zero drop was just too much for me. The 5 mm drop seems to be perfect. Zero pain in the hammy this morning. No hot spots, plenty of room in the toe box and my hamstring felt great! I got the ice/red color and love it!
