Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Fli-Lyte 5

Very disappointed with this edition of FlyLites. I have the previous edition (the 4) and loved them - they allowed me to run pain free with my Morton's neuroma. This new edition (the FlyLite 5) is narrower in the toe. I could feel pressure on both sides of my foot as soon as I put it on). The heel cup is also smaller, which gives the feeling of rolling in (forcing pronation). Bottom line, this is a disappointing shoe. I loved the old version, please bring back the old design - wide toe boxes are what you're known for!

I am currently recovering from a Tibial Plateau Fracture. I needed a shoe that would help in my recovery. I love the toe box & the stability of this shoe very much.

I buy every new color of Fli-Lite5 you make each season. They were recommended for me by my orthopedist to fit my foot and my orthotics. I actually like the new version better as it is easier to get an orthotic in and out. I wear the Fli-Lites all the time except when dressing up. (Since I wear them all the time I wish you would make some in one color - darker gray and navy for example - so they would look a little dressier than the colorful ones, which are cute but look a little strange with many of my non-sports outfits.)

Although I can appreciate the stacked platform of a lot of other shoes, some days I just need to feel the ground below me a little more. The Fli-Lyte are just that! These shoes are responsive, close(er) to the ground yet stable enough for me to go the distance. My legs want to fly in these shoes and I love every mile when I'm wearing them. So glad I found the Fli-Lyte 5s!!!

I used Topo Trail shoes MTN RACER 3 for a few months because I mainly run trails, but started running with the Fli-Lyte on roads with a group. The fit is perfct for me : space in toe box but good hold at back. They are light and I run longer and faster than in a long while. I now have a white pair for road, and a black pair to take to not too bumpy trails: great for both. I wear my orthopedic soles in and it works well.

I wear these Topo shoes every day all day long. They are the only shoes that help my knee feel better and allow me to walk. I have worn only these shoes for at least 5 years now and never want to have anything else.

I need a wide toe box and am always searching for the right balance of cushion (not too much, not too little). These shoes are a perfect fit for me - comfortable, supportive, lots of room for my toes while hugging my mid foot, and good for walking and standing. I'm thrilled to have found "my" shoe after lots of searching with Brooks, Hoka, and Altra.

I wear them for everyday. I had been having trouble with my fallen arches and sore ankle, I love to go barefoot, that's sadly a no-no with my foot issues. I can wear these all day with no discomfort, they are roomy and feel good. I have a narrow foot and heel, these are perfect. My podiatrist recommended them.

Roomy toe box, ever so slight drop, and just the right amount of cushion.

I have worn Altras in the past, but seems like their design has changed, so I had to change brands. I can wear these all day and they feel great. I did order a 1/2 size bigger than I usually wear. I have bunions and some other feet problems, but the wide toe box and zero drop feel good.

I have used low drop low profile shoes for many yrs and recently switched to topo since my previous faves got turned into marshmallow shoes. These are lightweight and love the low stack height. Love this brand, glad I found them.

I have been wearing Fli-lytes since 2015 and will never switch! I love the wide toe box, it leaves plenty of room and I rarely have hot spots or blister. I recommend this brand/shoe constantly!

Thes are my new walking the dog shoes. Very comfortable and fit is good. #Sweepstakes

Love this shoe! This is my second pair of Topo's and I'm sold! The fit is amazing, roomy toe box, and they are cushiony but still very lightweight. This is my forever go-to shoe!

my biggest problem with finding a great pair of running shoes was that my toes were always so squished. these eliminated that problem immediately. they aren't too cushiony, which is what I wanted, but makes them better for low impact running. I had to go up a full size from what I originally ordered but the return process was easy and free!

Love the width and the nice feel

I use my topos for indoor sprinting on the treadmill and long runs outside. It's a versatile shoe that feels amazing, allows for a good strike and enables me to perform. I have been very pleased and now prefer this shoe over Altra road shoes now.

Love the wide toe box and minimal rise. They offer plenty of support without excessive padding and over design. Simple style equals simple comfort and support. I have capsulitis of the 2nd toe and wear these to work out and walk. They're the best shoe I've tried, and I've tried many. Topos are my go to shoe for everyday, work outs and hiking.

I bought the FlyLite 5 for the sole purpose of working out at the gym. I usually wear zero drop minimalist shoes but currently going through some ankle and foot issues. The Flylite 5 is the perfect transition. It gives me a bit more cushion but not so much that I can't feel the ground. The 3mm drop is honestly negligible but probably just enough to save my feet from fatigue. I have the black color in sz 9.5 and it fits true to size. Toes are happy.

I mostly use them for running, and also exercise walking or just when I need to move fast. I love the shape and also get lots of compliments on this cute design #sweepstakes

Love my Topos. I use them for walking. Also have the hiking boots and used them the first time hiking last week and loved then]m.
