Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Phantom 3

To preface, I have a weird foot shape. I have a roughly size 11 foot with 3E width and a wide ball. Few, very few popular shoe brands make a shoe that can fit my foot. Topo is now one of those brands! I ordered a size 12 W (and, by golly, they sold out quick) and this is probably the best fit I've ever worn. The only thing that comes close is a similar brand (cough, A**** ) with the foot-shape design, but I'd much rather support these guys. Good stuff, Topo! Keep the wide sizes available.

Love the toe box! Plenty of room. My feet feel after running.

I bought these to replace my Specters and wow, what a great feel! The Specters were a great shoe and I thought they'd be hard to beat but these new Phantoms have done just that! Very comfortable and breathable and they have the perfect toe box. My local store only had the gray version in stock but once they get the blues ones in, I'm going to buy those as well. It's a great running shoe and everyday shoe.

Great update on the Phantom 2 shoes. The upper is improved and the wide toe box and firm foam is unchanged. I really enjoy these and will be wearing regularly on my training runs.

Still evaluating the support and comfort in the arches of my feel. At this time a little pressure one arch of right foot, going to give a little more wear time to see if these shoes are right for me.

I went to my LRS for new running shoes. I told the salesman I wanted a pair of shoes that locked down my narrow heel and midfoot but were wide in the forefoot. He said Topo and Altra were my two choices. The Phantom 3 fit my feet extremely well and had the right amount of cushion for my personal preference. It isn't highly cushioned or too firm. Just right. The only issue I have with the shoe is the tongue. There is a stiff overlay on top of the tongue. After running a few miles I feel it rubbing at the corners of the tongue. I haven't run over 5 miles in them but it may be an issue at longer distances. I don't know why the overlay covers so much of the tongue. I've looked at other shoes int he Topo lineup and in my closet and none of them have such extensive coverage. I've folded the corners over and taped them down. This seems to work walking but I haven't taken them for a run yet. I hope someone from Topo reads this review and considers reducing the overlay on the top of the tongue in the next version. My LRS only had the shoe in gray. Kind of boring. The laces were way too long so I replaced them with a shorter pair of red laces. Much sexier!

These are replacing my Hokas for the dog walks. I have switched all of my shoes feom Hoka to Topo.

They are holding up well. Ventilation is nice. They fit great. Enough cushion to negate impact without feeling like marshmallows. I like them.

He loves these shoes that we could only buy in Grey because he need the Wide sizing. 13 W. We could REALLY use them in your Black, but it doesn't come in WIDE sizes?!! Wahhhh!!!!

Finally a shoe with a wide toe box. I love the fit for a really wide foot at the toe that isnt sloppy in the heel.

Love the way these shoes fit and the generous toe box. The insoles are super comfortable and durable. I've had them for about 6 months now and don't feel they are breaking down at all in their cushioning. The tread is durable but also provides really good traction. The outer shoe is holding up well and does not have any wear other than scuffs from my use. The waterproofing is great but my only criticism is that they stopped making the non-waterproof version that breathes far better.

Light weight, comfortable, good construction. #sweepstakes

This is my eighth pair of Topos and they continue to impress. The toe box is roomy but my toes don't swim in them either, which I attribute to the heel and mid section of the keep conforming to my feet.

Out of the box great fit, and immediately high capability very stable and helps get up and down the hills. Much easier toebox is wonderful.

Trailventure 2 WP boots are just the thing for me. Bought them before taking a trip to Norway, wore them just about every day for weeks, never an issue. I need shoes with a wide toe box and thanks to Topo for thinking about how most human feet are actually built. Why more companies blow off the toe box is anybody's guess, but they decidedly don't get it. I've got two pairs of Topos now, love them both, wear them all the time. No regrets and I know where I'll be getting my next pair of shoes...

Every day shoes they are great. I have neuropathy from cemo treatment for cancer. My toes were affected and I have to have the wide toe box.

Love the phantoms. So good I bought two pairs - loving the orange.

I love these boots. I bought them for our trip to Iceland in the summer of 2024. I wore them not only for hiking, but all day usage. Walking around Reykjavik, no problem. The waterproof capabilities really came in handy. I wear them a lot for hiking in the states too. I highly recommend. I may buy the black pair too.

I have used these boots the last two years on hunting trips. They performed excellent. First time in 13 years of hunting with no foot pain. The waterproofing. Obviously is t as good as leather boots. Depending on the environment this is something I'll sacrifice for the comfort of these. Highly recommended.

Love these shoes. They are my go-to for easy miles. Quality seems superior to Altra in many ways, but like how these lock down on foot and plenty of room for toes. Rubber seems superior and they last awhile. Looking to get 500+ miles on these before replacing. Just got some Atmos the other day. See how those work. Exploring more with the brand. Don't understand why the brand's speed shoes aren't offered in size 15. Also very minimal color choices in that size. Would love to see more offered!
