Probably the best sneaker ive ever tried
Yes , I recommend this product
These are incredible looking and incredibly comfortable shoes. I mostly lift weights and run occasionally so i purchased these as every day, casual, gym, occasional job shoes and i am blown away. i have been using altras for years and these are the only shoe ive ever tried on that will make me reach for something else and if they came in all black or a color scheme more suited for every day use, i would use them even more. the pure white with grey accents is a gorgeous sneaker. constantly will get comments on them. im not sure why REI doesnt have more in stock or other colors? this sneaker is top tier, way better than hoka and probably better than altra too. probably the best sneaker ive ever tried next to the torin 7s and via olympus.

Great shoe, really light, very accommodating toe box without feeling loose or sloppy. Very breathable upper, and excellent underfoot feel/ cushioning. Highly recommend.

Bad Cushioning and Stability
No, I do not recommend this product
I bought these about 4 months ago and I am disappointed in their quality. The cushioning degraded quickly and then affected the stability of my feet causing them to over pronate. In turn the ankle/ foot pain was intolerable. The shoes were only used for distance walking so the soles had limited wear. I would not recommend these shoes.

Great shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
This is a great shoe for replacing my Altras. Altra has been getting bad reviews so I went with these. Exactly what I wanted in a shoe for walking and jogging. Very happy with them

Only lasted 25 miles.
No, I do not recommend this product
Very light and comfortable shoe, wide box and neutral yet the thin blue rubber sole came off after only 25 miles. Disappointed because they were very comfortable.

Amazing shoe!
Great shoes by Topo! Comfortable, wide toe box, extremely light, breathable, made with durable materials, and I think they look great! I'm using them for work as I'm on concrete all day so the extra padding is great! They are grippy on flat surfaces and work can be fast paced so the mobility is a huge plus. Topo hasn't let me down and continues to impress. When I first put them on I was immediately sold. The grip on the heel of this shoe is impressive almost feels custom fit.

Greats on race day and everyday
I love this shoe. It is incredibly light with a stiff cushioned feel. I have used it as my race shoe in 2 different olympic triathlons and as my daily trainer. I don't want to take it off. I planned for it to be my race/tempo shoe and that I would train in something else, but it has remained durable enough to be my workhorse shoe. On my right shoe the reinforcement has come

Feel cheap
No, I do not recommend this product
I had no experience with this brand but liked the wide toe and no drop. These were just too basic for me. I could feel the diffrent types of foam when I wanled in them and a hard lump on the interior or my foot.
