love these shoes.

I love these shoes. I switched to Altra Lone Peak and do like the zero drop, but I needed slightly more cushion for walking on sidewalks/roads and didn't like the other road cushioned Altra shoes I tried. These are not zero, but still low drop, are very comfortable and still have the wide toe box. I had been looking for another brand that offered the wider toe box and here it is!

Phantom 3 Do not fit with costum orthodics.
Dempsy11 months ago
Phantom 3 do not fit using custom orthodics. Phantom 2 worked just fine with orthodics. Phantom 3 design was changed. There is less height through the foot box. Lace area dug into my foot severely. I even put think bandages on my foot to compensate. Topo....put the phantoms back to the Phantom 2 design please!!

These shoes were made for me!
6 months ago
I'm not a runner, but bought these shoes to replace some HOKA Speedgoats. I wanted something not so ramped up as the HOKAs that I could wear to the gym for weight training and cardio, and also some walking of 2 miles or so. I usually have a hard time finding a good fit - I have a wide forefoot (bunions) and a not-so-wide heel. These were perfect in my usual size and regular width. I usually have to add inserts, but I found the insoles of these to be enough for my use cases. They are easy to get on/off, and color neutral enough to go with most things. They are lightweight, perhaps not suitable for a lot of miles per day, but are great for my purposes.

Big ole Toe Box : )
4 months ago
When you mention the phrase "toe box" to anyone who isn't a runner, you get some weird looks. But if you, like me, have feet that spread generously as they near the toe, (I was a modern dancer for years), you can really appreciate a big, old, wide toe box. I'm a daily runner and proficient half-marathoner and the Phantom is working really well for me. It is the perfect shoe if you are looking for some cushion, a wide toe box, and a mid-range drop. I broke up with Altra's Torin for this shoe and my feet and calves are much happier now. The Torin's most recent re-design is flawed, I almost instantly wore a hole in the inside back of the heel, and they seem to have decreased the width of the shoe overall.

Love, love, love the wide toe box, but...
7 months ago
Love, love, love the wide toe box, but there is too much heel slip. Np matter how I laced the shoes I wore a spot in the insole at the heel in the first month. I added Engo Blister Tape (a little too late) and that really helped keep the shoes comfortable but it's not an ideal solution. If I'm being picky I'll also add that I have a high instep so the tongue doesn't always cover by foot under the laces - I can get it right with fiddling but I wish the shoe itself was a little taller across the instep. If this sounds like I don't like these shoes that's not so - they have nice arch support and are comfortable in a range of temoperatures. I will try another pair in this brand.

Finding a new shoe is tough when your favorite is no longer good enough. I bought these to replace my very worn out Hokas (Stinson ATR 6, which has been some redesigned and doesn’t fit the same) after trying a few different shoes. The toebox is roomier than my Hokas which I love. What I don't like: feet feel like they aren't getting air, even after short (1 mile) walks my feet feel a little sweaty. Also, the area for ball of the foot feels like it has no cushioning, unlike my Hokas. I'm keeping these because I can wear these in the office, the neutral color works well, and they are comfortable enough (and it means I dont need to buy flats too).

Love the toe box and the comfort!
1 year ago
love love love these shoes. I have been an Altra Lone Peak fan and still am, but found I sometimes needed a bit more cushioning and a little bit of drop. These are so comfortable with the wide toe box and a little springier... I've had only a few months and am not using them for long runs, so can't attest to hard wear long term but so far so good. MIght buy another pair !

Great shoes so far
9 months ago
So far they are extremely comfortable. After several weeks of wearing them they’re even better. They are the most comfortable walking shoes I’ve ever owned. I have purchased another pair of the same brand in a different color already. Very satisfied! I’ve recommended them to a number of friends.

Helps tremendously with Plantar issues
1 month ago
For some reason, topo shoes are very hard to find in the wild. I needed to try the phantom 3 on before buying. I have been wearing phantom 2 for a while and it completely fixed my plantar fasciitis. I have tried on many other comparable brands and topo is literally the ONLY shoe I can wear without PF pain. Before buying topo, I couldn’t walk half a mile in my old shoes, now I’m walking/running 7 miles a day and still training pain free. So far, the Phantom 3 feels exactly like the 2. Hopefully I get the same results. I do wish they would make a few other wild color options, but with PF, a functional shoe is a shoe.

I am a Trail Runner in Colorado and typically wesr the terreventure 4. It has been really difficult for me to find a comparable shoes for the road. This shoe has been perfect for me. I hate running road, but this has made the experience so much better.
