Great on pavement and in the office

Great shoe. Good stack height. Wide toe box. Replaced my altras as my daily shoes. Very comfortable with good support. Just purchased my 2nd pair for wearing to the office in addition to being my training shoe for runs

Comfortable with a tender sole

I find these shoes very comfortable. The toe box is roomy. The heel box seems to be a bit larger than just about any shoe I’ve tried. The rep recommended a runners lace. My only complaint is the sole material gets shredded by my bicycle pedals worse than any she I’ve ever owned. I bought them on sale but man $170 seems like a lot for a pair of running shoes. I hope they hold up for awhile.

Woman wearing men’s shoe

I may switch to me s topo running shoes Nice room ball of foot and toes but still stay secure on heel I do miss a bit more supporting feel at the arch I’m wondering will they hold up longer in cushioning than a woman’s shoe I’m only 130# but I walk a lot …time will tell

Take a chance

After buying the same shoes for a while, I thought I would try something different. Mainly because this brand offered a wider toe box - it delivered - plus the comfort is ideal

Great customer service and snazzy new kicks

I bought a pair of very expensive (Topo) sneakers. Customer service was great both in the shoe department and at the register. Tanya? Tonya? at the register was personable and helpful, as always. (I think she was on register at one of my previous visits.)

Instablity shoes!

I have fought with these shoes for six months and enough is enough! They are in the Goodwill box today. I read about them in a Wall Street Journal (Possibly NYT) about running shoe "Influencers", and their favorite shoes. That should have been my first indication to stay away. Well, I took the bait and put my $168.00 on the counter. I constantly feel as though I am going to fall backwards in them, and my hips start yelling at me after five minutes walking in them. The provide almost zero support and stability. I replaced them with five-year old Sauconys and Reeboks I had in the closet. I was looking for a comfortable walking shoe with a wider toe box. I got "bupkus" on the comfort and too much toe box, I am unable to drive my manual transmission vehicle with the shoes on. Granted, the vehicle has a narrow footwell. A bad choice on my part, and an expensive lesson when adding in the $78.00 inserts I bought a few days after the shoe purchase to try and improve the fit and feel. Live and learn. Topo is off the list.
