These shoes have been excellent for hiking. I purchased these as a lighter alternative to my hiking boots. I have used them on volcano hikes (dry/rocky/rough terrain), and waterfall hikes (wet/slippery/muddy) and they perform well in both. The sole is water resistant and removable. The shoes clean up well after getting very dirty. They are so comfortable and there was no “wear-in” time. I tried these on in store against similar Salomon and Altra shoes and picked these because of the wide toe box and comfortable fit.
I needed an alternative for my regular hiking boots for a trip to Morocco and Madeira in the heat of summer. A hiking friend suggested these trail runners because of the wide toe box and narrow heel, and I followed up at REI. The specialist at REI showed me these and alternates, let me try them all, and when I selected these from the options she let me know it was her favorite brand and confirmed that the shoes do run a bit large so I was comfortable with the smaller size that felt right on my feet. Took them for a hike yesterday in temperatures similar to those expected on my vacation and was very satisfied.
So far so good. I have a problem with shoes rubbing on the bottom of my ankle bone. So far these Topo shoes are comfortable and not causing that issue.
