Only for racing loop
These shoes are for mountain racing. They are not for hiking. Only buy these if you know what a racer loop is. These shoes are meant for running forward at speed not for resting on your heels the forefoot is wide while the back heel is raised 5mm and the outsole only as wide your ankle. Your heel will slip if not tied correctly with a racer’s loop.
My 2nd pair -- love 'em!
I'm ordering this pair, a second pair, before I've worn out my first pair, because they're being discontinued and they're on sale. I have found my shoe and I hope I never wear out this second pair. And I have a long way to go before my first pair wears out. Until then, these will stay, safely, in my closet They are lightweight, my foot feels protected (especially my heel), they are only a 5 mm drop, they are a solid, well-built shoe, and they're comfortable. Comfortable, as in with cushioning, but not so much that you lose connection with the ground.
Not for me
Sadly, didn't work for me! I found the lacing set up to be a little funky, and like there wasn't a lot of lace. Made my arches hurt on uphills, and these were the first shoes I've worn where my feet felt overheated! The grip is awesome though and I did like the stack height. I can see why people dig these shoes, but just not for me.
Perfect fit
This is my 4th pair of Topo’s .once I put on my first pair, I knew I had found shoes like nothing I had worn before.. the toe box is a game changer. Great heel hold. Will be using these on the TMB in August.
comfort and control
first, the REI person was first to size me correctly, and she found the one that fit. and they are like the one thing that I don't want to fix while hiking!!!!
Great for day hikes
I don’t run much anymore - the knees say no - but my wife and I enjoy our day hikes on all kinds of terrain. I generally use trail-runners for these day hikes, and Topo Athletic is my go-to brand (they just fit my feet better than others). These are a stiffer, heavier, and more supportive than most of my other TA trail-runners, which means they are destined for the more gnarly trails. Because I am a long-time TA wearer, I can bet they will last me quite a long time.
Whenever I buy from them, I have problems with the
I haven't received it, and once again they put the wrong address.
