Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Phantom 4

Wanted to love this shoe but had to return. The shoe has brilliant space in the toe box and a nice snug fit at the back of the ankle. But since it's designed to also be pretty secure at the instep, it's way too tight for a high arch and high instep foot. It's too bad, because those first 2 qualities are hard to find, and I thought we'd finally hit it. Also, shoe length didn't seem true to measured size. May have to try them in a full size up in case those work better. But had to move on to another shoe for now because we needed a pair right away.

This has just a too low heel drop. Not much cushion . Pricey for this & material doesn't seem it will last. Also, too tight in the mid foot. Lacing different didn't help.

I ordered these because I need a square toe box and under pronate shoe. However the right shoe was so pronated it cause my ankle and shins to be super sore as well pushed in on my small toe. I’ve had these before and they were fine. I’m hoping that these were just mis manufactured in some way. But Zappos is Great

To big all over

After wearing a short while my knee began to hurt. The mild rocker on this is just too much for me. I need a flatter bottom & more ground feel.. this style just isn't what I was looking for.

The Wide was 2 inches wide in the mid foot. Apparently, I’m in the minority for wanting a decent amount of space in my mid foot as well as my toes, not liking the whole hug the waist thing.

I am a nurse, on my feet all day. I have flat feet with overpronation and deal with plantar fasciitis. I have always been a big fan of the Brooks Ghosts, they have been my favorite shoe for years. However, the last few pairs seemed too snug in the toe bed, which was one of my reasons for trying Topos. I tried them without my orthotics, they were super comfortable right out of the box and required no break-in period. I honestly felt like they were some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever tried on. I’m a month into wearing them now. Two weeks ago I started wearing them with my orthotics because they were just not comfortable and now my ankles and plantar fasciitis hurt me more now after I get home from work than if I wear non-supportive sandals for the day.
