Customer Reviews Topo Athletic ST-3

One pair for my indoor workout shoes at the gym, the second pair for outdoor walking. The most comfortable athletic shoes I've owned. Roomy are upfront for toes and good support all over!

I use these exclusively for running. They have a HUGE toe box (both width and length), so it took a lot of messing with the laces to fit right and not shift around while running. They seem to be designed more for casual everyday wear than anything athletic. I'll use them till they wear out but won't get another pair

So far I love this shoe. I wear it at work, im on my feet for 12 hours. My only fear is that it will not hold up for a long time. I wish I could machine wash them as well. But as far as comfort these are amazing 1 month into owning.

I have just purchased my third pair because they are so incredibly comfortable for my old feet when walking. However the black strips on the sole have begun to come off on both of my first pairs, had to glue them back for now......

Very comfortable and stable My only issue is the low heel cup. I feel like I need a little more shoe. Other than that these are perfect and my new go-to road shoe.

I love these shoes. Exactly what I was looking for. The only issue I've had with them so far is one if the tread on the bottom of the shoe is coming off. It should be fine with some glue! I love the shoes otherwise!

I love the way they fit and feel, however, the second time I wore them the right toe rubber started to pull away from the shoe. That's disappointing.

I like to run with 0 drop running shoes. Decided to try Topo brand. Fit is great. Wide toe box can't be beat. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they could use a little cushion. Instead of running, I wear them biking and they are perfect.

I love the New Balance Zant shoes, but they seemed to disappear from the face of the earth. Need a wide toe box, so thought I'd try Topos. The toe box is great, although the shoes look a little boxy. Kind of remind me of earth shoes from the early 70s. I like the low drop, and the shoes are nice and light. I will probably try some other models by this manufacturer. But in general, this is a pretty good running shoe.

Use it for running and walking; nice light feel.

I wore my S2's until they were disintegrating because of the unfavorable reviews on these S3's. These do fit differently than the S2's. They're tighter around the widest part of my foot because there's a strip of fabric that goes all the way across the top of the shoe. When I first tried them on I thought I'd have to send them back but after a quick 20min jog they started to feel looser and more comfortable. They're not quite as comfortable as the previous version but they are better looking. The S2's were 5-star for comfort and these are 4-star. They're still the best wide, 0-drop shoes I can find and I love that they're not super flashy like most running shoes. It makes them more versatile for lightweight travel and wearing to work at the hospital.

I wanted to love these shoes. They were perfect in the toe box but are too tight across the top of the foot. Definitely not for wide/splay feet. I want to love them but I can't wear them. I gave them to my daughter who had more narrow feet.

I loved the fit of the shoe and it was exactly what I was looking for except the seam at the outer forefoot has the "leather" strip that hits right at the widest part of my foot so I had to return and ended up with the FlyLight 3 *Topo note: the blucher seam that this review is referring to has a man-made TPU overlay.

I wanted to live these shoes, the seemed like the perfect pair for my wide front foot and narrow heel, and they were great for the first month or so of wear. But, now, I can't even wear them for half a day with out getting terrible pains in my knees and feet. Thinking this pain was from something else, I continued wearing these shoes until I noticed the front part of my foot slides around ALOT as I'm walking (heels stay put). Theres just too much side to side movement and a "tall" footbed, the ball of my foot and toes are just out there with no support. I even tried adjusting the laces, no help. I went back to my old shoes, and the pain is gone. I'm a steady size 6 lengthwise, a perfect thumbs width from the end, but these are just too wide in the front, so sad :(

I typically wear a 7.5 which is what I initially ordered in this shoe. It was definitely too small and exchanged for an 8 in red. The 8 still seemed a hair short but has not caused any problems over 400mi. I like the secure fit through the mid foot which gives me more confidence in technical terrain and on the down hill. I just ordered another pair in size 8, this time in green just so I could keep track of which shoes had more miles on them. Fit is completely different, the shoe is longer and wider, higher volume. Double checked the labeling in both shoes to be sure they are the same model and size. Cosmetics/materials are the same. What's up with that? Super frustrated. This would be my "go to" shoe and would probably recommend the shoe if I knew what size to get. Afraid to order another pair.

Super comfy but dirt and gravel gets in. These need gaiters.

The shoes are too narrow in the toe box. I wish you would be more consistent in the toe box shape and size amongst your shoes.

The width is perfect! My only issue is the outside ankle part of the shoe runs on the bottom of my ankles. Not a good fit there and causes problems. Can you design them with a lower ankle like the first pair I bought a couple of years ago. I'm back wearing them.

I run and walk in my Topos. I would like a little extra cushioning in the heel as my heels are sometimes sore after. Love the roominess in the toes and my arch feels supported.

I consistently fit into a women's 11 or a men's 9-9.5 in topo shoes. The MT3 in an 11 is WAY too small. No biggie, I just order a pair of 12s. They're ginormous. Apparently the women's 12s don't suffer from the running small issue! My husband has a pair of men's MT3s in a 9.5 that are smaller than the 12s. So if you have big women's feet like me, you may want to just try three men's MT3s. The shoes seem great otherwise! I think I'd love them if there was a size that fit like a normal topo women's 11. The blue and coral color is very pretty. It's a little brighter in person than the photos, which I like.

I liked my older TOPOs better than newer. What's changed?

I like the wide toe box and narrow heel but the shallow toebox causes pressure on my toes. In my most recent 50 K I injured three toenails with the shoes. I wish the toebox was a bit deeper up at the toes.

I hike 2 to 3 miles a day and the shoe on the wider foot is taking a long time to break in. The problem is the facing of the lace area, it is very stiff and irritating. 60 miles in and it is still annoying. They are otherwise comfortable and provide secure footing. I have debated returning them, but will probably keep them. I would probably not buy again. I would recommend them for average or moderately wide feet.

I'm an obese massage therapist. So, I'm on my feet all day. The uppers on these are super comfy, but the sole is a bit too firm for me. At the end of my workday, my body doesn't feel quite as well as it did with another brand's road shoe.
