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 have a pair of Magnifly 2. As with many athletic shoes, the new improved version does not always mean better. This was the case for me with the 3. I do have 3 other pairs of Topos so will try to make do until I find a replacement worth keeping. Sorry Topo, as I do like your brand for walking. Good for managing my back pain.

Too much cushion. Feel clunky when walking. But then again these are for long runs.

If you have high arches and plantar fasciitis trouble I would w recommend transitioning to these slowly. 0 mm heel drop aggravated my arch. I went back to 3mm heel drop and did better. Will still use these as they are comfortable and I want to transition to 0mm heel drop. Happy running

First, these are great-looking shoes. The teal green and slight retro styling make them very eye-catching. They seem well-made and quite durable. I also love that Topo choose a wide toe box and zero drop fit, and that there aren't a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. I greatly prefer shoes that allow my feet to work according to design, without technical interventions. Rigidity and thickness of the sole are a matter of personal preference. For road running, I like mine moderately padded and moderately flexible. These are perfect in that area. I have two gripes with these shoes. First, there is too much padding in the arch near the forefoot. Feet don't expect to meet resistance in this area when running, so I find it interferes with my landings. Second, I find the up-angled toes (and contoured toe box) uncomfortable. The idea that the toe kick provides a slight boost when lifting off sounds great, but I find it just makes my toes lazy and numb. The upturned toe imitates the bend you get in your forefoot when wearing a heeled shoe, partly negating the value of the zero drop; it's not healthy to hold the toes in a backward flexed position like this. The contoured, concave toe box causes the toe box to feel narrower than it would if this part of the shoe was flat.

Cute shoes and seemed pretty comfortable. After only two 6 mile runs my legs, hips, IT bands, and lower back felt really sore. I am use to the zero drop shoes because I currently wear Altra so it wasn't the drop change, it was just this style for some reason. They felt ok on my feet, no sore spots or pain but every time I would put them on to just walk around, even my quads would start hurting. I have never had a pair of shoes do this so unfortunately have to send them back. Bummed because they are cute.

I found these to be a tad too narrow in the mid foot area and not enough cushioning for running on pavement. I purchased the Altra Torin 4 instead and I really like them.

I was trying to replace an older, wonderful Topo shoe, and this model proved to be too flexible and not supportive enough. It is probably a fine shoe, just not for my feet.

Took me awhile to figure out these were the reason for my foot pain by end of day. No heel padding like on Ultrafly 2 Bring back the 2 's so I can stock up

I am a weekend walker of neighborhood trails. I loved the fit and look of these shoes, but I've only had them for nine weeks and there are holes in the topline, as if I had freakishly protruding ankle bones rubbing against it. I'm really disappointed.

A friend recommended Topo for their wide toe box. While my neuroma did not flare up thanks to the toe box, I wound up returning these. I experienced cramping in my midfoot still trouble with plantar fasciitis. Also, after two days wearing them, the upper began separating from the sole on the inside of the right foot. Not what I'd hope for in brand new shoes. Luckily, the 30-day trial and customer service made returns easy. Would recommend these for someone else with fewer foot problems!

These are almost wide enough toe box for me, enough that I could make them work. However, the odd rocker on the sole makes me feel like I'm drunk.

This is my first zero drop pair of shoes. They felt great at first for walking and short runs. Now that I’m running longer distances and running on a treadmill my feet are killing me. I can barely walk after wearing these shoes. My feet hurt for several days.

The shoes were a miss. They felt a half size shorter and there wasn't a lot of cushion.

1) Sizing is off from my previous Magnifly. Had to go up a half size from my Magnifly 2/normal shoe size so it wouldn't push against my toes, which required an extra couple of weeks to wait for exchange process through mail. 2) Right shoe squeaks when walking. 3) Have worn shoes twice for indoor workouts. There is now a permanent crease in upper left shoe where my foot bends which makes it look permanently wet, as if I've sweated through the shoe. My Magnifly 2 gave me none of these issues. In my opinion this is not an improved shoe from the Magnifly 2.

Just didn't work for me. Did a regular ~5 mile road run (one time use) and now my hip has been in pain for about a month. Very little cushioning - you can feel the road through the shoe. I typically run in nike air zoom pegasus shoes. I can't find these on zappos anymore so I tried a new shoe based on a runners' website.
I'd also recommend:
