Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Vibe

A friend of mine told me about some TOPO shoes she bought and how lightweight they were for summer. I checked them out on line and loved the look of these Recovery shoes as well as the roomy toe box they offered. After getting them, I replaced the provided insole with my orthotic and that gave me the support I needed. The mid foot holds my foot securely and my heel stays in place. I normally wear a narrow shoe and was fearful that these would be too loose. They fit perfectly with a sock. I love these shoes!!! Please consider making a tan color for everyday wear.

Oh man, where to begin? I had been dealing with running injuries on and off, and was in desperate need for good shoes. I ordered no less than 6 different shoes/models to try. I am someone who needs a little bit of stability, so my options were limited. Everything was hurting my feet. One day I came across someone recommending Topo online and, having heard little of them, did some research. I ordered the Ultraflys and WOW, no foot pain, no calf pain, SO comfy, yet responsive. I love that the toebox is wide, yet the midfoot and heel are secure, which is not what I experienced with Hoka/Altra. The soles are definitely higher quality than Altra IMO. Altras seem too flimsy. Overall, these Ultraflys are perfect for me and my narrow heels/wide forefoot, and all my running ailments. I like that the drop is 5mm- not too high, but also not zero. I just can'y say enough good things about these. I get excited each time I put them on to run. It cradles my foot in that sweet zipfoam. Please never change this shoe! I even went ahead and purchased the trail version- the Ultraventure Pro- and love that one too!

This is my new spring/summer hiking and trail running shoe. This is my second pair of Topo shoes because I loved their waterproof hiking boot so much I decided these would be the perfect fit as well. I was right! I wore these on a very steep hike this weekend- they did great on the way up and the way down. Plenty of room in the toe box while fitting snug on my narrow heel. The laces stayed perfectly tied even without a double knot. Such a great shoe even with my flatter arches and previous plantar issues! Almost no breaking in needed!

Getting back to running after several months away. Out of the box, I thought they were stiff and too short (I'm not sure how to describe sizing.. felt half size too small, however...). However, I've put ~40 miles on them (yes, I know, just getting started) and they feel really nice. I thought the stiffness would translate into tired feet, but not yet. Longest run = 7 miles x 3 days in a row.

Great shoe. I've been looking for a marathon distance shoe that is more durable than the NB 1080v10's. I've tried the Brooks Ghost, Saucony Triumph 18's, Altra Torin 4.5 plush & 5, Altra Rivera's, & Saucony Speeds to no avail. This shoe is the perfect width & forms like a glove around my feet. My only qualm was at 10mi my R big toe began to go numb so I hope it doesn't end up being too much of a problem in the future.

I use these for walking, hiking and running around town. I need extra support and a wide toe box. This is perfect!

I love the lower heel to toe drop of 5mm. It creates a more natural running without putting as much strain on the calves as 0 drop shoes. The thick cushion gives a nice gliding sensation to my runs.

I love the roomy toe box that's shaped like a real foot. The cushioning and support are perfect for this neutral runner who needs a little support once in awhile. This is my first pair of Topos but it won't be my last!

I have always bought topos for running but bought this pair specifically for more support walking because I'm pregnant and that's peak exercise for me now. These have worked great, I feel comfortable and supported and can get my walks in. I also have toes that take up more room and the toe area in these provides it.

These are my first Topos. They were comfortable for running straight out of the box. They definitely helped relieve some minor aches and pains I have been having. Not to mention the fun bright colors! I love these all around!

I love these shoes. I have a narrow heel and wide toes . These shoes give great support, stability, and comfort all day.

I have knee problems and this is the best I ever worn! Comfortable as soon as I put them on.

I love these extraordinarily comfortable shoes. I have two colors, white and olive. The textured insole makes your feet feel revived, like a massage. The wide toe box is important for my feet. I did order up 1/2 size than my Magnifly shoes. The fit was perfect. If there were more colors (besides black), I'd buy a third pair!

My podiatrist introduced me to Topo road running shoes as I've been training for an Ironman and have been having some foot issues. I loved my running shoes, and felt a sense of freedom in my foot that I didn't know was possible. I work in a hospital and have been wearing clogs to work, which I had thought I liked until I got my running shoes and realized how much better my foot felt with a roomier toe box. Boy was I thrilled when I learned about these recovery shoes, which look professional enough to wear to work but are SO much more comfortable than my clogs. Thank you topo! These are amazing and I'm never going back to my old clogs again!

I wear these sneakers for a 4 mile moderate hike daily and sometimes for a 30 minute light jog

Ok I've now ordered my 4th pair in the last 8 months. Mind you I only tossed 3 pairs and they were worn down quickly. However, it's not the shoes. I run 30-45 miles per week and I own 10 different top brands of running shoes - I notice I reach for these the most. PLEASE DO NOT stop making these. Don't change a thing. Add more color options. I am on my 3rd pink one and went through the green one too.

I love this shoe brand for both trail and road runners.

I recently developed heel bone Spurs and walking became painful. The support and cushioning was very helpful.

Recently purchased these after a fitting at Fleet Feet. I can't believe how great they feel. I'm a former dancer with bad hammer toe (early onset arthritis) and frequent blisters under callouses etc. and with a wide foot in the toe box. This is the first pair I've had that didn't cause some sort of discomfort and I've tried a lot of brands. I walk 4-5 miles a day on small town pavement and trails and they have held up. Thrilled to have found these shoes. I'm here for a back up pair!

I've been looking for the "perfect shoe" for a long time. Pretty sure I've found it! I have 2 pairs now.

I love how light this shoe is.

Love the roomy toe box (fits with my CorrectToes). LOVE the back of the shoe as it does not rub against my ankle like most other athletics shoe. The back is more of a comfort fit which molds to your foot/ankle, it stretches a bit which is perfect. I LOVE these shoes!!!

These shoes were so comfortable right out of the box! I wore them around the house for the first day and did not want to take them off. They were super comfy running the next day as well. Good for slow-moderate paced runs - would not want these for a speed workout or temp run.

I wanted to say that Topo should carry size 10.5 for women! This is a quality shoe and they should be available in that size. You're cutting out alot of customers...I fit in to a size 10 but if I wanted to wear thick socks, I couldn't, Also wanted to comment on the nice fit and finish of the shoe. Very well made.

Love the tread, love the ripstop fabric, love the tongue that is attached! I switched from Salomon speedcross and am so happy I did!
