Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Vibe

These are easy to get in and out of so great for slipping on for a quick dog walk. Unfortunately, I had to return them because they were too small. I held them up to two other pairs of Topo that I have for running and tennis and (Ultrafly and Phantom) and they are 3/4" shorter. These run at least 1/2 size smaller than Topo's other shoes (or I got a mislabeled pair).

I got my size but should've went up half a size

Very unsatisfied with return ability. Ordered 2 pair and wanted to return one, but unable for came up that there was no such order. Attempted to contact your company but no response. Incorrect packing slip was in my order.

Recovering from plantar fasciitis due to bone spurs. After loving the first pair i bought a second in black, same size and the fit is completely different. Left heel slides around and feels unstable. Right foot feels snug so I stop and try to get left arch in correct position in she bed... Final sale purchase or would return these. I believe it is a defect. Not helping already swollen knees. Also, causing trouble with my gait. I expected a more secure heel bed.

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 have knee problems. The Topo brand of shoes helps me to lessen the pain. I'm not as satisfied with the slip ons and will like stick with the tie shoes for most of the time.

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

Not thrilled

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!

I purchased these to use as an indoor only "house" shoe. After just two weeks, the bottom rubber began separating.

Unfortunately I can't use them. The high arch hurts my feet and knees. This was a lesson for me to never buy shoes that can't be returned. I thought they would fit like my other Topos, which I love. I was so wrong.

Runs way small can't get them on to tight
