Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Rekovr 2

I need to go up a 1/2 size, except that size is currently not in stock. I loke the Rekovr 2 better than the "original Rekovr" as I could not tighten the straps over instep tight enough (in a size 9). This year's Rekovr 2 is snug IF you have a high instep. The reason that I am returning it that I need more length AND because the the heel rubbed on my achilles tendon. The heel area has a lining of band at top. IF I can get the next size I can insert a heel cup and should be fine!

Now that I FINALLY tried them out INSIDE house: the TOP of Back of shoe RUBS on my Achilles Tendon! Everything else was great: Nice firm Outer Sole; nice "squishy" Insole and SOFT wool. I have RED marks where the edge rubs on my heel & Achilles Tendon (FYI: I have "bony" heels). I also need to be careful BECAUSE I have had Achilles Tendonitis before. When you Step Down: When your heel strikes - the shoe seems to move and down a tiny bit In the heel area. OR.....maybe I am SINKING down into the nice Insole? So far all the adjustments I tried did not work (Tulis Thin Heel Cups; Dr Scholl's Heel Cups, Super thin micro fiber socks). But......in a few days - I will try ONE more time. For a Slipper (or "House Shoe") it seems way over the top to HAVE to put on a Podiatrist's "Oval" Donut Felt Pad: JUST to wear as a nice supportive slipper. You really just want to slide your feet INTO "House Shoes" without attaching Felt Pads EACH time!! Hope this info will help someone.

I ordered the topo rekovr 2 in an 8.5 (women’s). It is very comfortable but a little too long; my foot slides forward a bit. So I ordered an 8, which is too short and uncomfortably tight across my high arch. I will keep the larger size and wear a thin sock so I can benefit from the nice massaging benefit of the insole.

I am hoping that the 3rd Size will FIT!! (The 3rd time is supposed to be the CHARM). I can't believe that I will be ordering the SAME SIZE Rekovr 2 as my TOPO Hiking Boots!! I really like the soft & flexible fabric as a more "structured" slipper OR "House Shoe". Except I need to go up 1 more Half Size (for the 2nd TIME)! The heels rub a bit on my narrow heels & narrow achilles area. So....I need more room to put in Heel Cups (which sort of push my foot a bit Forward). PLUS: I think ? I might also want to swap out the nice cushy insole for an insole with more support (which ALSO will take up more room). These Rekovr 2 are advertised as shoes to wear barefoot. No clue how you would clean the wool....so having a tad more room will let me wear thin socks too. Try them IF you need a Wide Toe box & Narrow Heel.

I liked the look of these shoes and they were comfortable on the heel and arch. The toe box felt very short however. My toes were pressed up against the end pretty hard. I really hoped they would work because they seemed to have great arch support, but sadly I will be returning them.

I was unable to put my feet in these as the band over the top of my foot was so tight I couldn’t get the shoes on. A serious disappointment as I have 3 pair of this brand in other styles.
