Love Topos which I've been wearing for 5 years. I switched from Altras because Topos have wider toe box and no Zero drop. Both better for my 71 yo active 9.5 women's feet:)

Very pleased with this shoe. Moved to a 5 mm because of plantar fasciitis concerns. I loved the toe box of Altra, so I am thrilled to find Topo. I wear them for walks; I am not a runner. Very lightweight and comfortable. Surprised how small they run.

The roomy toe box and cushioning makes them my favorite shoe. I can go for miles and never think about my feet because they are so comfortable. I searched for a long time and am so happy to find them.

I try to walk everyday but when I'm not walking, I wear them shopping. They are very comfortable on my feet.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable. The arch is very supportive and the sole is firm without being stiff. The material around the back of ankle is cushioned well but does not rub or aggravate that area like some shoes do. I have been a On-Cloud loyalist for years - no longer the case - It was time to move on, I wanted to try something new, this is now my go to shoe. Excellent choice.
* For fitting reference: my Clouds are 7.5, Taos shoes are 37, Birkenstock's are also 37 - hope that helped...

The roomy toe box and 5mm drop has saved my ability to run. After recovering from a foot injury, I found I couldn't wear shoes with normal-width toe boxes, but feared making the switch to zero drop shoes as I am injury prone. I will be purchasing another pair as these have become my everyday go-to shoes, walking shoes, and running shoes!

I have extremely wide feet and because of that I have precisely two options of shoes I can wear. On earth. It's frustrating. These are one of them - mostly because there isn't any solid structure across the toe box. (every other pair of topos I tried did and I returned most of them.) I wish these came in a trail version. Having said that, they are great, by far the best road shoes I have ever owned. However i did have to size up - I'm a 7.5 normally and got these in an 8.5,

Wow! My initial reaction was I need a pair in every color!! My major need in sneakers are a wide toe box and these have it! They are amazingly comfortable. I've been looking for the perfect sneaker for ages. Finally!

These fit a lot like my Ultrafly shoes, just with more cushioning. I usually wear these on my long runs. While I like the sole on some of the other Topo shows, like the cyclone, for me the uppers on this Phantom and on the Ultrafly are really the only shows I can run in for long distances without blisters. This shoe wasn't really marketed as a stability shoe, but it has a heel counter that looks similar to the Ultrafly, and it feels much more stable for me (someone with a lot of over pronation on one side) than most shoes.

VERY roomy toe box without being a wide width shoe. My feet are narrow to normal, but a very wide toe box area. Fit perfect. Additionally, just the right amount of spring and cushion. Perfect show. Will be ordering another pair for a back up when these ones wear out.

The Phantom 2 is my favorite Topos shoe. I've had surgery on my left foot and the roomy toe box and cushioning make it possible for me to walk in comfort. This is my second pair, that's how much I love them! They run small. I'm a 8 1/2 and take a 9 1/2 which fits perfectly.

As part of my recovery from a hip fracture, I upped the ante and went with the super cushy Phantom 2. I am super satisfied with the fit, the cushion and the smooth ride. Thanks to Topo Phantom 2 for helping me get back to the thing I love: running! I have recommended Topo to many of my running and walking friends as well as my doctor who is constantly on her feet. Thank you, Topo!

Fits perfect. Love the wide toe box but it feels like the material is thin.

Comfortable right out of the box, I'll likely get another pair in a different color when available.

These shoes are super comfortable for walking! I have very high arches and use “Sole” footbeds. Because of the wide toe box I ordered wide footbeds and they fit perfectly. My normal ones didn’t work. I don’t have wide feet or any significant foot problems. I like the low heel drop (5 mm) and the great cushion. Running shoes have too much heel drop for me. These look a little dorky but I don’t care. We’ll see how long they last. I’ve blown through 2 pair of On shoes, which don’t last long but I love their hiking boot.

These shoes are just plain comfortable. I switch up with another major brand, but I always get comments on my Topos.

I wanted to write a review that also explained my foot type since these reviews can be mixed because everyone’s feet are different.
I have a medium-high arch and have been told i always have to have two separate pairs of shoes. I do a lot of cross training so I haven’t been able to love workouts due to pain in my feet.
These are perfect for me-the fact it has a wider toe box helps me from my feet making holes in the sides.
They are perfect with a neutrally stable arch, so I can weight lift but also run a mile or two while wearing the same shoe.
I loved the fact i didn’t have to “break them
In.” I’m also pregnant and have been having some major struggles with my feet. I can wear these all day and because Of the heel-toe drop style I stay comfortable and steady on my feet.
