Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Magnifly 4

I am a converted Topo Athletic wearer. I've been wearing another zero drop shoe for many years, but sometimes feel like my foot is floating. I don't experience this "floating" with my Magnifly 4. I have enough room in the toe box, but my midfoot and heel feel secure. The cushion is perfect; not too much, yet still responsive. I typically go up a full size for my runners and these were no different.

Lightweight and comfortable

Change nothing, very easy to wear.

I wear Topo Magnifly 4 for gym exercises, specifically: self propelled treadmill, weights, volleyball, & stationary bike. No aching feet. Usually a 9.5 on Brooks & a very snug 8 men's for Jordans, I followed customer service's advice for a 10 in topo. Foot measure jst below 26cm. The fit is perfect. A 10 in brands like aasics would be too large and floppy of a shoes. My foot is skinny/bony, and long. The ankle hokd is fitted; not as snug as the terraventure (which I appreciate!) #sweepstakes

I needed zero drop plus rigid sole b/c occasional arthritis/neuroma. I like that they're very light; cushioning is comfortable. The sole is not quite rigid enough but OK. Toe box is a little too big for me, although much better than Altras; I added an additional sole insert to keep my feet from sloshing around. I cannot run in these at all - no spring - so use only for city walking. I am buying a second pair for my mom who has a foot pain/painful callous on middle of forefoot.

I use my Topos for road running of various distances. I love the zero drop and support in arches. I wish they were lighter weight.

I ended up returning these because the 11 is just too small and was starting to rub my little toe. It's a shame because I LOVE this shoe and there's no 11.5 or 12 in the purple (or any other color I can see - though now there's a sold out 12 in the blue color?). My feet are long and usually an 11 fits me perfectly but I could easily go up a size and be pleased. I got these because I'm tired of Altras but will never go back from shoes with a foot shaped toe box. :)

Themis shoe looks great and doesn't give the "wide toe box" look that I've had with other brands. The shoe feels great and breaths well!

I have been wearing Magnify shoes for years. Altras were always way to flimsy for me as I want a zero to 3mm drop shoe but need some ankle support so Topo shoes are great for me. I still gave a few pairs of 3s that still have life in them and the soles on them are in better shape than the soles of the 4s I bought last summer. I've had the 3s for over 3 years and was 30 lbs heavier when I bought them. The soles on the 4s are worn far more than the 3s despite less miles and weight.

I wanted to love these shoes but unfortunately they just didn't work for me. I've been wearing minimalist shoes for 10+ years so my feet are pretty wide and the "wide" toe box on these was not wide enough, specifically for my R foot. The toe box has too sharp of a slant & was causing bad rubbing on my pinky toe and 4th toe. I also felt like my foot in general felt too wide for these.

The Magnifly felt a whole lot more narrow to me than all other Topo models. I typically wear a 7.5 wide in standard brands, and a 7.5 in Topo. The 7.5 squeezed my left foot in a way that really hurt after 2 miles. I did contact customer service, and am exchanging for a half size bigger. No one else had same this, so I'm wondering if I just got a faulty pair. I compared the top view to the online photo and it doesn't even look like the same shoe - the online photo has the typical Topo Shape, but mine looked more like a Brooks or any other standard brand. Other than that, the shoe is very comfortable. It's a very cushioned zero drop, which is really nice for my arthritis knees while I'm getting back into running. Hoping the size issue is resolved, and I can keep them. Love the maybe color.

When comparing these to the 3s, they feel cushier and springier, which I consider a positive. I also really like the glass blue/lime colorway (please keep this color for the next version!) Overall though, I think these are a downgrade from the previous version. I went through 3 pairs of the Magnifly 3s, and own several other topo shoes. I ordered these in my usual size, and they feel strangely long and kind of sloppy. They don't move with my foot the same way as the 3s, and just feel a little 'disconnected' The 3s fit my foot perfectly, and I was in love at first wear. I can't say the same for these. Also, I' can't get a snug midfoot hug without having pain in the top of my foot, which I think has to do with the changes to the tongue. This adds to the sloppy and kind of shapeless feel. To me, these feel mediocre and like a completely different shoe than the 3s - not horrible, but far different from the shoe I LOVE. Please, please, please go back to the 3s. I just can't say enough about how much better they fit than the 4s. I will probably keep my 4s to wear to work, the gym, and around town, to help me get more use out of my 3s, as I anxiously await the 5s!

Feels good when my foot is in shoe, toe box roomy. I have a hight arch and I notice that my feet pronate more in this shoe than others. I like the colors and look but I'm not sold on the fit yet. Just a few runs in them and my knees feel stiffer after wearing these. For reference, I've worn the UltraFly for a year and have 2 pairs. I find that toe box to be even more spacious than these.

Fell in love with the Magnifly 3's but was disappointed by how quickly the soles wore out and disintegrated. Enjoying the soles being slightly more durable in the Magnifly 4's but have been suffering developing huge, painful blisters from the overly wide toe box- something I've never experienced up until the 4's. I have not changed shoes but have invested in a lot of blister prevention tape and bandages to wear during Boston this April. Perhaps the Magnifly 5 will be just right

These are so comfy except I'm in my heels with my toes in the air. If you also offered a bigger heel drop as another option I would so buy them, they are so cute too!
