Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Cyclone 2

Love the fit and lightness. Uniquely comfortable fit, makes running faster so easy

Support, comfortability, color choices, variety in offerings (but not too many to confuse).

I love these shoes. First time buyer. They are so comfortable and light weight. I will let you know after a few miles

I really like these shoes. I bought them for marathon race day and wore them for a few runs before. They are fast and light. I ran a half marathon pr during my marathon but it ended pretty badly- not due to the shoes though! Just got way too hot out! The shoes kept my feet comfortable and my knees pain free. I can't do anything over like a 28 mm stack or I start to get knee pain so if you have that issue I'd try these for race or fast day. Only issue I foresee is durability with the foam.

I used the them for my 14 mile long run, right out of the box. They were so light, but also cushioned. I bought these for a roomier toe box because I'd get blisters with other shoes. I had no blisters by the end of the run. My feet did not hurt. My heel felt supported and secure, not at all loose. The toe box is big, so perhaps that why I felt that the shoe ran slightly big. These felt better than my go-to Nike Pegasus(es) due to weight and also toe box, but felt natural like the Pegasus. Love these!

I use them at the gym and walking on the street. So far my bunions haven't been aggravated.

I honestly bought these shoes for running, but I love them so much that I ended up wearing them for every day activities! I walk, jog, run errands in them and wear them out for many casual activities. Lightweight and super comfortable - easy to pack for weekend trips!

I'm a die-hard Topo fan at this point and these have been such a welcome addition to my running shoe rotation. They're super breathable and lightweight, fit my wide toe box perfectly, very secure midfoot/heel, and make me feel like I can push on for miles even in summer heat and humidity. Love the energy return. I have a really hard time finding running shoes that work with my high arch/narrow heel/sesamoid problems and Topo consistently works for me, super happy with the Cyclone 2's.

This is my 4th pair of topo's but my first time buying this style. They feel lighter and have a more streamlined appearance. The fit and cushion are top notch-toe box gives plenty of room. Great for shorter, faster runs!

This shoe is very lightweight and just the right of responsiveness needed for my mid distances runs and quality sessions. #sweepstakes

I recently ordered these to go back to road running from trail. These shoes are so light and I prefer a less cushioned shoe and these shoes are just right. Currently using as trainers, but plan to use them for my fall road marathon. One disclaimer is that I have only run 10 mile long runs in them. But I believe they will be fine for longer distances when my plan calls for them. Additionally, the mesh is great for summer training in Texas!

Light, smooth, easy ride in a super comfy shoe. Just as good as the Cyclone 1. Just as good on a mid-week -1.5 hour run as it is on a fartlek workout. Only negative: limited color selection.

Plenty of cushion but with arch support, lightweight, love the wider toe box, my new favorite shoes

This was my first non-zero drop shoe I've worn in a 15 years. I was reluctant but I must say I love this shoe! I wore this shoe in Hawaii running roads(with a lot of vert) daily. Normally I end up with minor injuries running road elevation every day, but this year after two months of pounding the pavement, no problems! I think these shoes are to thank! Def a dry weather shoe and I look forward to a waterproof version.

I normally stick to zero drop shoes but decided to try these (it's getting so hard to find good zero drop shoes that aren't super minimal or too high stacked PLEASE Topo make more zero drop). I really love running in these though, they are just super fun, soooo lightweight and you really want to push the pace every time! The only bummer is after just 100 miles there is a large hole in the mesh/fabric where my bunion is on the side. I will attempt to sew it to get more miles out of them but if you have wider feet or bunions be warned the mesh is very thin! On a side note-I would LOVE to see a zero drop version of this shoe or a zero drop with the Pebax foam!

I have an exceptionally wide instep and really long toes; as a runner I continually struggle with finding shoes that are comfortable on my toes--topo athletic is it! My feet are so happy. I have the Atmos, Cyclone 2 and Phantom 3 models and love them all--long runs, tempo runs, average runs and just my walking-around shoes. Love them, love them, love them. The only thing that I think could be improved in all of them is a more secure heel cup--in all of these shoes, my heel could definitely stand to be more secure. Also--please make a carbon plate racing shoe and I will be first in line to purchase! A carbon shoe is the only thing missing from this fantastic lineup!

There are some shoes that get the job done, some shoes that you know aren't going to work, then there are some shoes that from the moment you put them on, it's going to be a fun run! The cyclone 2's do just that. They want to run! I run 40-50mi's a week split between trails and road. I'm primarily a trail runner but got talked into running a road marathon by a friend. Ran a fast 22mi in them, this weekend and can tell they're just fine for 26.2! Finally found a pair of road racers.

I use my new Topos for daily training. I love the additional cushion while still maintaining a lower drop. I have a wider midfoot and toward my toes so I love the roomy toe-box. I can run more without pain in my big toe. I have to be a little precise with the tightness of my laces to still be snug and not cut off circulation, but I played with it enough to find the right configuration for my lacing and the runs feel amazing! #sweepstakes

I am so excited about this shoe. I have been on two runs in them so far and they have both been super speedy (one of them was my fastest pace this year!) and it feels like I can move so naturally in these. It is so light, fits like a glove, and feels like the shoe is just a part of me. I am a long time Altra enthisiast, and I still love my Altras, but I will be busting out the Topo Cyclone 2 at least once a week for my speediest runs! I doubt I'll be able to top this shoe for speed workouts. Just a note on sizing: I always wear a women's 10 and ordered the same for these. When I very first tried them on, I was worried they were a bit too small, but it turns out they were just right. Now that I have taken them for a couple of runs, I realize you would not benefit from having too much extra space in this shoe.

The Topo Cyclones are my favorite road running shoes I've ever owned. They are light and minimal while still being cushioned enough to feel comfortable.

After my Zephyr's were discontinued, I was extremely worried. I had run on those for several years with no issues and didn't want to risk making a change. However, these are fantastic!! Not only do they provide my wide feet with room, they are so light and feel "springy" when I run. I've ran on them only 4 times now so I can't speak towards wear and tear but, so far they are better than I hoped!

Perfect right out of the box! I took them out for a 20+ mile run and they were light, responsive, and felt amazing. I'm slightly concerned about how the sole will last, but I'm loving them right now!
