Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Fli-Lyte 5

Very disappointed with this edition of FlyLites. I have the previous edition (the 4) and loved them - they allowed me to run pain free with my Morton's neuroma. This new edition (the FlyLite 5) is narrower in the toe. I could feel pressure on both sides of my foot as soon as I put it on). The heel cup is also smaller, which gives the feeling of rolling in (forcing pronation). Bottom line, this is a disappointing shoe. I loved the old version, please bring back the old design - wide toe boxes are what you're known for!

I am currently recovering from a Tibial Plateau Fracture. I needed a shoe that would help in my recovery. I love the toe box & the stability of this shoe very much.

I buy every new color of Fli-Lite5 you make each season. They were recommended for me by my orthopedist to fit my foot and my orthotics. I actually like the new version better as it is easier to get an orthotic in and out. I wear the Fli-Lites all the time except when dressing up. (Since I wear them all the time I wish you would make some in one color - darker gray and navy for example - so they would look a little dressier than the colorful ones, which are cute but look a little strange with many of my non-sports outfits.)

Although I can appreciate the stacked platform of a lot of other shoes, some days I just need to feel the ground below me a little more. The Fli-Lyte are just that! These shoes are responsive, close(er) to the ground yet stable enough for me to go the distance. My legs want to fly in these shoes and I love every mile when I'm wearing them. So glad I found the Fli-Lyte 5s!!!

I used Topo Trail shoes MTN RACER 3 for a few months because I mainly run trails, but started running with the Fli-Lyte on roads with a group. The fit is perfct for me : space in toe box but good hold at back. They are light and I run longer and faster than in a long while. I now have a white pair for road, and a black pair to take to not too bumpy trails: great for both. I wear my orthopedic soles in and it works well.

I wear these Topo shoes every day all day long. They are the only shoes that help my knee feel better and allow me to walk. I have worn only these shoes for at least 5 years now and never want to have anything else.

I need a wide toe box and am always searching for the right balance of cushion (not too much, not too little). These shoes are a perfect fit for me - comfortable, supportive, lots of room for my toes while hugging my mid foot, and good for walking and standing. I'm thrilled to have found "my" shoe after lots of searching with Brooks, Hoka, and Altra.

I wear them for everyday. I had been having trouble with my fallen arches and sore ankle, I love to go barefoot, that's sadly a no-no with my foot issues. I can wear these all day with no discomfort, they are roomy and feel good. I have a narrow foot and heel, these are perfect. My podiatrist recommended them.

Roomy toe box, ever so slight drop, and just the right amount of cushion.

I have worn Altras in the past, but seems like their design has changed, so I had to change brands. I can wear these all day and they feel great. I did order a 1/2 size bigger than I usually wear. I have bunions and some other feet problems, but the wide toe box and zero drop feel good.

I have used low drop low profile shoes for many yrs and recently switched to topo since my previous faves got turned into marshmallow shoes. These are lightweight and love the low stack height. Love this brand, glad I found them.

I have been wearing Fli-lytes since 2015 and will never switch! I love the wide toe box, it leaves plenty of room and I rarely have hot spots or blister. I recommend this brand/shoe constantly!

I use my shoes as an everyday shoe. I walk and workout in them. These were recommended by my podiatrist and I love them. I have had surgery for flat foot and wear an orthotic .I have a AA foot but with the orthotics these fit perfectly. I have also tried the Phantoms but just love the sleek look of the Fly Lyte. PLEASE give us some bright colors!

I had considerable pain in one foot. My orthopedic doctor said that shoes/sneakers with a wide toe box allow my toes to grip while walking, alleviating the pain. He recommended many brands, but Topo was the only brand that didn't cause pain in my foot. The pain I had been having ( caused by a bone spur ) eventually went away; allowing me to walk, comfortably. Topo brand sneakers are the only brand that I will buy. #sweepstakes

These Topos fit as if custom for my feet. Heel is perfect. I have high arches; arch support is great without orthotic.

Power walking and work.

After 2.5 years of plantar fasciitis, Baxter neuropathy, cortisone injections and a recent fasciotomy I have ditched the Hokas and Brooks as well as custom orthotics for this shoe. I can wear these all day long with no orthotics and have no pain in my feet. I have a very high arch but it feels supported. Just purchased a 2nd pair and hope they are available for a long time. Would love in a Navy blue!

I use my Topos to walk on paths and streets around town. I love the roomy toe box. I'm on my fourth pair of Topos. Love these comfy shoes.

I have mid foot arthritis, the design of the shoe lessens the pressure. It means I can walk comfortably all day. #sweepstakes
