Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Phantom 3

Just bought my first pair. I have bunions on both feet so most shoes fit too tight. And make it difficult to walk long distances. The phantom 3 has a wider toe box. That feels great while walking. Great arch support.

I think Topos are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I think I have bought at least 5 pairs and Topos are the only ones I wear. When they are on my feet they feel lightweight and extremely comfortable. I do buy a half size up. They are very roomy in the toe.

I purchased them while on vacation in Asheville, NC. They are super comfortable and light. They helped to heal my heel pain. Five stars!!!!

Topo shoes are the best running shoe brand on the market! #sweepstakes

most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I will only wear them from now forward. Thank you!

I originally bought them for work. I have wide feet and love the toe box. I liked them so much I bought a pair for walking.

I love them! I just wore them for a rail trail 100 miler and had zero issues, no blisters and my feet felt fresh!

I rotate my running shoes and love these so much I wear them every other run. The wide tie box and low drop feel amazing, and I appreciate the cushioning. I wear a size 7 street size and a size 8 in these (as I do with all of my running shoes). I've only had them a few weeks and cannot speak to their longevity, but they are lightweight and help with a midfoot strike. I cannot say enough good things about them. My only request is that you offer bright color combinations for women. We like fun shoes too!

This is my first pair of Topos and I love them. I usually run in Altras but was looking for something without a zero drop. Everything about these shoes works for me. The toe box is roomy, the mid-foot is supportive, the shoe hugs my foot, there is no heel slippage, the size is spot-on, the tongue is comfortable, and the laces are the perfect length and material. They are so comfortable!

Was looking for something to replace my old Altras and not happy they changed their foot bed.. Staff at Fleet Feet in Canton Ga suggest I try ToPo and in particular the Phantom 3. I am a convert. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Will be a return customer for sure.

I love the toe box and want to find regular non- sneaker shoe with even a fraction of the comfort- to wesr with skirts and dresses.

I have issues with foot pain, but since I have worn the topo shoes I have little to no pain. Frees me to walk faster and longer.

The shoe color and design is sophisticated and understated. Very comfortable with minimal break in time. So lightweight, yet good support.

I use my Topo Phantoms for my daily training runs. I love the roomy toe box, and the high cushion sole. Super comfy, but also durable.

Mostly for walking but I also wear them on the track once a week and they help protect my hip so well. I have hip impingement syndrome and these are the shoes that let me run!

Comfortable on pavement but work really well on dirt roads.

I use them for exercise...either walking 5 miles about 4 or 5 times per week or the elliptical several times per week. In the past few months I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis in my right foot, and the Topos have been such a great soothing relief to my heel pain. I usually wear a size 9 and that is what I initially ordered. However, I had to exchange them for a 9.5 and now they fit perfectly.

I really love this update. They feel light but have good cushion. A really great daily trainer. The heel cushion is a little thinner than on the 2 which gives me just a little extra length for my toes. Definitely moved a bit faster on my easy run than in my Phantom 2s. I wear an 8 or 8.5 in street shoes and wear 9 in all my Topos.

Love the new lightweight with recycled material My husband loved mine so much that he bought his own big pair

I have worn Hokas for over 10 years and started to have some issues with tendonitis and was advised to change shoes; the Phantom 3 has enough room for toes to spread and get big toe pushoff, the landing is cushy but I can still feel the road and so far the sole is holding up nicely. I always order 1/2 size larger for my orthotics and they run similar in size to other running shoes. They feel light enough to get me through 26.2 and to the beer tent! Great job Topo!

Plus: they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have severe arthritis and these stop the pain and allow me to do much more walking. Things I don't like: the tongue is a bit short and the laces have an issue of sometimes slipping under the tongue. The back of the shoe above the heel, is awkward and a strange height - neither here nor there. It always catches the foot and has a tendency t roll in. It should be higher to facilitate ease of wear. without sliding under. A higher rise to that section would be 100% ideal.

I have a huge genetic bunion at my left big toe joint and a stubborn ankle injury on the right side, so my feet are tough to accommodate. The bunion is so severe that my big toe overlaps the second toe, hammering it and causing pain points at the toe joints. My right foot tends to swell a bit from the ankle issue while running. And yet, on I run - so always on the lookout for a more accommodating running shoe especially in the toe area. I've enjoyed wearing Topo trail runners for years, but this was my first try of their road models. After reading running forums, I decided to try this model and ordered an 8.5 wide for extra room (I usually wear a 7.5-8). They are awesome. Super spacious in the problem toe areas, preventing painful pinching. But nice and snug around my narrow midfoot and heel to hold my feet in with proper lacing. I wish the soles had just a bit more tread - they can feel a little slippery when the road is wet. But overall, a really nice and thoughtfully designed model for a runner with a painful bunion and ankle issue. My only complaint: as with most companies, the wide models are only available in very boring neutral colors. We runners with wide toebox zones ( we have no control over them being wide!!) would just LOVE a wide model in some fun color options like everyone else gets to choose from. It's a wide open (pun intended) market for some shoe company to finally dominate - Topo should be it given their generous attention to those who need a wider toe box!! Please please consider it. Even one bright blue or green option would be so, so nice. Thank you for this bunion-loving model that keeps me comfortably running. #sweepstakes
