Customer Reviews Topo Athletic ST-5

Was looking for something with more than a bare minimum of sole height like Zero Prio. This 14 mm stack height provided perfect amount of cushioning to comfortably walk on concrete without being too thick. However, arches felt too high and rigid and uncomfortable on my feet to walk in very long. Material durability was a concern, as I heard a slight tear taking them off once.

I have owned and worn until I couldn't wear them anymore some of the previous versions of the STs. Please, just rerelease the ST-2. Great shoe. ST-3 is not the 2, but pretty good. ST-4, no thank you. Threw them away. ST-5s, better than 4, and closer to the 2, but the arches are an uncomfortable lump, which makes them hard to love. A simple reissue of the ST-2, I'm willing to bet, would be met with great praise. You got this!

Almost perfect but aggressive arch ruins it. I could not wear them for more than 20 mins before the the arch support really dug into my foot. I had to return them.

After sales service is horrendous. I asked to exchange the shoes for a larger size and they made me pay for the return post, and then also requested I pay for the return postage costs, which is not what they're shipping and delivery policy states online. These shoes are poorly constructed and manufactured, and they don't use premium materials. I'll continue to search for a worthy replacement to Altra.

These are marketed as a "natural" and "minimalist" running shoe, yet they are anything but! I love the sole flexibility, the toe box, the stack height, and the comfortable foam but the "Ortholite Insole" seems to just be a euphemism for "giant uncomfortable piece of hard plastic unnecessarily wedged under your foot." I'm so angry, because these are the perfect shoe on paper! You simply can't find a running shoe with a zero drop stack of ~15mm. Way to completely ruin a running shoe, Topo Athletic!!

I could not even get my foot all the way in these shoes. I am super disappointed because I have worn Topos lots of times before. Sometimes I go with a wide just so they're extra roomy, but I have comfortably worn regular sizes of Magnifly and other styles in the past. Anyone who is looking for something akin to a barefoot shoe, as these claim to beI would not even bother trying these! :(

Why can't you guys offer this shoe in a men's size 7 or 7.5???
