Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Atmos

I love the Topo Ultraventure 3, but the Atmos seemed very tempting and I decided to give it a try. I’m a senior and walk 2-3 miles per day mostly on sidewalk, at about 15 minute pace. The Atmos has more cushioning and it’s a nice dense cushion, so it doesn’t mess with stability, despite the higher sole. I feel less stable in Hokas because the cushioning isn’t as firm. I wear an 8M street shoe, and ordered the Atmos (and Ultraventure) in size 8.5 M. Good wiggle room, and love the soft upper, wide toebox and narrow mid foot and heel. I bought the rose color and it looks more like a neutral peach to me. Not super bright. I wish the midsole wasn’t white, but something close to the shoe color. I hate white midsoles. My senior feet are still pretty neutral, with few issues, but Topo seems to have become my go-to brand now.

The shoes are great feeling and the material is quality as all my other Topos are; however, I think they are a bit too tall and cushy and since I’m not a runner, I should probably stick with phantoms. The two are very similar except for the extra build up of the sole height. I am sorry to say that I am going to have to return them :(

As a bedside RN with chronic plantar fasciitis and more recently metatarsalgia I am very picky about my shoes, and also have custom inserts. I am also very active and wanted to find shoes that would be great for work but also walking in my free time. I had worn Altra for many years but last pair was a little underwhelming. I have been wearing my tried-and-true Birkenstock Londons while looking for a more cushioned shoe & I am so glad I found Topos!!! The cushioning is very nice, seems to relieve my metatarsalgia, love the feeling of my arches being hugged, as well as the heel cup. I still have to wear my inserts for more robust arch support at work but the overall fit is much more supportive than my prior Altras, and the wide toe box feels luxurious! Planning on buying another pair to wear outside of work:)

I have been pretty much hobbled since having being diagnosed with neuroma and bunions. These shoes are outstanding! I am out hiking forest trails again and my feet feel great. Highly recommend. Would like to have another pair in blue.

Finally, foot-shaped shoes! Why are not all shoes foot-shaped? No wonder people in America and Europe have mangled feet by the time they're old (and sometimes by middle age). These were fantastic shoes! However, I had to return them, because the low drop (heel to toe height difference) made my ankle hurt. Also I have plantar fascitis, so I can't have zero-or-low-drop shoes; I need the slight heel in my athletic shoes. Too bad! Otherwise these are great shoes. For someone who doesn't have foot issues, they would be perfect.

As advertised this is a wide shoe. The toe box is extra roomy. This shoe is cushiony and beautifully made but overall, the shoe is just too big for my narrow heel. I tried many different insoles and socks in combination and just couldn't keep my foot from moving aroun.

Replacing the Topo Specter. The first run was cushioned but still springy. Love the Topo toe box and the 5mm drop. These are great for my knee and foot pain.

Love the toe box on this shoe! Wide enough to comfortably accommodate my bunions with room to spare. And very cushiony. Will be great for HIIT workouts.

I really wanted this shoe to work. Topos are so well made. This shoe has very comfortable cushioning. The heel and middle foot fit but that just isn't enough to stabilize my low volume foot in the very wide toe box. I tried multiple insoles to customize but it didn't stop me from falling over my feet. These shoes are for wide feet.

I was fitted for a cushion and neutral shoe at Fleet Feet store and for the last 5 years I wore Brooks Glycerin model. I was due for new pair of shoes and wanted to get the Topo model with the same specs that I was fitted for: cushion and neutral. After trying Topo Atmos I was like “where’s this been all my life?” It’s like love on the first sight. They are exactly as described: 1. roomy toe box (this was not the case with Glycerin) 2. True to the size 3. Comfortable out of the box 4. Excellent arch support (I can’t find this with any shoe except Birkenstocks) 5. Heel is nicely cupped which gives you some stability Other reviews might say it’s like a clown shoe due to the roomy toe box but for me comfort comes before looks because I have high arches and a high instep and I always struggle with shoes. This is a winner for me and I highly recommend at least trying it.
