Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Magnifly 5

Finally, the perfect running shoe has been invented! The zero drop allows your posture to be as nature intended it to be. Elevating the heel, as most shoes do, changes the angle of every joint in your body, causing stress, increased pressure on the balls of the feet, and an unnatural gait. The amount of cushioning in the Magnify 5 provides the right amount of shock absorption for when running, or even just walking, on paved surfaces. The wide toe box allows your feet to splay instead of cramping your toes together into a point, which is ridiculous, if you think about it. If you look at the shape of most shoes, they do not match the shape of the foot. Topo nailed it with the Magnify 5!

I’ve just put them on, but they feel very good. I had to go half a size smaller because of availability and it actually feels good. I wear orthotics so that’s always a challenge.

Nice toe box.

Only marking the style down because it’s just too light of a color for my liking. I was hoping it would come a little darker than it looks online but it’s very very light, almost white upper and peach details. I love the Topo fit but the color just didn’t work for me. I wish they had more color choices. I highly recommend you size up at least a half size. I ordered up a half size because I knew the brand seems to run small according to the Topo shoes I’ve bought previously.

For working out and jogging, I have been wearing Hoka shoes for a number of years. I have the Topo fly-lite 4 that I use as a street shoe and decided to try Topo for athletic purposes. I overpronate and need a wide toe box and after reading reviews I decided to try this particular model. Pro: very comfortable, plenty of room especially in the toe box, cushion insole. I like the way the shoe feels when I work out on the treadmill. They are light and my feet don't get too hot. I like the minimal heel when jogging. Con: The shoe doesn't provide good support when needed for balance and a firm stance for example when lifting weights. As I get older, I find my ability to balance gets more compromised and I need the assistance of a firmer soled shoe. The soft cushion insole doesn't provide sufficient firmness and my feet wobble. I also wore this shoe on a 5 mile walk and my feet/legs felt more fatigued than when I were athletic shoes that provide more firmness. Verdict: I like the shoe for some types of activity but not a go to shoe for all activities. I plan to insert my orthotics to see if this provides the firmness that I ultimately need when I am doing a mixed workout (treadmill/rower/weights).
