Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Magnifly 5

Road running, training for local races.

I hope Topo never changes the Magnifly as I can wear them right out the box for a long run with no issues! Sizing is perfect for me & fits my wide forefoot/narrow heel with no rubbing or blisters. Just the right bit of cushion for when I have to run on roads. #sweepstakes

I love the magnifly shoes. I am finding, though, in this latest iteration that the tongue is very stiff and causes some foot pain.

I was a huge fan of the Magnifly 3's and must have gone through at least 5 or 6 pairs. Was really disappointed with the 4's though as the fit didn't feel right and they just felt too soft and unresponsive. Got these expecting the same but was really pleasantly surprised. The zipfoam is a touch more firm (which I prefer) and feels less underfoot and this shoe has a nice rocker design to it which reminds me a lot of the ride on the 3's. Miles flowed effortlessly in this shoe on my first run and I had no trouble picking up the pace. As with my Cyclone 2's the fit feels a little bit long but not something that bothers me while running (the mag 3's ran a little shorter). It's nice to find a zero drop trainer that doesn't have a ridiculous stack height/overly-cushioned or isn't a barefoot shoe! Perfect!!!!!

The tongue and lacing system on these feel better than the Magnifly 4s, but otherwise, they feel just like the 4s, which is a bummer. The Magnifly 3s were the best fitting, most comfortable running shoe I have ever owned. I wish Topo would use the last from the 3s, the updates in materials that have been made on the 4s. Please go back to the 3s!
