Customer Reviews Topo Athletic ST-5

I've been wearing the Topo ST series now since 2019. This is my favorite one yet. The toe box is a bit roomier than the ST-4, which felt a little short for its size. The heel seems to have more padding and fits better. I have a very wide forefoot and narrow heel, so this is a great shoe for me. My only complaint is that the grey color really looks off-white. But on the whole, as someone who prefers a more minimalist shoe, this provides just the right amount of comfort without being too much shoe.

Over the last couple of years, I have ordered every brand of Shoe possible and return them until I bought this pair of shoes. I love them so much that I bought them in another color recently I left the barefoot feeling with just enough cushion and the wide toolbox has been extremely comfortable for my wide feet, if wearing socks that are a bit thick I would recommend going half a size up. I wear these shoes for Fitness classes, weight training, walking on the treadmill and most recently for Pickleball.

I have a wide forefoot with narrow rear foot so these are the only sneakers for me. I cross train, lift, walk my dog in these sneakers. My second pair of Topos. I my only complaint is you need to be very carful to open the tongue wide as pressure against the heel edge makes it bunch up quickly. Learned that the hard way with my first pair. I got a lump in the heel cup area. No jamming them on!

This pair of Topo's I wear casually and they are perfect. I also have 4 other pair I wear to gym and to run 8+ miles, several times a week. This brand is better than Hoka, On, Brooks, etc.

I really wanted to like these shoes. They are very lightweight and have a low stack and profile. Unfortunately, they seem to run a little small and have stiff arch support that makes it feel like I have something hard in that area of my shoe. At first, I thought they needed a little more extended break-in period than my other Topo shoes, but after running in them for over a month, they still hurt my arches. It's very disappointing, especially since the 30-trial run is over.

Last time I had and experience with shoes like this was 2001 with my first pair of Nike Free 3.0. Instant perfect EVERYTHING, this feeling has not happened since today when I put these on. Thank you Topo. In a world of too much cushion and bounce, this is soooo welcomed!.

I use these for everyday general wear and sometimes if I'm doing work/exercise around house I'll put these on instead of slippers because they are very comfortable and secure.

I had been wearing vibrams for the past 6 months to help strengthen my feet but really needed slightly more cushion. These deliver a barefoot feel with enough cushion without being too pillow-like. I cross train and run laps in my unfinished basement (so concrete floors). I appreciate that I can jump around without feeling like I'm going to slip sideways off a tall platform. I like the wide toebox so my toes have some room.

Walking at work..haven't ran in them yet. Disappointed the color states grey, but they are white. These will e hard to keep clean.

It's so hard to find shoes that are zero drop and have a wide toe box, but still have a little (but not too much) cushion. I had high hopes for this shoe, but was ultimately disappointed. As soon as I tried them on, the cushioning in the heel was uncomfortable. The shoe was tight (except in the toes) and the sole is wider than the shoe. There is an extra 1/2 inch on the back of the heel and I found myself tripping as I went down the steps as I kept hitting the heel on the step.

After one week of these I got rid of my Hokas altogether. I thought I'd want to switch back and forth, but these fit so well I only want to wear the Topos from now on. Love them!

I do cardio and weights at the gym. These are perfect for light running; sturdy enough for lifting and balance. They are not machine washable so keeping the grayish/white clean can be tough

When ST-3 was phased out I was heartbroken. I wasn't a fan of the ST-4 because they hurt my big toe, something about the stiff material just didn't work for me and took me a year before i wore them. ST-5 is perfect, easy fit, very comfortable, not a lot of cushion which works perfectly for me. I really like this shoe so far. Please don't phase this out.

I have lost count of how many pairs of Topo's I have bought, and these are perfect for everyday use. I can wear them to do just about anything, including going on a walk or run, but I am on my feet most of the day and these are fantastic for everyday. Plus they might be the best looking shoe Topo has put out.

Ok. It's an improvement on previous models. Better foam Better heel cup Closer to the ground
