Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultrafly 5

I have a job that involves a lot of walking on hard floors, and I used to get the worst pain in the front of my feet from my shoes. The toe box of Topo has made my job so much more comfortable.

Me: 134 pound, heel-striking, pronator. Midsole: Wonderfully shock absorbing. Is right at the point of soft and firm. Pronation control: Excellent. Non-intrusive. Guides both medial and lateral movement. Description cites light correction. I would classify it as a bit stronger than that. Upper: Great fit. Very conforming for heel & mid-foot. Toes are very happy with all the space. Thick tongue allows tying tightly without hurting top of foot. Heel strike to toe-off transition: Smooth & quiet.

On my feet all day for work with an average of 20,000 steps daily and they've never let me down

The shoes were recommended by my Podiatrist. They accommodate my toe spacers. I wear my Topos to the gym and all day for work. They are not the most stylish shoes but that is not why I am wearing them.

I purchased this shoe, as I've had the low hikers before hand, and LOVE it. I normally have to purchase wide shoes but the Topo's are roomy enough to accommodate my need to protect my feet. I have Morton's Neuroma in both, these shoes are so comfortable, right out of the box, that I don't need arch supports or non-standard inserts. I wore them for a week all through Iceland this summer and only swapped them out for my Topo hiking shoes.

Most comfortable shoes I have purchased in years. They helped immensely with my planters faciitis injury/pain. The low drop has taken pressure off the heel for a more balanced ride.

Love these shoes, this is around my 10th pair. Plenty of room in the toe box and they don't squeeze my jacked up broken toe. #sweepstakes

Needed shoes with some stability/support and these feel comfortable. I've been using Altras for a couple of years and appreciate the wide toe box, but wanted to try something new. I usually wear 8.5 but seemed a little long so I sized down to an 8. Was looking for a shoe with some drop so 5mm seemed like a good middle ground. I like the tongue stays in the middle. Well designed shoe - keep up the good work!

Well made. Enough control to prevent my over pronation.

Love the secure midfoot, obviously wide toe box and the heel. I like the dual lock on the tongue as my other shoes have a habit of the tongue migrating to one side. Very comfy on long run days. Lightweight and solid. I bought this shoe for the high cushion and guidance (arch) as my ankle will hurt until a few miles with neutral shoes. My issue is that at about 150 miles, the left shoe has developed a squeak. It happens when I walk or really slow jog It starts instantly and doesn't stop.

The best think I can say is that I have 3 pairs of the same shore. One for indoor, one for outdoor and one spare.. I need a shoe with the right balance of support/stability and cushioning. This does the job.

I already have 150 miles on these and they are holding up great. I feel like I get a secure, efficient stride. The tread life is good so far and the foam is still highly responsive. #sweepstakes

These are great, comfortable, well Designed and rugged. I have worn them for casual dress, pickleball and hiking in gravel, Rocks to the river and road. Highly recommended!

Love 'em!

Good support, secure fit at the instep and my toes love their roomy toebox

I spent most of last year constantly getting bruised toes. I went through half a dozen other shoes w/no luck and had to stop running for all of Nov&Dec because every single one of my toes was bruised. Started out training in 2025 with the Ultrafly 5. I've slowed down (zone 2), reduced miles a little (20+/wk), and now run only in Topo Ultrafly5 on road. So far no bruised toes. Hallelujah! Really hopeful this is the cure. So glad I found them. Looking forward to trying more Topo stability shoes.

I use my topos mainly for walking. So far they are the only shoe that doesn't hurt my feet. If this keeps up i'll be buying more Topos!.

I'm getting back from injury and I found the perfect shoe for it. The stability things that the shoe has are just enough to keep my foot and ankle stable while being unobtrusive enough to bother me. It does feel plush enough to love anything from a 5k training run to 15k or so, anything more I might need a bit more cushioning. It's also good enough to pick up the pace and not feel too heavy. Now I wonder is there any stability shoe that might be a bit faster so I can do half's and full marathons on?

Love these shoes. Switched from regular buyer of Asic shoes.

These shoes have really helped alleviate foot pain I've experienced over the years. They fit my feet perfectly.

Super comfortable, love the wider toe box and the vibrant orange color.
