Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Ultrafly 5

So happy to upgrade from the magnify 5. I spend about 60-70hrs a week working in the restaurant and TOPOS keep me fresh. I love that the Ultrafly Is more of a support and stability shoe.

I have used these shoes for everything, daily walking 10-15,000 steps per day. low-mid level hikes, and even outside pickleball. My feet feel great, the support is great and of course I love the roomy toe box. Looking for a trail shoe next. Love Topo, use to be a Altra user, but I prefer your fit and quality. Keep up the great work.

I use my topos for walking and road running. They fit well, the tow box is awesome, and the drop is perfect for me. Very stabil but still enough cushion.

I am NOT a runner but we do a couple of Disney half marathons every year. I need stability against pronating, a wide toe box, and a low drop. Missing on any of that combo has resulted in injuries in the past. I thought I was going to half to alternate between Altras, barefoot shoes, or pain until I found these. First event was a 10k Saturday and a half marathon Sunday. My Topos performed like a champ. I'm hooked.

Love using them with and without socks. I don't run anymore, but loved the fit of my Topos so I use them now for walking, travel and lifestyle. So comfortable I don't even think about what's on my feet!

I have spent a lot of time in various shoes over the years and have finally been blown away to a whole new level. Topo has given me a feeling I hadn't thought possible. The perfect shoe. It's hard to describe until you put them on and get some miles behind you. But, do yourself a favor and try these shoes! #sweepstakes

Use them for daily/lifestyle as well. The Phantom 3 is a great shoe to trial and would have worked too. But similar cush with little less stack height and stability tipped the scale to these. Stability features low key, unobtrusive and work for me with one foot medium arch, the other noticeably flatter. Have Altra Escalante 4s too. Very nice but touch of rise, stability means Ultraflys will get used more. These are also accommodating foot pain, gout flare recovery and fascia soreness like issues so far. Time will tell. The grey is likely to be a dirt magnet for me. I'm ok with that but was still thinking of the black version for down the road. Only funk so far is the size of the sole voids front foot. Seem large for that area. Not sure if I'm feeling those because of my gate or my imagination. . Not a detractor even if, just something to feel out.

The Ultrafly 5 is an amazing daily trainer that I use in my rotation. It has light pronation support and the new update added 2mm of additional cushioning for even more comfort than the previous model. It has a responsive ride with a light midsole foam. The upper is very breathable with recycled materials. -5mm drop and just under 10oz in a size 9.

Best low budget running shoe as other brands are using in the upper $200.00 range.

Overall, the shoe fits true to size and is well made but the pair I received does appear to have an issue. The left shoe has some sort of slight bulge in the arch area that strains my foot and can be fairly uncomfortable at times. I thought perhaps it was something that may go away over time and that the shoe just needed a little breaking-in. However, I've had the shoes for about eight months now and the issue persists. I have been using them just as a pair to wear around, so I'm not doing a lot of walking or standing in them. If I was, I would opt to stop wearing them entirely. The right shoe feels fine and I think they would be relatively comfortable shoes if not for the defect on one of them.

I really like them but since I have a big foot for a women, they don't make my size and I forced to buy men's. I wish they made a size 12 in women's because the men's are wider than I want them to be. I would like them to fit a little snugger around my arch

I like the brand , my wide foot fits great . The fit is comfortable out of the box. I'm using this for a daily jog /walk on paved surface 5 miles , steep up hill and down plus flats. Lace lock is a must or down hill my foot slips. The inner sole is nice however after 25 miles its showing pressure points of wear and compression. The heel for me could use a little more cushion . The exterior fabric has never failed my like other brands . The bead around the ankle is comfortable , however in step motion there is a crease that separates from the sock and allows stuff like stones etc to fall in. The new tread design is so much better then the previous version , I hope the will last at least 100 miles. The previous version lasted me about 50 miles before the bottoms were trashed. Gets a bit expensive especially when the insoles need to be replaced somewhere in the life of the shoe . All my running, hiking and walking shoes are Topo. Love the fit, maybe better longevity and better pricing as for me they are a bit pricy. The Topo brand has helped my thru chin splints and a nasty case of planter fasciitis .

My only complaint is that one shoe squeaks with EVERY step. It is maddening. Otherwise they are so comfortable and my bunion no longer hurts

I miss Ultrafly 4's A LOT! These are not as comfortable, my feet ache more from standing alone.

I love my Terraventures and wanted to try the Ultrafly 5 for a little more cushioning. The Ultrafly in a wide size fit my foot like a glove and I really wanted to keep them but there was a weird bulge in the left arch that was just too uncomfortable. The right arch was fine. Unfortunately going to have to return them :(

I wanted to love these but they just don't do it. I came from running in the Brooks Adrenaline anywhere from 30-50 miles a week depending on the build. They felt okay at first but after a few months of them they caused my plantar fasciitis to flare up bad. The heel is slightly off compared to other shoes on the bottom of your foot, you will feel it when you put them on. The reason I know it's these shoes is because the day I switched back to Brooks my plantar fasciitis almost completely left.
