  Comfort and Performance

  The most comfortable shoes for my bunions! Wide toe box, comfy shoe, bouncy and light. I’ll be wearing these for my marathon training!

  Great shoes - surprised!

  I was looking for a combination of the wide toe bed of an Altra combined with the Speed and rocker of the Adidas EVO SL and this did it! My Adidas is an 8, but I found both these and the Altras needed a 9 - 8-1/2 were too snug. These guys really keep my heel locked in but roomy in the toes. Seemingly great quality too.

  I used these shoes during

  06/14/26

  I used these shoes during long and slower runs, as well as intervals. They are lightweight and comfortable for daily running. The bigger toe box is great, even for narrower feet. My regular and snug size is a 7. 5 in women’s, I bought a 8. 5 to get more space, and they seem to run small. The heel is very prominent and can encourage heel striking, but I had no issues. They’re less stable than my previous running shoes, but perfect for speed work or interval training. I tried them for walking, but as previously mentioned, they are not too stable, so I would not wear them too often for activities like walking. I would repurchase if given the chance!

  So far so good! I had to play around with the laces, as my usual heel lock method was not comfortable with these.

  Not good for the people with Morton’s Neuroma

  05/22/26

  I received it today and did 10K. I recently bought Topo Phantom 4 and loved it with my Morton’s Neuroma. I decided to get this one for race days but I had so much pain and numbness on my toe. Even though the toebox is wide, the sole is thinner than Phantom 4. Therefore, it exacerbates the symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma. If you have Morton’s Neuroma, avoid this one but if you don’t, it is a nice shoe with its wide toebox and lightweight.

  Mes souliers préférés

  J'adore cette marque et ce modèle. Je les avais déjà en rose et comme ils ont beaucoup de kilométrage j'ai décidé d'en acheter une autre paire!

  The best shoes for sore feet!

  04/18/26

  I have painful feet due to nerve damage and fibromas. These shoes allow my feet to breathe and are super lightweight with a feeling of maximum cushioning. They have a wide toe box but aren’t extra wide. Some lightweight runners don’t have a heel drop and they don’t help my foot pain. These have a heel drop. I have narrow feet and usually take a 6 but size 6 was out of stock so I took a chance on a 6. 5 and they are fine. I’m going to continue to buy this brand. If I was able to run marathons and ultras again these would be a winning shoe.

  Comfortable and Responsive

  I love running in the Topo Specter 2. They feel light, smooth and springy, with plenty of cushion and roomy toe box that keeps my feet happy on longer runs.

  Lightweight and comfortable

  These shoes are very light and have great cushioning. Warning that they run small compared to the Topo Cyclone.

  Seems like a solid shoe but bland

  If you're diehard topo fan this might be the racing shoe for you. I love topo, cyclone is my fav shoe ever, but there are just way more exciting long run/racing shoes even for a wide footed/natural footwear fan like myself
