Review on Men's Orange Topo Athletic Trail πŸƒ Running Shoes - Perfect for Athletic Endeavors by John Bones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My new favorite shoes

For reference, I'm not a runner or a weightlifter. I love to be active and my job requires me to excel in all fitness categories and this shoe helps me to do that. Other than that, I usually train 6 days a week and always train strength and running at the same time. Run 20-50 miles per week depending on my goals for the year. I also ride Ultra for fun. I have stone feet and I always have trouble finding the right shoes. But usually I come at 10-10.5. For this model I ordered 10.5, ran and worked in Altras: Esclaante 1.5(10)/2(size 10.5), Solstice(10), Kayenta,(10.5) Torin 4(10), Superior2 -4. (10-10.5) Topo: Magnification 2 (10), ultraFly 2 (10), MTN Racer (10), MT-3 (10.5) After years of trying, I've given up the idea of finding a great all-round -Shoe, often choose to buy multiple pairs for different occasions. The MT-3 changed my mind and I use it for pretty much everything from sprinting, running, lifting to HIIT training. I've never had a shoe that just disappeared off my feet while protecting and providing a decent energy return. I've had it for a week and a half now and started putting it on the ringer. Sprints, running on asphalt and running on easy trails. I rode it over 50km. I've also done various strength training, squats, deadlifts and some HIIT workouts. They did well in all categories. The rubber outsole looks intact and its lugs are not even noticeable when walking on asphalt or working out on rubber mats in the gym; I can move nimbly, jump onto boxes, the grip and supportive nature of the shoe fully supports me when squatting with significant weight. It holds up great on the track, even when it's wet. I've even submerged it in water and it loses moisture within minutes. I've found I want to run more than my program requires simply because my legs feel great running in them. , it's minor and I'll keep an eye on it, but to be honest other topos I've had had a similar separation which turned out to be cosmetic and didn't affect the shoes. I have ridden my Magnifly 2's for hundreds of miles and they are still great.

Pros
  • Laconic and stylish design
Cons
  • May cause blisters or discomfort during a pause period
