Review on Topo Athletic Comfortable Lightweight Running by Aaron Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits like a glove, no break-in required

These shoes run big (otherwise I don't need to get bigger because I have enough room in my toes) but a size 9.5 fits perfectly whereas I usually wear a 10.5. I traded in a 10 for a half size smaller, a little worried I'm too small but very glad I did. I ran 9 miles on the trail for the first time and they were amazing - no blisters or hot spots and with ample cushioning. The slab was too hard to walk on and my toes were numb... no, bueno. That didn't happen with these - hooray! Finally, they feel good and are stable/supportive without being bulky. I have a problem with repetitive sprains and they seem to prevent both pronation and supination. I have high arches and threw away the treads as there would be enough support without them. I hope they last longer than the Ultras I replace - I have high hopes for the Vibram soles.

Pros
  • ALL-DAY COMFORT: Offering unparalleled grip, traction and durability from the leader in technical soles, our Vibram Megagrip outsole offers excellent traction on any surface, wet or dry.
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
