Good space in the toe box, hugs the ankle well and fits well. However, the pillow was too soft. Says zero camber but of course it feels like he has a camber. Maybe if I only weighed 120 pounds, but I don't. I had to send them back.

These are great shoes, they allow me to exercise comfortably which means I can be physically active for longer. Too bad I didn't discover them 10 years ago.

For example, a wide toe and a supportive insole. Much better foot support when running long distances (20+ miles). This kept my foot straighter instead of "tipping sideways" over the midsole like my Altra Escalantes.

They replaced my Magnify 2. When running in Magnify 2, the overall feel is the same. I really like the new upper, although I think the Magnifly 2 is more comfortable. For everyone who doesn't know. This is a direct competitor to the Escalante 2 and in my opinion they succeed. No sloppy feeling under acceleration, this shoe really locks down the midfoot and heel and allows the toes to splay. I have a wide foot so if you have narrow feet this may not be the case. Definitely not plush shoes. I…

I ordered shoes size 12.5 4E but received size 12.5 D which was ALSO HERE IN THE SOCK BOX. I suspect that the bottom of the forefoot tilts up HARDLY to remove socks, but this makes the shoe even more uncomfortable with a stiff feel. I hope the seller sends me the right size so I can update my opinion on how the shoe feels. I ordered the Magnify 3 because it was the only 12.5 inch 4E shoe available.

The Topo shoe line offers an alternative to the Altra with its wide toe box. I've had 2 pairs and destroyed both in less than 3 months (50km a month). I got 6 months from Merrill and 4 months from Altra Escalante. Much of the rapid wear and tear is caused by pronation, which deforms the floor and causes ankle pain after what could be considered a slump. The shoe is light and designed for a good run, but not strong enough for road runs of 5 miles or more.
