Review on πŸƒ Topo Athletic Black Running Shoes for Enhanced Performance by Glenn Rodgers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great iteration from a great company!

As a Topo Athletic Ambassador I have tested and reviewed MANY Topo shoes and to be honest the ST-2 (the previous version of this shoe) was at the bottom of the list. The ST-2 felt too soft and flexible for what I was looking for in a shoe of this weight class. Luckily Tony and company seem to listen to their customers as the ST-3 is a huge improvement over the ST-2. The new overlay is lighter and more breathable and provides more stiffness in the middle of the boot, making this shoe feel more nimble. The padded heel has been reinforced so, while retaining its functionality as it folds easily, it offers more security than the ST-2. At 7.3 ounces for men's size 9, the ST-3 isn't the lightest shoe in the segment, but at just 7.3 ounces, it's packed with cushioning. This shoe has become my favorite running shoe for anything under a half marathon!

Pros
  • Comfortable. Light. Fits as expected.
Cons
  • Limited sizes available
