Review on 🏃 Topo Athletic Black Running Shoes for Enhanced Performance by Michael Adams

I bet I would ship them overseas and am very glad I did. I've loved the Merrell Bare Access and Trail glove lines for years, but recent changes in sizing and fit have completely ruined them for me. I tried a pair of Altra Escalante 2 hoping to find shoes with zero drop and a little more cushioning. I found the banana-shaped soles to be unnaturally curved and so soft that parts of my feet went numb as I walked. The ST-3s were the perfect balance. Naturally lined roomy toe box. More cushioning than the Bare Access but not as strong as the Escalante. In addition, they are very light. My only concern after a dozen or so runs is that the minimal amount of rubber on the outsole can cause the exposed parts of the midsole to wear out quickly. Otherwise very happy with them. I look forward to trying other models from Topo Athletics.
