These are the best hiking shoes I've ever used. It combines the good qualities of Altra, Keen and Hoka in one shoe. It has a broad top like Altra and Keen and a pillow like Hoka. Has a drop of 5 mm, is light and very comfortable. I like Altras a lot, but not 0 drops. Also, I feel too many stones on the ground. Topo solves these problems. Brilliantly designed.
