Topo Athletic Men's Phantom 3 Comfortable Lightweight 5MM Drop Road Running Shoes, Athletic Shoes for Road Running

I wear these for walking and not as a daily trainer for running. The shoes are not especially plush, but still feel very comfortable. I prefer a shoe that doesn’t have too much of a rocker, and these work really well for walking and standing around. I like the medium-ish stack height and drop, which contrasts with some of the max stack and cushioned shoes out there. I’ve used them at the gym, and they are quite stable, but wouldn’t use them for heavy lifting or exercises where you jump from side to side. As usual, I really like the Topo fit: anatomical toe-box, and snug elsewhere. There is a bit of arch support, and this might not suit everyone. One more thing to note, these are simple, plain looking shoes, but I find them handsome, and great for casual daily wear.

Seems to be a nice shoe but one was assembled poorly. The body was glued into the footbed crooked, noticeable while looking down at the heal and from the back. This is the same reason I threw my Altra Peregrines away. Makes you look like you are walking with a turned ankle. I have a 10.5 Wide arriving in a few days, hope that pair is correct.EDIT: the 10.5W arrived and it feels much better in the toe box while still being snug enough in the heal and mid section

Love the wide toe box. Finally a shoe where my big toe doesn’t rub on the inside side of the toe box. I just wish the sole was more springy and the styling more bold and colorful. These are a fairly innocuous shoe, but as a guy I like bold pretty colors and hate how it seems shoes for guys are variations of grey, black, white, and blue. Give us some color for goodness sake! Also, I wish they’d make these shoes BREATHE some more. They seem to get sweaty pretty easily and if they just had more of a mesh over the toe box it would help them breathe better.

Love the fit. Relieves some toe pain that was getting worse from other shoes… I think the toe bed and heal design are helping immensely.

Great shoe for many foot issues. Excellent cushioning with extra wide toe box

Very comfortable shoes especially in the amount of toe room. Takes a little getting used to but the shoe still fits snugly at the heel and arch of the foot.

The Phantom 2 size 12 was the perfect shoe for me. So perfect I bought and wore out 3 pair. When the Phantom 2 was fazed out and replaced by the Phantom 3 was apprehensive about changes. As it turned out, Topo ruined a shoe that was perfect for me. The Phantom 3 size 12 was too small and the 12 1/2 too big. I’m done with Topo and will investigate other makers of wide toe box shoes.

I've had these for 2 months now and running in them 80k to 100k a week (50 to 60 miles). I run on them on paved roads.Pros:1. Great durability2. Supportive and stable3. Very roomy and plenty of horizontal and vertical spaceCons:1. The arch is VERY high and causes pain in my underfoot. The pain fades away after a couple miles when my foot has pounded the sole. But shoes are not supposed to be like these. I also have the Specter 2, and have the same feeling. So maybe my feet are not made for Topo shoes.Other:1. The sole is on the stiff side, and not plush. If you want a soft shoe, this is not the one.2.
