Topo, the alternative to Altra

Anonymous runner · Jul 20, 2018

5/5

Overall

I love my Topo Athletic Magnifly shoes! I bought a pair in desperation after failing to find any Altra models that were comfortable and seemed durable. These fit the bill and how! I have put a lot of miles on these shoes and the soles are still holding up well (unlike Altra, whose sole erodes quickly). They have plenty of room in the toe box to accommodate and not irritate my neuroma, good anatomical shape, zero drop, and the price was right on Amazon. A+++
