Topo Athletic

Phantom 3

Women's

Having Neuropathy in my feet and Plantar Fascia, it's challenging finding shoes. My first try of Topo several years ago didn't workout. But tried the Panthom 3 and found The Best shoe ever. Plenty room in toe box. Supportive but not where I feel the top if my foot tight. The arch is a perfect fit for my flat feet. Not too pronounced. Cushion is perfect. Not on high risers like Hoka which I don't like. Not sure what's different about this shoe but it's roomier and not squeezing my top foot instep area as others have. I tried the Wide 7 bc the older Topo yrs ago felt to tight. To my sunrise the 7 wide was way too big. My toes slide around the toe box. Re ordered the 7 regular and it fit perfect. I ordered another pair. The gray color is really nice looking. The black is nice as well. Got both. Wish more colors were available that I can wear daily. Please do NOT change anything about this model shoe. Just add more colors.

I needed a flat shoe with lots of cushion and a large toebox. I have back issues, arthritis, and neuropathy. Phantom 3 is wonderful--very cushy and snug at the back, roomy for my toes. The tongue is especially well designed and stays centered. You didn't add weird frills that usually just hurt. LOVE these shoes. Thank you! I'm going to buy extra pairs.

I have run in many, many Topo styles for years so naturally I've owned the first two Phantom models and had to purchase the 3's immediately. These are definitely the best model of Phantoms yet and, so far, they are my favorite Topos to be released since the Zephyr. I got my usual size 8.5 which is a half size up from my "regular shoes" to allow for swelling on long runs so they fit true to size. I mostly wear them for roads but I do run non-technical trails in them as well. They have a great toebox, plenty of instep space and a perfect drop. The heel box in the 3's is greatly improved from the thicker 2's and the overall shoe feels lighter. There is just enough cushioning to make a soft road run landing even for us heavy-heel-striking grandmothers but not too much cushion to make the legs work harder and hurt more. The only thing I personally would change would be to make the tongue a little thinner to sit flatter but the current design isn't an issue at all. These are a fantastic shoe and I hope this version sticks around for years to come. #sweepstakes
