In reply to Ebw. I'm so glad they work for you! I wear my custom orthotics with them recently and they feel so good on my bad feet.

Based on your review, I bought a pair of Topos. Due to a bunion, I need a wide toe box, high arch and narrower heel. Usually I have to wear a sneaker made for men due to the foot size.

These shoes fit the bill. Plus there was no logo on the top to irritate my higher arched foot. I put in an Aetrex memory foam insert designed for high arches. This is the best sneaker for me to date. Thank you!

I bought a pair of these Topos & absolutely love them! Great support, comfortable toe box, secure fit. They check off all the boxes for me! I got them in the black, with blue trim. Sharp look too!

In reply to Cindy. Not quite as thick as the Hoka Bondi, but good cushioning from Ortholite footbed and zipfoam midsole (which is springier than EVA). I like the cushioning of the Bondi, but get a better fit in toe box and mid foot w the TOPO and find it easier for workouts w lateral movement. I haven't really worn it as a walking shoe.

How do these compare to Hoka Bondi 7 for cushioning? I too have RA and need a good cushioning shoe when walking.

Bought these and returned them. They were great for my toe box and heels so amazing to find a shoe that could accommodate my narrow heel and wide toes!!! However they pinched my instep. I wore them around the house and on one short walk. so i dont know if i could “break’ them in or not. I actually think they are a cool shoe just not for me. (sadly) but happy for the zappos return…

It sounds like these are running shoes. For Zumba and other classes, I need athletic shoes that can support lateral motion where my feet won’t get stuck. Does ToPo make a cross-trainer or only running shoes? For walking, how do these compare to Hoka’s, which I love for my bunion & big toe arthritis. Do the ToPo have removable soles? I have prescription orthotics. Thanks.

In reply to Linda. It's not necessarily a rocker sole, but it does not flex easily when I try to bend the forefoot back--sturdy and thick.

How is the sole? Like you I have RA with bunions and bunionettes. I’ve been told to wear shoes with a firm rocker sole.
