Our Promise
Our Core Pillars
We believe in making exceptional shoes that help bring out your natural stride – in running and in life. We exhibit this through a commitment to quality, both in product and in our daily actions that impact our world.
Today, our company is small, but that doesn’t hinder our commitment to create positive change, every day, in small but meaningful ways:
I choose Topo because not only do I know they genuinely and specifically build their shoes for athletes but when I put them on and go for a run I feel they personally built them for me! So much thought and effort goes into creating a Topo shoe and it shows especially with having a wider toe box, lower heel drop, rock plate, and most of all quality and comfort! I love Topo and their “move better naturally”approach and they have helped me reach the next level!
I was the runner that fought running related injuries constantly but when I switched to Topo Athletic, all of that stopped. Topo has helped me be more in tune with my movement. Wearing them means always trusting where my feet land because I know they have the responsiveness, grip, and stability I need.
These low-drop beauties were stable, responsive and allowed my foot and toes to splay naturally. With two thumbs up from my podiatrist, I hit the ground running in my Fli-Lytes and never looked back!
Developing an efficient running style was a focus for me when I started running distance. It took a long time to transition from a “normal” running shoe to something more natural, but I found that it has made me a better runner. It then became a challenge to find a shoe that would support a more natural running style but also offer some protection for those 100-mile races. So far, Topo is the most natural fit of any running shoe I’ve tried, they’re lightweight but give my feet a level of protection on rocky trails whilst still giving me the ground feel and feedback I need.
When I take off my Topos after an ultra or just a hike, there’s that moment that I’m thankful for being injury free and capable of getting out and moving again. I have trouble parting with any of my shoes because they were there during it all: taking me up mountains, down long roads, and through the pain, sweat, and tears, that have made me a stronger and better person in life.
My running life before Topo Athletic was full of injuries and almost non-existent; if it was a common running injury – I had it. I had trialed so many different pairs of shoes and nothing was working. Then Topo came out with the original ST – the space that it gave my feet was clearly a benefit from the start. I trained in that shoe for 9 months until I competed in my first Ironman and ran the entire marathon in that simple, zero drop shoe. From then on, I was addicted to Topo.
