Comments about Ultrafly 3

The Ultraflys have a great fit and a moderate amount of cushioning for runs of any length. In addition they are fairly light and quick, making them my go-to training shoe for medium to longer runs. Great job Topo!

finally, a shoe that does not have something that bugs me.

Awesome shoes, my second pair. Love the toe box

Very comfortable running shoe. Definitely a different ride and fit than your standard running shoe. That's a good thing though. I have over 25 miles on them so far and am enjoying them. Plan to try them for a 10+ mile run next week. Maybe a bit firm for some.

Great for ace walking. Have been "dating" lots of shoes for a long time, these are It.

Perfect fit and feel. Love the roomy toe box.

I use these for my road days. The new model fits me perfect and the new colors make them even better. I was a little worried that the heal would slip, but I haven't had any issues. The foam is just right for me. I am 190 pounds so soft foam compresses too much and throws my form off, but I don't have that issue with these. I had issues with the previous model with too tight of lacing system over the bridge of my foot, but these don't have that issue either. To me these fit similar to the Terraventure which is my favorite trail shoe. Keep it up TOPO.

was an Altra guy all the way for 5 years. Tried out the UltraFly 3 even though i knew it was not zero drop. (have a pair of magnafly too). WOW, what a comfortable shoe and a low enough stack height as to not be a problem. It is now a favorite shoe and i am quite impressed with it. You do have to size up at least 1/2 (i didn't at first and paid the price!) i am a "seasoned" runner, over 45 years of it, 30 marathons and 2 ultras. looking forward to more good miles with Topo!

This is my third pair of ULTRAFLYS. They feel like they were made for me. I rotate through at least three pairs of running shoes and these have the most comfortable fit.

I love the fly lyte 3's simplicity and sleekness. I have ran everything from hard intervals to 2 hour plus runs in those shoes with good success. I have a long history of insertional Achilles issues, and intermediate drop shoes seem to be the sweet spot for me. I have found over time that I enjoy a bit more cushion and support for easy daily runs, particularly in mornings when I am stiffer and also on somewhat hilly road runs on " easy days". So this shoe ( Ultrafly 3) fits the bill nicely. The fit is great. Comfortable to walk in. I've run 10 flat miles at a general aerobic effort with great comfort, and I've run easy runs and a 4 mile tempo at about 60" slower than 5 k pace. Everything felt natural and smooth. For me, the shoe will work great for long runs, general runs, and steady/ medium runs. (5 k pace is usually 550- 6/ mile: 7 minute- 715 felt good). Lastly, I regularly toy with the drop in my shoes by sometimes using 2-3 mm heel lifts ( and sometimes not) depending on how my heel feels. Shoe fits great either way. I have a large haglunds deformity/ chronic Achilles enlargement, and the heel counter has been fine. ( heel collar is slanted, versus vertical, but it doesn't hook in toward the Achilles as some shoes do, and the padding at the Achilles is a nice amount: a bit, but not overkill). As far as the stability components: I typically run in neutral shoes and am perfectly comfortable so far.
