To Our Valued Topo Customers,

At Topo Athletic, we take pride in delivering an exceptional customer experience and premium products.

We’ve been made aware of sites like toposhoessale.com, toposhoescanda.com, topoathleticitalia.com, and several others. Despite digitally copying our photography and language on their sites, these sites are not selling Topo products and such websites are in no way affiliated with Topo Athletic, our authorized retailers, or international distributors.

For US customers, our products are only sold at topoathletic.com or through authorized retailers listed our Dealer Locator, which can be found on our home page. For customers outside the US, you can find authorized international distributors here on our website and contact them directly if you are uncertain about the validity of a website or seller in your country.

If you are not sure or need additional information, please feel free to contact our customer support team at info@topoathletic.com or (888) 994-9750.
