I am a new convert to Topo. My thanks to Steve at Sneakerama in Worcester MA for recommending them. Over many years I won't even bore you with how many types, styles and brands of shoes I have gone through trying to find "the shoe". I could fund a small army with the money I have spent on shoes t...

Topo seems have changed the fit of their shoes.
Topo Phantom2 are my go to walking shoes. That being said, size 10.5, which has been MY size for a number of years is generally in very short supply. I was finally able to order a pair size 10.5 several weeks ago. When they arrived I was terribly disappointed that the shoes were close to a full size...

I am a personal trainer so I wear them at work on my feet for 7 hours and also walk daily 4-5 miles
Love these
I've run in zero-drop shoes for a few years now due to some metatarsal problems. The quality of the shoes that I was running in went way downhill over the years - started out dreamy and became pretty awful. I was so happy to find some Topos at my local running store. They fit my feet like a glove from the second I put them on. The 5mm drop in the Phantom is tolerable for my metatarsals. Lucky for me that Topo also makes 3mm and zero drop shoes that fit just as well! I love these and am really hoping that newer versions of these shoes don't lose the magic that they've got now.
Roomy toe box, great support

Comments about Phantom 2
I was fit for this pair of Topos when I explained Nikes were too narrow and my toes go numb after long distances. They gave me an option with a "wide toe box" (which I didn't even know existed). It was also recommended to size up a full size. Normally I'm a 6.5 and I purchased as 7.5. These have been a game changer -- so comfortable. I don't even think about my feet during a run anymore. I ordered a second pair (this time size 7) to see if the full size up was the best fit strategy...and while the 7 is still comfortable, the full size up is where it's at. Love love love! #sweepstakes
I am on my second pair of Phantom 2 shoeand they are great!
Both pairs felt great right out of the box! I just popped my second pair on for the first time at Disney World with no break-in period and had zero discomfort over 4 days of constant walking and standing. The wide toe box is a blessing for my feet and the shoes are well cushioned with great support that offers a little bounce when you walk. I have never had any athletic shoes that I actually felt had a great fit and great comfort until I found the Phantom 2. Kudo's to Stone Bridge Running store in Dixon, IL for recommending these shoes! Topo, don't change a thing about these shoes…ever!
Really great shoe!
I absolutely love this shoe! I've exclusively worn Altras for the past 5 years, but with their prices exponentially increasing, the quality going downhill, and getting TERRIBLE plantar fasciitis, I was fed up and decided to try Topos. The heel lock is amazing, the cushion is firm but responsive, the quality is TOP NOTCH, and my plantar fasciitis started getting better almost immediately. I am never looking back.
Love the roomy toe box and the arch support

Comments about Phantom 2
This model is best for my needs as I deal with hallucinations rigidus accompanied by osteoarthritis in my big toe joint and plantar fasciitis. They feel really good even without additional orthotics. So far the best and the toe box is wide enough but a little less than the ultra fly 4 that I have.
The only shoes that don't hurt me.
I'm a runner with bunions (runions?). I was experiencing big toe joint pain while running in New Balances. My local running shop put me in the Topo Phantom 2, and I've never looked back. This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever run in. I love the low heel-to-toe drop. The insole is supportive and cushy on my arches. The heel feels secure without squeezing my ankle too tightly. The toe box is wide -- wider than Altra. This results in a very roomy forefoot. I can basically play piano with my toes, which I prefer in a foot-shaped shoe. I've tried other brands that make foot-shaped shoes and ended up with foot pain, even after adding some supportive insoles. The Phantom 2 is my perfect shoe. I hope Topo never discontinues nor changes anything about the design. It ain't broke - please DON'T fix it.
It feels great

Comments about Phantom 2
I love the overall fit of my Topos. One thing I would ask is to please bring back the vibrant colors from a few years ago: fuschia, purple, blue, etc. The color choices of gray, white or Miami Dolphins colors are so limited. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing!
