Love at first run

I use Topos for runs 6km to 12km. I did not purchase Topo shoes for years because I had a pair that was more of a hard shell. Well the Fli Lytes are a delight and I'm going to try another pair on my next run. Immediate benefit of running in these shoes- my posture felt more upright and free tha...

Love the shoe, hate the new lacing system

After over a decade of serious running, my Fly-Lite 3s were in my top 3 of favorite shoes, ever. Version 4 has been a let-down so far. The toe-box is slightly narrower and my third and forth toe rub against the shoe fabric (I bought the same size as my 3s). I HATE the new lacing system. It doesn...

I was looking for a shoe to wear to F45 workout and that I could also wear on a run after the workout. These work great for both.

Love at first run

I use Topos for runs 6km to 12km. I did not purchase Topo shoes for years because I had a pair that was more of a hard shell. Well the Fli Lytes are a delight and I'm going to try another pair on my next run. Immediate benefit of running in these shoes- my posture felt more upright and free than it has in a long time. Also I went through several Altra shoes but I don't like 0mm. I feel when landing at heel strike like the heel goes below 0mm if too cushioned. I never buys shoes over 6mm drop. So Topos are amazing. The feel is amazing and the comfort level has really increased! Oh I also tried a cushioned pair of Hokas which caused problems for me months after wearing them. Too much cushion is not good for runners with good natural form. Cushion makes more work for other parts of the body and is not natural. Also what's with all the carbon plates? They seem to work but I think it changes our bodies a bit. We become accustomed to things like plates and it becomes harder ton in ow what good form is. Anyway thank you so much for making these shoes!!!! Topo is my new number one!!!!!

PureFlow replacement?

Submitted 5 months ago

By Lucy

From CA

I have been searching for a replacement fro my Brooks PureFlows for years; I only have one run on the Fli-Lyte 4, but they are the closest I've found so far. I previously tried the Phantom 2, but that was too cushioned for me for running. Those have become my 12 hour shift work shoes. The Fli Lyte 4 fits well and has the perfect amount of cushioning for me.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Best shoes I've ever owned

Comments about Fli-Lyte 4

I'm an active 55 year old woman and live in these shoes. Wear them for walking, aerobics, strength, and spin classes, and pickleball. They provide excellent stability that has eliminated knee and hip pain I often experienced with other shoes. Have recommended them to others who have had similar results.

This is the first time I bought Topos and I am very satisfied. I have a narrow heal, high arches and a fairly wide front foot. They fit like a dream and provide good arch support.

Why aren't all athletic shoes made like this?

Comments about Fli-Lyte 4

I ordered a size 9 originally because I have a pair of the Trail Runners in a 9 and that's my normal size. The Fli-Lyte 4 toe box is a slightly different shape, so these were just a bit too small. I ordered a 9.5, and that was perfect. I love topo athletic!
