I'm a long time runner with injuries and owie joints to match. I have depended on a competitive brand that is embarrassingly ugly to keep me running but despise putting those on my feet every day. These Topo's are super light with tons of support and cushion in just the right way. Absolutely beautiful and coordinate with our NorCal spring foliage! Love and will never go back to the embarrassingly ugly again!

I run a variety of trails in these shoes, and I'd say they are very versatile. I've worn them on loose rocky trails you find in central PA, hiked the presidential traverse in NH in these, cross country style grassy trails, dirt trails etc. and they work pretty well on most of the trails and c onditions. I ran an entire 100 miler in these shoes - Single pair, without having to change my shoes! From a fit perspective - Roomy toe box, midfoot are not tight which is important for me. Improvement wishlist - suggier heel, and LONGER shoe laces please! I continue to buy these are they truly perform well!

Wee, I really love my topo shoes. This is the 3rd pair I purchased. Walking 6miles every day and my feet feel great. I had to return 2 pair before I found what I like. Easy returns and quick delivery. 3 pair should hold me awhile.

I am super pleased with these shoes. I've worn them walking, hiking and for short runs on the trail. Felt like I'd always had them, no break in time and totally comfortable. Size fit true for me.

Out of the box comfortable. Perfect trail shoe. Love these shoes!!!

I have been so impressed with the customer service provided at Topo. I initially purchased the Terraventure 2, which I loved for its lower profile, but the material (like others noted) deteriorated very quickly. Topo replaced them immediately, but when it happened again to the second pair, they offered another replacement or 50% off of up to 3 other pairs. I am super pleased with my replacements and the material on these MTN Racers seem a lot more durable for the tough trail terrain here in Flagstaff! Thank you Topo for excellent customer service.

Love these running shoes!

This shoe may be the best trail shoe I've used. So the great topo fit is there. 5 mm drop is perfect as it really gives the Achilles a break compared to 0 drop. I feel like this shoe is more secure with downhills overall when compared to other wide shoes. The traction is very good. I have been on wet limestone and it did much better than other shoes I've used. It's really comfortable at easy paces and when running up/down fast. I have no doubt I would race 10-30 trail miles in this shoe. (I don't go beyond 50k but expect it would work great for longer efforts). Another thought, if you prefer high drop shoes (IE traditional 8-12 mm) but always wanted to try wider fits. This shoe still functions very nicely with 2mm heel lift. So that gives an option of 5-7mm drop.

The mountain racer is a dream on the road and on the trail. The wide toebox gives me plenty of room, there is just the right amount of cushion, and I could still feel the ground. Great job Topo!
