Men's Topo, Phantom 3 Running Shoe

width

but sent them back because they don't have them in wide sizes for women.

The Phantom 3's have a rather wide toe box, perhaps too wide (for me).

size

roomy

Unfortunately the toe-box of the Ghost, while relatively roomy, still hit my front toe —

restrictive

my feet felt squished in them and i didnt like the cushion as it gave me shin splints.

inexpensive

running shoe

Reconsider Topo running shoes and thank you for reading.

hard surface

the new phantom 3 is cushioned differnently which i love because walking on hard surfaces hurt my body, not with these shoes,  i wore them in the house for 2 days and then walked on the road 2 days a few miles each andno body or foot pain.

but i think i will do more hard surface walking in these when i cant get to the trails in my trail shoes also by topo.

choice

I just with it had an all black option, and looked a little cooler so I’d be happier to wear it about town and when when traveling.

There are plenty of high quality options available out there.

Additionally, Amazon has a fantastic "Try Before You Buy" option for Prime members.

comfortable

This shoe is very comfortable, and I’m keeping it.

Salomon Men's Speedcross 5 Trail Running Shoes

hiking

-Overtightening the lacing system in any one region can break a loop when the shoe flexes, rendering the shoe instantly a useless loose slipper (I used thin aluminum wire to secure it to my feet and complete the hike).

but salomon has graciously failed to inform us that their "cheapening for profits" process might kill a few hikers who don't.

The speedcross 5s begin to fall apart within one or two rock-heavy hikes.

First off - these are flexible soles and may not be best for long treks.

damage

Not a deal breaker by any means, please see photo of damage after 250 miles, it's minor just annoying after 3 weeks.

-The soles now detach, leaving the rubber impregnated scuff protection materials edge exposed to rocks and sticks.

wear fast

BUT.. these will wear out quickly on pavement and concrete.

wear

So don't wear them to go shopping or for fashion.

sole damage

Awesome for Trail Running
Have had these shoes for a few years now.

but walked a mile , my shines felt good, my hamstrings felt good, then starting jogging & my soles of my feet felt magical , lower back felt no discomfort, the faster I Ran more comfort I felt , I LOVE THIS RUNNING Shoe!

The soles will quickly become smooth on hard surfaces.

super comfortable,
I have had these shoes for about 3 weeks and I love them.

Versatility and function while being comfortable!

These shoes kept my feet dry, comfortable, and were beyond lightweight.

Things that I love about these shoes Fit : they fit great.

I do not have to worry about tightening the laces to get the right fit.

purchase

All in all, I WILL continue to buy these when they break down.

Missing These Shoes
I love these shoes and have bought several pairs over the years,

but was impressive enough to compel me to buy replacements.
