Topo Atmos
Спорт
Earlier this year, I tried my first Topo shoe, and I liked it. So when Topo asked if I’d like to try a new max cushion offering, I was excited to see what they could do. This is the Topo Atmos. And it’s time to take it for a run.

Topo recently became my new favorite shoe brand 🔥🔥 Topo has the "Altra" philosophy of wide comfy toe box following the foot shape, but the shoes are way lighter & the midsole is far more responsive. I currently own the Cyclone2 & the Specter, which is awesome!!
topo toebox is the one!, and their rubber outsole dont rub out like altras...
Thank you for this video, you’re one of the few influencers that I watch before purchasing any shoes. Please don’t stop this great work and value add you provide to the running community. These shoe companies should be paying you!

I've been using Topo for 5 years now. They are the best shoe for my whole body I have ever used. Thanx for the video my Running 🏃 Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Great to see Topo getting some❤ I’m a big fan of Alta and Topo- happy feet always 🏃🏻♀️Thanks 😊

Topo is making some good shoes. I’m excited for what’s next
Great review as always. Interesting comparison to the more v4. When I saw the stack of the topo I thought it would feel similar, but you did a great job describing the difference in stability feel which helps a lot.
I am so glad you agreed to review the Topo Atmos. I've been enjoying the Topo Cyclone 2 and was looking for an easy run / long run partner. It looks like I found it, thanks to your review!

It will be a very different experience, but a good complement
these sound intriguing .. topo coming up huge. they have had a smaller following .., but its growing now. keep up the great work TOPO
Really like Topo shoes. I have a mix of ASICS and Topo. But slowly going more towards Topo. ASICS does a good job with the foot shape especially at the 5th metatarsal
Never heard of this shoe until it was recommended by a buying guide recently. Really happy I found this awesome video by you to give details about it- great stuff!

Def need to get into the TOPO line up soon!
Commenting before I watch this rn - I hope it’s good because I ordered it last night! I’m getting sensitive to these tiny ass toe boxes in a lot of shoes! Couldn’t even make the 1080v13 work for me.
Thx Mike. In your intro, you mentioned the Topo Cyclone 2. According to sources from TRE, Topo is coming out with a Topo Spectre 2, which will be a higher-stack, yet lightweight, non-plated racing shoe. I look forward to your review of that shoe, if it happens. Cheers

I'm a big Topo fan. I wish they would send more of there shoes to Australia. We still haven't seen Cyclone 2, Phantom 3, so hopefully we see this one.

Bought the Cyclone 2s based off of your review and love them! Since then, I bought the Phantom 3s as my daily trainers and will get the Atoms for my long/recovery run!! Look forward to seeing if they will drop a marathon shoe soon! Love your content!!!

Topo just announced a second version of the Specter to be released mid 2024. It will have a full pebax outsole just like the Cyclone 2, but with a much higher stack height. I guess the Specter 2 will be their marathon shoe.
You can kind of tell from the low number of comments that Topo is still struggling to make its mark in the shoemmunity. But maybe this means I'll be able to score an incredible deal on a pair some day.
Currently running in the Atmos and the Altra Via Olympus 2. The Olympus 2 is zero-drop and a tad heavier than the Atmos, but underfoot these shoes feel so similar it's uncanny (to me, anyway). Both great shoes!

Great review! I’ve been curious about this shoe. I adore my Cyclones for workouts and racing under 10K (nailed a 5K PB in them). I’ve also got a pair of Specters that I’ve been less enthused about. I’m not quite sure where or how they fit into my current rotation. They seem to be perfect for strides, but too stiff for daily runs and easier efforts. Not a racer either. Merely ok for longer efforts. Glad to hear the Atmos isn’t stiff, but at that price point I’m tempted to wait for the Triumph 22 to drop in the spring.
Clifton9 everyday trainer,i have topo ultraventure 3 trail,its pretty good,i see you ran on some dirt or tra8l with the atmos,traction? Wet slippery? Concrete wet? Anyway im not going to knock to many shoes cuz todaybwe are all spoiled most shoes are pretty good nowadays, im 62 so ibran in blocks back in the day haha,i lean more towards cushioned shoes with a little pop ,but if a lil heavier i dont care as long as at the end of my run im still good for tomorrow and not like oh s__t i need 2 days off to rest my shins,anyway thank you great info
Topo has some solid offerings out right now. The Cyclone 2 and Specter are pretty light for what they're doing, too. I'm going to have to go try them on and see how they feel on foot.

Does anyone know how high the arch is in the Topo Atmos? Topo arches tend to bother me a bit as a flat footed individual
I’m not a runner but a walker. I have flat feet and currently recovering from injuries related to flat feet. Based on the research I’ve done so far I think these would be a good sturdy supportive shoe for the problem I’m experiencing. What is your opinion on these as far as arch support, flat feet and just everyday walking? Thanks 😊

From a channel that is in love with the vaporfly, a super narrow mid foot shoe 🙄 narrow compared to the forefoot…sure. I have a wide ish foot and these are actually foot shaped. Roomy but not overly so in forefoot and well fitting through the arch and heel. I think they would feel pretty sloppy if the midfoot had much more room.
I wish they would make women’s size 5. Please let them know!

Im using Hoka Clifton 8 for my daily runs and fun runs. Now i frequently join 10km fun runs, currently my average time is about 1.5hours to finish, would you recommend other shoe to use to up my time or is the clifton 8 enough? If there are, can you recommend older models as they are cheaper in outlets. Thanks

Thoughts on how the Atmos compares to the Endorphin Shift? The stack heights and drops are similar but I’m guessing the Shift feels lighter, but stiffer and perhaps less stable?
@kofuzi

Atmos is softer and is not a stability shoe
@laurengranger8827
6 ай бұрын
I don’t think these two are comparable at all. Shift was much firmer and more stable with heavy reliance on the rocker to move forward. These are much softer without as much roll forward. Feel the totally different under foot both running and walking
How does this compare with the On CloudEclipse? Is the CloudEclipse more squishy?

You seem to be landing more mid foot rather than forefoot like I believe I usually see from you. Am I wrong? IF not, is there a reason for this? Thank you
Atmos offers wide, but not Cyclone 😞 Altra no longer wide, and fall apart fast 😞 Topo runners are 5mm drop 😞 Anyone know of a 0-Drop 4E foot-shaped pebax foam runner in 11/11.5 mens? lmk!
