Review: My Go-To Trail Runners: Durable, Comfy, and Stylish! - I’m a huge fan of Topo Athletic, having owned both the red and yellow pairs of the MTN Racer, and the MTN Racer 3 does not disappoint! After scouring YouTube for reviews from pro hikers who rigorously tested these shoes, I was sold—they called them their favorite pair, and I can see why. These are hands-down my top choice for trail running, gym sessions, and casual walks.The MTN Racer 3 nails it with a durable toe construction, killer grip, and fantastic flexibility. The wide toe box, a Topo signature I’ve loved since discovering the brand, gives my feet room to breathe and move naturally—nobody does it better. With a low 5mm drop, these shoes keep you grounded without feeling bulky, offering a natural feel that connects you to the terrain. The vibrant color pops, making them as stylish as they are functional. The laces are another standout—Topo’s laces are top-notch, and my red pair with yellow laces (a slightly different material) still look brand new after 3-4 years of heavy climbing, hiking, and walking. The tread eventually wore down, but that’s expected with rubber after such intense use.Compared to hyped-up competitors like HOKA or Vivobarefoot, these are a better value. Those brands are overpriced for what you get and don’t hold up nearly as well, especially for serious outdoor use. The MTN Racer 3 is perfect for trails, not just grocery store runs to look cool. If you want a lightweight, durable, and comfortable trail shoe that outperforms the rest, these are it. Highly recommend!
Review: Great Topo fit with more cushion for aging feet - I’m a Topo fan, although I’m not a trail runner. I am on my feet for 6+ hours/day in my retirement gig as well as daily long dog walks the occasional hike. I discovered this brand several years ago when searching for relief as my forefeet continued to spread out with age - now 76YO but still very active. I really appreciate the Topo fit mantra with low drop, secure heel and midfoot and roomy toe space. I also appreciate the great wear with Vibram soles on the trail models that provide wonderful support. My two-year old Terraventure 3’s still have quite usable tread, although the midsoles on these have lost some life in that time. These Mountain Racer 3’s, like my other new Ultraventure 4’s, have noticeably more cushion than those beloved TV3’s, even recalling when they were new. Notable improvement from back then when I tried thicker Topos is that these new models don’t give up any lateral stability, feeling very solid under foot. Topo describes the cushion in these MR3’s “responsive” compared to “plush” for the UV4’s that I also own and love. That’s an accurate description for both. The subtle contrast between them is appreciated since I alternate the two models during my typical week. I like the black MR3’s upper’s resistance to showing potential stains when I’m doing my woodworking projects or rebuilding bikes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shoe in decades!
*by C***R on February 7, 2025*

These are the best shoes I have found in decades! They are so comfortable and have a natural walking, running, hiking stance. For me, the best part is the large toe box. I have long toes and prone to Morton’s neuroma and my toes have plenty of room to move. The arch support is excellent and they are lightweight. I love these shoes and now have two pairs of Topos.
