Topo Athletic Women's Phantom 2 Road Running Shoes - 5MM Drop, Lightweight & Comfortable for Women Runners | Perfect for Long Distance Training, Marathon & Daily Jogging

These have become my favorite road running shoes. I have slightly wider feet with bunions and these have a nice wide toebox. The cushion is also great for running long distances (I'm training for a marathon). I do take out their insoles and put my own in (Powersteps) because I need extra arch support. I went up 1/2 size from my everyday shoe size for the larger insoles, but most women I think could order them in their normal street shoe size. I wish they came in more colors.At 55 my flat feet forced me into orthodic shoe inserts. These are wide enough at the toe to properly fit them. I am an avid weight room work out junkie and I have found them to provide enough cushion for everything in the gym.The most comfortable shoe I have ever had. I can't even wear my old shoes.I have a few nagging problems that these shoes solve: a neuroma between two toes, I need a very wide toe box but narrow heel, and I need good cushioning. I’ve tried untold numbers of shoes, and these are the only ones that meet all my needs PLUS are super light and feel like I’m running on a cloud.My only complaint is that I wish they lasted longer. I’m having to replace them more frequently than I’d like. That being said, I know I’m REALLY hard on shoes. I run 5-6 miles most days, and some of my runs are on rough, cobbly roads or even trails, which I know these shoes are not designed for.So I will keep buying them. My feet are thanking me, even if my wallet is not.This shoe is very comfortable but was too large for me.Easy to get on and off. Love the color. Love the wide toe that allows room for my bunion. I wore my last pair every single day for more than two years.Perfect for my running with bunion. Enough padding, plenty of room in the toe box, what a relief! I had to order 1 full size larger, these run small. So happy with these!I keep getting sciatica but unsure if the shoe is the cause (will report in the future on that). The orange is not really orange, the color is more muted, more like orangy muted pink. Comfortable but don't expect the sole to be extra bendy.A good maximimalist shoe for endurance road runs but it feels flat whilst cushioned. But it does not have a forward rocking movement that many road shoes now have. As a result, it feels flat and sluggish. I will use it as a second shoe for rotation / on days after a long run but my first preference would still be the Hoka Cliftons Wide. Those have a metarocker that really supports the long distance running. These would be very good for walking and road hiking.
