Topo Athletic Vista

« Topo is taking the max-stack trend into the trail world, and we think the Vista makes a strong first statement. We really liked its plush cushioning and generous fit, especially on long, easy runs where comfort matters most. It handles mixed terrain well and provides impressive protection without feeling unstable. However, the heavy build and lack of energy return make it less exciting at faster paces, while the high price makes it harder to recommend, especially for runners with average-sized feet. »
