Epic, I bought a pair. I love em. Been wearing them to work for two weeks. Took em on a 12 mile hike this weekend. Awesome shoe. Can't go wrong with these.
This model is hard to find now, but if you can, I would go for it. These are fantastic!They've held up great! I personally think they're more comfortable than my altras as well.
@@EpicOutdoorz (thanks for your reply!!!) if the ones im looking at right now are the ones youre showing in the video then YES i can get my hands on them for 179$!! I will order them right now ✌🏼
Those Topo’s look nice . I completely agree with you about Altra shoes declining in durability over the years. I switched to a pair of Topo Terradventures that I’m currently using . This model has a rock plate and I really appreciate this since my trips are in the Sierra and the trails can be cobblestone for long stretches. The pressure through the bottom is intense and this necessities the rock plate for me. I’m a big guy and pressure is force/area. 😂 Looking forward to you gear gear testing this pair as they’ve been on my radar. 👍🏼🦶
I purchased my actual shoe size and I'm still comfortable wearing two pairs of socks. I put on a pair of in injinji toe socks and then double up with a merino wool sock. I would gather that means they run a little large. With two pairs of socks, they should be about right. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching 🙂
My research led me to Topo Athletic some years ago. I started with a pair of MT-2's. I was immediately hooked on Topo. I've had a few other models since but what has worked for me best has been the Ultraventure 1 and 2.I'm not interested in model #3, because there are many claims of ankle rolls cause of the rounding of the rear sole. I'm defunately interested in trying out the Pirsuit and also the new model called Traverse. Thanx for the video my Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I absolutely love my pursuits. The Treverses are next on my list to test out. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching 🙂
I've got a high arch and a very wide toe box. Topo pursuit has the best fit of any shoe I've owned. Much better than all the Altras I've owned. Vibrant sole has been great. 600 miles and still decent condition
How wide is wide? D? EE? 4E? 6E? NB makes a 6E. What about lugs? Solomon makes 5mm lugs. Inov8 makes 8mm lugs. What about grip? Is the sole sticky rubber or hard rubber? Sportiva currently makes the stickiest rubber and it's much more durable than Altra.
Their standard width is an E at the toe box . However, they also have a wide that's a 2E at the toebox. They have 6mm lugs and the mega grip sole is a sticky rubber. I like them in wet conditions much better than any of my Altras. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching 🙂
@@EpicOutdoorz - Out of most sizes, including mine. Topo website doesn't list lug-specs for any of their shoes (not that I saw anyway)? 6mm lugs with wide toe-box sounded too good to be true...

Any update? Considering buying these

hi great video. Do they fit true to size the website I’m buying from tells me I need to go down 1/2 size but I do wear 2 pairs of socks. Any ideas.

That's awesome. That's what I am hoping to get out of mine. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching 🙂
Exactly the same here. High arch and very wide toes. Just got my Topo Pursuit and they are the best fit ever.
very nice to flip flop with my Hoka Cliftons
EPIC!!!

@@EpicOutdoorz - Hmmm. Topo only lists a Women's "Pursuit?" Did they change the name of the Men's equivalent?
Not that I know of. I have a link directly to the men's pursuits in my description if you want to take a look.

@@tomnoyb8301 Wow that's lame if they discontinued them. I really like mine. I was hoping to get more. Thanks for letting me know.
Wide toe box, narrow base plate. Doesn't make sense. Doesn't fit real feet
These are a great fit on my feet. Ran a 100k in them and have maybe another 200 miles of hiking and trail running. Very comfortable
I agree! Best trail shoe I've ever put on. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching 🙂
IT’S NIGHT! I can’t get off my butt and go play outside. 😢 -Aimee
