Topo Athletic Ultrafly 3
While modern running shoe designs emphasize more exotic materials, more angular drops, and higher stances, the Topo Athletic Ultrafly 3 takes a more natural approach. The shoe has minimal to zero drops at 5mm, and a flatter sole for a natural stance and stride when running.
Fit
The shoe fits comfortably and securely with its heel counter, solid upper, and laces. The external heel counter is robust enough to ensure your foot locks in place, which is critical when running over uneven terrain. The upper is also breathable yet tough, ensuring a firm grip without constricting your foot.
In addition, the wide toe box allows ample toe spacing for a natural grip when running long distances. You won't bruise your toes as there's also ample aeration.
Stability
The external heel counter travels to the middle section of the shoe, ensuring your foot remains in place. Additionally, the flat sole profile and adequate outsole traction ensure a stable footing as you move about. This running shoe is stable enough for training when you're not running. Furthermore, the midsole ZIPFOAM cushioning is adequate for a healthy energy return without being too bouncy.
Performance
These running shoes can take a beating without breaking down as the use of quality materials ensure excellent structural integrity. Additionally, the slight rocker shape of the sole makes you gently ease into the next stride. The wide soles give substantial grip and friction transfer. Overall, running in the Topo Athletic Ultrafly 3 is a stable and consistent exercise.
Conclusion
If you desire a running shoe that will perform well under most conditions without unnecessary frills, the Topo Athletic Ultrafly 3 is your answer. It is among the best in the Topo Athletic women's running shoes collection.
