Question 1

How does the sizing fit? Should I order my usual size?**

Accepted Answer

Based on extensive user feedback, the ST-5 tends to run slightly long. Many runners, including those in online forums, recommend sizing down by a half-size from your typical running shoe for a secure fit. If you're between sizes, choosing the smaller option is often advised. Checking our detailed sizing guide on the product page is the best first step.

Question 2

Are these shoes good for someone with wide feet or bunions?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ST-5 features Topo's signature anatomical toe box, which is wider than most conventional running shoes, allowing toes to splay naturally. This is frequently praised by users with wider feet or minor bunions. However, if you have a *very* high volume (tall) foot, some have noted the toe box can feel shallow. For extreme widths, checking our dedicated wide-fit models might be beneficial.

Question 3

I'm used to cushioned shoes like Hoka. Will these feel too hard or minimal?**

Accepted Answer

This is a crucial consideration. The ST-5 is a zero-drop, low-cushion shoe designed for a natural, ground-connected feel. If you love plush, soft landings, the transition may feel firm initially. These shoes are fantastic for shorter, faster runs and gym workouts where stability is key, but they are not a high-cushion, max-comfort shoe. Many TikTok runners suggest them as a great *complement* to a cushioned daily trainer, not necessarily a direct replacement.

Question 4

How durable is the lightweight mesh upper? I run on rough pavement.**

Accepted Answer

The mesh is engineered for maximum breathability and lightness, which is its primary benefit. While durable for regular road use, some users on Reddit have reported the mesh can be susceptible to tearing if subjected to frequent scuffs against curbs, trail debris, or very abrasive surfaces. For a perfect balance of durability and a similar natural feel, you might also explore our Topo Ultrafly model, which offers a more reinforced upper.

Question 5

What's your return policy if the shoes don't fit or feel right?**

Accepted Answer

We offer a 30-day trial period for unworn shoes. If the fit or feel isn't perfect for you—perhaps the zero-drop sensation isn't what you expected, or the sizing is off—you can return them for a full refund or exchange. We encourage you to try them on a clean, indoor surface to ensure you're completely satisfied.
