Best praise vs top criticism for Topo Athletic MTN Racer 3
“Nice one. Thanks for this. The glue marks on the back are a bit icky. But I’ve seen this from major brands too. Not sure if I’m seeing the discolouration though (am on mobile). I’m loving my MTN Racer 3. It’s built like a bloody tank. Wouldn’t mind trying out their road shoes in the future. I’m fortunate that my small local running shoe store stocks most of their shoes. Topo’s UK distributor works with Evri for their deliveries and won’t allow collections. I’d rather shove an upside down pineapple up my rear end than deal with Evri.”
“Will return TM3. I have run a huge amount of time in TM1. I love the 1,even if the tongue looks weird. Modified them with regular laces thou. The MAX1 was high but stable. Decent stable even in technical terrain. ... The 3s...they are HIGH. Very high. And they fit completely different. Tje reinforcement in toebox is extremely uncomfortable. Not pleased at all. Feels like a hoka with lugs. I would twist my ankle in these - that's my feel. Do they perform? Don't know. Im now trying trabuco 12 over fuji light 4. If neither works Ill go for a another pair of MAX1”
