In Testing

I was really keen to try the Topo Atmos 2, particularly because of its foot-shaped toe box. Although I wouldn’t consider myself to have particularly wide feet, I love the idea of being able to spread my toes naturally inside a shoe.

From the moment I slipped them on, they felt incredible comfortable. The upper provides a secure, locked-in fit, while the lower heel-to-toe drop gives the shoe a more natural, grounded feel underfoot. The improved outsole is another big plus, offering that extra bit of traction and helping me feel more confident with every stride.

I’d say the Topo Atmos 2 is a great option for longer runs, thanks to its generous cushioning and foot-shaped toe-box, which gives your toes plenty of room to spread naturally. It’s not only a great option for running either, the lower drop also makes it a comfortable option for walking, provided that natural feel underfoot that I really enjoy.

Verdict

The Topo Atmos 2 is a fantastic option if you’re looking for a versatile, well-cushioned shoe that can handle everything from long runs to everyday walking. The rounded, foot-shaped toe-box gives your toes plenty of room to spread naturally, while the lower heel drop creates a more natural, grounded feeling underfoot. Combining comfort, cushioning and a foot-friendly design, this is a great shoe that makes every step feel more natural and enjoyable.

Topo Atmos 2 Comparison

Product	Comparison
Hoka Bondi	Similar level of high cushioning and same heel drop. Overall higher stack and heavier in weight. Best for long, easy recovery runs and prolonged standing or walking. Narrower toe box. Bulkier design, less suited for sprinting sessions. Slightly higher price point.
Saucony Triumph	Very similar level of cushioning at the heel, with a lower forefoot stack and much higher heel drop. This makes it more suited to heel strikers. Lighter, softer and more responsive. Higher price point.
Brooks Glycerin	Also max-cushioned, but softer, with a more traditional feel. Higher heel-drop. The stack is slightly lower, which allows it to feel a bit more grounded and stable, with a more flexible heel-to-toe transition. Higher price point.
New Balance 1080	Very similar stack height and heel drop. Lighter, softer and more energetic ride, but slightly bulkier and less stable. Both are suitable for long easy runs. Same price point.
