Topo Athletic Magnifly

While not as light as some competitive models at 8.8oz, Magnifly’s engineered for extended, fast miles.  Active Junky was drawn to the shoe’s profile, with 25mm x 20mm total stack high and a 5mm drop.  The build is solid including a 4.5mm rubber outsole, 5mm footbed and 15.5mm heel.  Topo likes plush in front (meaning a roomy toe box) and a more conforming waist. Control is solid and outsole life is acceptable while shock absorption is meaningful.  Active Junky remains a fan of Topo’s tongue designs along with stay-tied lacing systems. The end result for many runners will be more flow in their gait without feeling sloppy.
