Am very happy with the fit of Topo and just ordered a spare pair from wildearth.

Yes Topos. Went into BPL in Melb after they told me they had Topos in my size-they didn't -buggers.Long trip! They seem perfect and I have been trying to source some to try them out, but not sure on the width. My foot has been expanding hugely when I go over 15-25 ks. Read some stuff that said wideish. Would love to try them on. If they go cheap I would take a punt online. Which ones did you go for? Durable?

My feet are wide in the ball area, big toes olngest and a bunion on the left knuckle. (i an tell by looking at a shoe if it is too narrow or tapers the wrong way)
I goy Topo ultra something US12 and the were so comfy first try I worried maybe a size doen would have been better! As it is they are fine.
The pair I just ordered ar the MT3 trail runner, even though I do have a split where the bunion is.
Not concerned, the structure seems it won't extend beyond that and I'll just patch it with some vinyl/rubber/glue compound.

Nice vinyl surrounding it so not at all concerned. I love airy shoes.

Topo fit, breathe, light and comfortable for me.

I have narrow ankles and a very wide forefoot [ yep bare feet as soon as the weather warms up] and they fit me although I have gone up a size recently as my foot stretches
