Expert Review Sources

  • Doctors of Running : 81.3 / 100 — « Built by Topo Athletic around the Topo Athletic proprietary foam midsole, the Phantom 3 supports the gait cycle with a stable Topo Athletic proprietary foam base and smooth forefoot rocker (269 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The Topo Phantom 3 is a great pick for runners who need a spacious, foot-shaped toebox with ample room in all directions. In our runs, the cushioning felt slightly firm and lacked bounce, making it less ideal for those seeking performance. However, for midfoot and forefoot strikers who prioritize comfort and value, we think its well-padded upper and stable platform create a reliable option for daily training—especially for high-volume feet that need extra space to accommodate their toes. »
  • The Running Collective : 78.5 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 5.8 mm drop and weighing 269 g, the Topo Athletic Phantom 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (269 g, a 5.8 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €165. »
