Man's Adventure shoe.
These shoes are really a game changer in the field. I have hiked through rain forests in Costa Rica, Across rocky streams and down many trails in these shoes. They are versatile, light weight, and really go to work in the water. No need to remove shoes. Get them wet. They will dry quickly and you can keep going. The treads are great. Also I like the cushy back heel and the ample toe box. They clean up nice, and look in good walking around town too. If you're an outdoor guy like me, you will live in these shoes. Make sure you get the right fit. They tend to run true to size.

Good, not great
I am on my third or fourth pair of Topo shoes, so I thought these would be a good idea for walking in the winter since they'd have a bit more traction as compared to normal running shoe, plus the waterproofing. I ordered the same size as I have in my other Topo shoes, and these fit a bit more snug, likely due to the waterproof lining inside. There was some noise from the fabric when walking, as other reviews have mentioned. I use arch support insoles which can make shoes feel tighter, so with the snug fit from waterproofing and the insoles they were just a bit too tight so I ended up returning them.

Perfect waterproof runner/hiker
I wanted a grippy low-cut hiking shoe that I could run in if needed and that was water proof. This shoe delivers on comfort with the classic Topo toe box and minimal cushion that allows for good ground feel - something I like when moving on uneven, muddy or loose rock terrain. I like more padding in a running shoe or even for 10 mile plus hikes. But for exploring, trail running, or scrambling I really want to feel the terrain (e.g, mud to solid dirt, boulders, scree/loose rock, roots, etc). To me that helps me find my footing and keep my balance- a similarprinciple in rock climbing shoes although these are way more comfortable. The grip is perfect and I never slipped except ones when I wore them on a slick sidewalk - which I would t recommend these for. You can do some road walking or running but these shine when your exploring on/off trail.As with every Topo, these shoes feel instantly comfortable right out of the box. They never gave me blisters or hot spots even though I did some fairly aggressive hikes with minimal break-in time.I don’t know why Topo does their own proprietary waterproof exterior versus using Gor-Tex but it holds up well and feels more rugged. The waterproof interior feels plushy and not too tight but does make a soft hush while walking that seems to go away after breaking them in. Water never got in despite some moderate rain and no gaiters but if you’re worried about water getting in and not drying you could go for the non-water proof version of this shoe and use waterproof socks. That was a hard choice for me but these shoes delivered for me and I wasn’t in constant rain, running in puddles or walking through streams.

Not 100% waterproof
I bought these because i wanted waterproof shoes. After having them for 2 weeks they arent water proof. They keep my feet pretty dry but if you submerge your toes in a puddle it gets wet. Not as advertised but still comfy.Update, having worn these shoes maybe 10 times. theres creasing one each side of the shoes and the material is already starting to fall apart. Not what i want out of $150 shoes i literally only use to disc golf a couple hours

Great shoe
We found TOPO shoes this year and really like the room in the toe box. The shoes are lightweight, roomy and the best shoe I’ve worn in years. I needed the all black for work but have 2 other pair I rotate in my daily life. I will definitely continue buying the TOPO shoe for my 60 year old feet.
