As a runner who prefers access to a natural stride but also loves cushioning, you'll fall in love at first step with the Topo Athletic Ultrafly 2 Running Shoe. The 5mm drop provides a more natural feel while still offering some cushion under-heel for extra comfort. For even more cushioning, the shoe is equipped with a multi-density midsole that balances a softer cushion against the foot with firmer, more responsive cushioning against the ground. This, with the elastic rebounding Ortholite footbed, ensure a lively step while running. The Ortholite footbed also repels nasty odors naturally so you can focus on the run, not your stinking feet. When the miles start to accumulate, you'll be grateful for both the roomy toe box that allows your toes to spread naturally and comfortably, as well as the lightweight, breathable upper that provides an airy second skin fit and feel.
