The Topo Athletic Magnifly 2 is a cushioned, zero-drop running shoe featuring a dual-density injected EVA midsole and sweeping toe rocker to move you swiftly and efficiently through the gait cycle.
Why the Topo Athletic Magnifly 2?
All Topo shoe models start with their signature fit ingredients:
- Wide toe box
- Contoured fit through the midfoot and heel
- Low drop (5mm and under)
From this natural-fit baseline, Topo engineer each unique model to meet the needs of different running styles, terrain, distance and workouts.
In the Magnifly 2, Topo amped up the cushioning and comfort; ideal for runners who love the natural zero-drop feel of the ST-2 for example, but who desire a more cushioned, softer ride. The dual-density injected EVA midsole provides a dynamic underfoot experience and a sweeping toe rocker helps move you through the gait cycle.
Key Features
- Dual-density Injected EVA – a softer layer of foam close to the foot provides more cushion and comfort, while a firmer layer near the ground provides that coveted springy responsiveness.
- Sweeping Toe Rocker – the sole features a longer toe sweep that runs from the ball of the foot (metatarsals) through the toes, to help propel you through the gait cycle. This sensation can help runners adopt a more efficient running technique by promoting forward lean and gravity-led propulsion. It also assists in keep the shoe from feeling stiff and/or flat – a common complaint associated with thicker, zero-drop shoes.
- Zero-Drop – the neutral platform represents a key component of natural running. With absolutely no heel to toe differential, the foot is positioned to land and load and distribute force normally.
- Value – Great running shoes don’t have to break the bank. Topo Athletic’s natural running philosophy means performance footwear is produced without all the unnecessary “bells and whistles” often seen on other brands. The Magnifly 2 carries an MSRP of $110 which I’m sure you’ll agree is great value.
