Topo Athletic was founded in 2013 by Tony Post with one simple idea: running shoes should work with your body, not against it. As a lifelong runner, Tony infused Topo with a love for natural movement – think roomy toe boxes for your toes to splay, lightweight builds, and just-right cushioning to keep you connected to the trail. Every Topo shoe reflects an ethos of “move better, naturally”, which has earned the brand a loyal following of road runners and trail trekkers alike. But Topo Athletic doesn’t just care about your feet; they care about the planet too. The company has been adding recycled and eco-friendly materials into most of its shoes (their recent models use recycled mesh uppers and even bio-based foam). In the office they run a near-paperless operation and upcycle unused materials to reduce waste. They’re also members of The Conservation Alliance, donating a portion of sales to protect wild places. With Topo, you get cutting-edge performance and a feel-good factor – it’s like running with a conscience.
