The new Topo Athletic Ultrafly 2 (5mm drop) is a cushioned road running shoe featuring a 3-density midsole for light guidance throughout the gait cycle. The new mesh upper is strong yet breathable and the all-new Ortholite footbed provides additional comfort by resisting compression and naturally eliminating odor-causing bacteria.

- Heel-to-Toe Drop – 5mm
- Weight –10.0 ounces (Men’s 9)
- Rubber Outsole – 4.5mm
- Midsole – 18.5mm EVA Heel, 13.5mm EVA Ball
- Footbed – 5mm
Although not a zero-drop minimalist running shoe, the Ultrafly 2 is a necessary training shoe for your running toolbox. I have wear tested the Ultrafly 2 on varying terrains (rubber track, asphalt/concrete, dirt, gravel) and it is a great tool to work different muscles in your legs and nerves in your foot. There are recovery days where taking a long and slower running pace with a lightly cushioned running shoe does wonders for your aching and tired muscles. Coupled with my running calf sleeves, muscle aches are minimized.
I do most of my running on trails and the lugs on the Ultrafly 2 are sufficient for loose gravel and slippery dirt on hills – good traction. On asphalt and rubber track, superior traction. Average weight for a training shoe but a little bulky as a racing shoe. My only nit is that the uppers are a little stiff and takes a few runs for it to soften up. But no hot spots or blisters running in them sock-less.
The Topo Athletic is now available in multiple colorways for both men and women at Topo Athletic online or your local running specialty store.
