Topo Athletic MTN Racer 4 shoe review: an absolute shoo-in for wide-footed trail runners

Side profile of the Topo Athletic MTN Racer 4.

First impressions

The appearance of this shoe isn’t necessarily for everyone; the extra-large toebox gives them a slightly goofy – even clownish – look, if you stare at it for too long. However, I’m the owner of a pair of wide Bozo-style feet, so for me, this generous provision of space across the ball of the foot was a very welcome sight, and it’s not something you see in many of the best trail running shoes, where ‘performance-fit’ is often code for ‘will crush your toes like a vice’.
