Vista is Topo Athletic's max-cushioned trail runner, aimed at technical, rugged terrain. A ZipFoam midsole on a 38 mm stack offers a mix of cushioning, response and protection, a rocker geometry keeps the ride smooth, and the Vibram Megagrip outsole and FKT Insole handle traction and a responsive step-in feel.

It suits you for long days and ultra distances on rough ground, where your legs need padding and you want the stride to roll along. At 309 g it is built for endurance, not for lightness.

It is not a light or nimble shoe. A tall stack and a rocker mean less precise ground feel on tricky footing, and nothing here is aimed at fast, short efforts.
