In the late summer of 2013, Tony and a small team launched the brand, Topo Athletic, with a mission to develop footwear that helps amplify the body’s natural and intuitive abilities. These would not be exclusively minimal shoes or shoes with toes, Topo would offer a range of athletic shoes designed to honor the shape of the foot and respect the body’s mechanics. Only then could an athlete harness the increased efficiency and fluidity of uninhibited human movement.

Everyday, Topo Athletic chooses to rise above the industry’s gimmicks and trends, encouraging a better running and fitness experience through instinctive and natural movement. It is this philosophy that serves as the foundation of Topo Athletic. A brand created for and by athletes, with a mission to develop footwear that honors the shape and biomechanics of the human foot.
