The Fli-Lyte
by Topo Athletic is a follow-up to the popular Runduro (click here for my pastreview of the Runduro). The Runduro is a
great shoe that offers the Boa lacing system, which they chose to not include
with the Fli-Lyte. It is a change that
improved the overall fit of the shoe, in my opinion. The first thing I noticed when trying on the
Fli-Lyte was that it fit like a glove. 
TopoAthletic shoes fit snug in the heel and midfoot, while it they are loose in the
toebox. This wide toe box allows your
toes to spread out. This will not only
help you be more stable, but will also reduce foot injuries commonly caused by
shoes that compress your toes. The Fli-Lyte definitely follows the TopoAthletic model. 
The Fli-Lyte
has a 3mm heel drop and weighs in at 8.2 ounces for a men’s size 9. This shoe has plenty of cushion to protect
your feet while allowing you to have a good connection, or feel, with the
ground. They use very light weight mesh
and state of the art printing techniques to reduce the weight of the shoe
without sacrificing durability.
The Fli-Lyte
is a great looking shoe that comes in two color options, black and orange or
green and black. I feel that they made
some great decisions with the changes since the Runduro and I can say that the
Fli-Lyte has made its way into my permanent shoe rotation. Not only is it great for running, but I love
using it for cross training at the gym as well.
The price is great too at $100.
You can buy them at the Topo Athletic site or at Amazon.
