Topo Athletic

Barefoot brand from USA, founded 2013.

Topo Athletic is a US brand making road running, trail and everyday walking shoes, mostly listed as unisex with a few men's and women's styles. Their signature is a roomy, foot-shaped toe box with a snug midfoot and heel. Most pairs are low drop, from zero up to about 5mm, so they sit between barefoot and conventional trainers. They also sell socks and a few foot-care items.

Specialities: running, trail, low drop, wide toe box, socks

How Topo Athletic fits

rounded toe box, multiple width, medium volume

I'd say these suit feet that are wide across the toes but narrower through the heel and midfoot. Go true to size, and ask about the wide fitting, which only comes in select models. Stride Lab's size guide notes a snug midfoot and heel, so a very wide midfoot may feel tight.
