Love both the Tribute and the Fli-Lite
I love these shoes. I had been wearing the original W-ST and was looking for a replacement. I bought the Fli-Lyte and the Tribute. The Tribute are definitely closer in design to the W-ST. I wear the same size in both these shoes as I did the W-ST. The Fli-Lite is VERY roomy in the toe box. I actually wore them around the house a few times before I took the tags off because they felt so odd and was going to return them. I decided to give them a shot and give them to a local charity if I didn't like them. I am so glad I tried them. They allow my toes to splay naturally and are super comfortable to run in. They do have a slight heel-toe drop and have more cushion than the Tribute. I have been wearing them on my 10+ mile runs and have not had any foot fatigue. I have B-Width foot and a high arch. I also use orthotics. I had to play around with the lacing to get it just right. The Topo FAQ page has a great article for alternate lacing based on your foot type. The Tribute is fit a little snugger in the toe box. When I first put them on, the area where the shoe-string upper material met the mesh cut into the top of my foot when I walked. Other than that, I liked the feel. I gave them a shot and the material quickly broke in and was not noticeable after a block or so. I have not felt it since. There in a zero heel-toe drop. For some reason, the first few runs in them I had calf soreness. I was surprised because I had been running in the W-ST, which are also a zero drop. I have been wearing them for my shorter runs during the week. The longest I've gone in them is 8 miles. I have not had any foot fatigue. They have more cushion than the W-ST, but less than the Fli-Lyte. Neither feel as close to the ground as the W-ST. I will continue to buy both of these models. I never thought I would like a shoe better than the W-ST, but these are pretty great in my opinion.

they are good but too narrow for me

They work well - but not as good as older models with less cushion
Wish they were more like their previous shoes with less cushion... I gave those 5 stars.

Amazing! Light! Want more!
Love these shoes! Lightweight, neutral support, just want I needed! It's like wearing no shoes but being protected from rough or hot pavement--- the ultimate freedom to run. Alas, now there are few left and NONE in my sz 7.5. Story of my life. I find a great shoe and it gets discontinued? Hope there will be more. By the way- the tie box is nice and roomy. AND one reviewer said they are not flexible. I could not disagree more, and it makes me wonder if they were reviewing THIS shoe.
