Description

A sturdy shoe you notice most when the terrain gets tough. It feels protected and stable underfoot, with a roomy toe box that lets your toes spread. Topo positions it as a stability shoe: it keeps your foot calmly in place, even on uneven ground.

Made for long days on technical trails. On a rocky descent in the Alps or across wet stones in the Ardennes, the outsole gives you grip and a flexible forefoot plate protects against sharp stones and roots. Especially after a few hours, when your legs get tired and you step less precisely, you notice that extra confidence. With the universal gaiter system you can easily attach a gaiter to keep out stones and dirt.

Not sure? Look at what you'll mainly use it for. This is first and foremost a shoe for hiking and easy trail runs; for running at pace it feels heavy and less smooth. The durable upper holds up well on rocks and between bushes, but it's less airy: in warm weather it feels warmer than a thin trail shoe. Looking for something lighter and faster? Then check out the Terraventure 5.

In short: a sturdy, stable shoe for technical terrain and long days in the mountains.

Topo Athletic: Natural Motion and Comfort for Trail Runners

Topo Athletic is known for its trail running shoes that support the natural movement of the foot. This innovative brand designs shoes that perfectly match the biomechanics of trail runners, and Trail.NL we offer a selection of these high-quality and comfortable shoes.

The shoes of Topo Athletic are designed with a spacious toe box, giving the toes more room to spread. This provides better stability, balance, and a natural fit, even on technical terrain. The low heel-toe drop (typically between 0 and 5mm) promotes a midfoot or forefoot landing, which reduces stress on the joints and ensures a more efficient running style.

Topo Athletic uses lightweight and breathable materials, ideal for long distances and intense trails. The shoes offer excellent grip and support, allowing you to confidently explore a variety of surfaces. This combination of breathability, comfort, and a natural ride makes Topo Athletic an excellent choice for trail runners who demand the most from their equipment.

Bee Trail.NL We're happy to help you find the right Topo Athletic trail running shoes to maximize your performance and running comfort, mile after mile.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Traverse 2 waterproof?

No, the upper is made of breathable, durable mesh. The FKT insole made of closed-cell foam doesn't absorb water, so your shoe drains quickly after a puddle or stream.

Is the Traverse 2 a hiking or a running shoe?

Topo mainly calls it a hiking shoe: stable, with a flexible ESS rock plate against sharp stones and roots and Vibram Megagrip for grip on wet rock and loose stones. It can handle easy trail runs too, but it's fairly heavy for fast running.

Can I attach a gaiter?

Yes, the shoe has Topo's universal gaiter system. The Topo Switchback Gaiter is sold separately.

How does the Traverse 2 fit?

Typical Topo: a roomy toe box where your toes can move freely, with a snug midfoot and heel. The drop is low: 5 mm (30 mm heel, 25 mm forefoot).
