Product Highlights
Tough, rugged, and no-nonsense. Are we talking about hikers and runners, or about the Topo Traverse 2? Yes, absolutely. Plus, if you're feeling a little feral and unstable, the Traverse 2 provides a healthy dose of strong steadiness.
While this trail shoe is purpose-built for thru-hiking, many runners will appreciate its stable, down-to-earth ride, letting you stride into the endless distance with utmost sure-footedness. With an aggressive Megagrip outsole shaped for technical terrain, you'll feel strongly rooted through countless steps over rocky climbs, uneven tracks, and long days in the backcountry.
Thoughtful, difference-making touches abound, from the water-resistant FKT insole and protective forefoot rock plate to the universal gaiter system. The durable, abrasion-resistant mesh and burly toe bumper protect your foot for long, tough treks, while the improved durability of the collar liner proves there's no detail too small.
With the Traverse 2, Topo's legendary durability is on full display. Whether you're running routine weekly miles, fast-packing, section hiking, or thru-hiking, you'll feel connected and confident to take on punishing vert and dirt.

- FKT insole is Topo's special sockliner of bouncy TPU foam. This beaded closed-cell foam type is non-absorbent to resist water accumulation and pamper your feet with extra cushiony responsiveness.
- Forefoot rock plate defends against sharp and bruising impacts from rocks and roots.
OUTSOLE
- Vibram Megagrip provides industry-leading grip on variable surfaces and especially on wet rock sections. Deep and durable lugs deliver ultimate utility across technical terrain.
UPPER
- High-abrasion mesh delivers a secure fit and long-lasting durability.
- Robust toe bumper, structural overlays, and external heel clip add to the protective, durable, and secure experience.
- Universal gaiter system now provides a hook-and-loop heel tab and an attachment at the tongue base for optional trail gaiters, to help prevent debris from building up inside the shoe.
- Anatomical toe box provides ample space to allow more natural toe splay, paired with a snug heel and roomier-yet-secure midfoot fit.
