The Topo Traverse is the ultimate thru-hiker shoe. Designed to be a workhorse day in and day out, these hiker/trail runner hybrids are crafted for lightweight performance and high mileage comfort. The Traverse combines cushion, traction, durability, and quick dry capabilities into a do-it-all all High Sierra trail crusher.
One thing that sets the Traverse apart is the focus on quick drainage in wet conditions. The FKT Insoles are built with closed-cell material that locks water out. Combined with a durable mesh upper, these shoes ventilate and dry with optimal quickness. Navigate those challenging snow fields and creek crossings of the JMT with confidence and comfort.
The Topo Traverse is lightweight and has a moderate amount of balanced cushion, ideal for all day on your feet endeavors. The Megagrip outsole is firm yet responsive, supportive on the trail, and grippy on the granite. The forefoot rock plate adds an extra layer of protection, the roomy toe box gives the toes space to splay and swell, and the secure fit heel ties it all together to create a shoe that is built to rock the trail and scramble the summits.
