The Topo Athletic TRAVERSE 2 is a low-cut shoe for hikers, made for long-distance thru-hiking across terrain that mixes pavement with technical ground. It carries over the direction of the original TRAVERSE, built around long hours on foot under a loaded pack. Stack height is 30mm at the heel and 25mm at the forefoot, with a 5mm drop. Rather than a trail running shoe, it is conceived as a shoe for covering long distances on hikes, in the mountains, and on thru-hikes.
Features:
Trail-Ready Grip: The Vibram® Megagrip rubber outsole delivers confident traction across rocky, loose, and uneven terrain.
Protected Underfoot: A forefoot rock plate helps shield your feet from sharp rocks and trail debris without sacrificing a flexible feel.
Breathable & Durable: The durable mesh upper promotes airflow while providing the toughness needed for demanding miles.
Wet-Weather Friendly: The closed-cell FKT Insole helps keep water from soaking in and supports faster drainage when trails get wet.
Cushioned for the Long Haul: A comfortable cushioned platform helps soften repetitive impact on extended hikes and trail runs.
Best For:
Long-distance trail running, thru-hiking, and fast-moving adventures
Rugged trails where dependable traction, drainage, and underfoot protection matter
Hikers and trail runners who want a supportive, breathable fit with room for natural foot movement
