Topo Athletic Traverse Wide Trail Running Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve put the Traverse Wide through long, rocky climbs and wet descents, and the extra forefoot space is the real deal. My toes can splay naturally without losing a locked-in midfoot and heel. Vibram Megagrip bites on slick rock, the rock plate saves the feet, and the FKT insole drains fast after creek crossings."When the miles stack up and the trail gets rough, we reach for the Traverse Wide Trail Running Shoe. Built as a hybrid low hiker and technical trail runner, it brings a truly roomy anatomical toe box to all-day missions without sacrificing a secure midfoot and heel. From rooted singletrack to alpine scree, it keeps us moving comfortably when swelling and toe splay would sideline narrower shoes.Underfoot, a multi-density midsole balances soft comfort next to the foot with a firmer, responsive layer against the ground, while a forefoot rock plate shields from sharp hits. The Vibram Megagrip outsole delivers confident traction on wet and dry terrain, and the breathable mesh upper pairs with a closed-cell FKT insole that resists water absorption and drains quickly. With a stable 5mm drop, gaiter compatibility, and trail-tough materials, this wide-fit workhorse is ready for thru-hikes, fastpacking, and technical runs.
