Designed for long distance hiking, the Traverse Trail Running Shoe excels in many different roles with its excellent breathability, cushion, and traction that allows them to be used anywhere from the West Coast Trail, to exploring urban centers, to running around Stanley Park.
The Traverse is a technical thru hiking and trail runner hybrid built with durable mesh for optimal breathability and features a cushioned platform made up of the Vibram Megagrip outsole for industry best traction, a forefoot rock plate for protection, and the new FKT insole whose closed cell construction locks water out effectively.
As for all Topo Athletic shoes, the Traverse is designed for natural comfort. Their shoes are shaped like your foot with a wider toe box allowing your toes to splay out naturally and they feature a low heel to toe drop which encourages a more natural midfoot strike through your gait cycle.
