Men’s Topo Athletic Traverse 2

Built for hiking, fastpacking and long days on technical trails, the Men’s Traverse 2 combines underfoot protection with Topo’s signature roomy toe box and secure midfoot fit.

The updated ZipFoam™ midsole provides lasting cushioning, while an ESS forefoot rock plate protects against sharp rocks and rough ground. Underneath, a Vibram® Megagrip outsole delivers dependable traction across wet, dry and uneven terrain.

An abrasion-resistant mesh upper improves durability, while the FKT closed-cell insole drains quickly and absorbs less water—ideal for stream crossings and changeable conditions. The universal gaiter system helps keep trail debris out. Topo Athletic
