Product Overview
Traverse 2 takes the construction of a lightweight trail running shoe and beefs it up to handle technical terrain without flinching. The cushioned platform works with Topo's signature roomy toe box for long-day comfort, while a new high-abrasion mesh upper and an improved collar liner add durability. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole grips hard on wet rock, scree and everything in between, and the universal gaiter system keeps debris on the trail, not in your shoes.
