Traverse Hiking Shoe – Men's

Built for thru-hikers and technical trail runners who want a low-top shoe that can handle both miles and scrambles, the Traverse is our pick when the terrain gets serious. Vibram Megagrip and a flexible ESS rock plate mean real traction and underfoot protection, while the drainage-ready FKT insole keeps wet crossings from slowing you down.

• Vibram Megagrip outsole delivers proven grip on wet rock, mud, and loose trail — the same compound used on technical climbing and hiking footwear worldwide
• Flexible ESS forefoot rock plate shields against stone bruising without locking down your foot's natural flex
• ZipFoam multi-density midsole runs soft where your foot needs cushion and firm where you need ground stability — 30mm heel / 25mm forefoot stack, 5mm drop
• FKT closed-cell beaded foam insole resists water absorption and drains fast, making creek crossings and wet Southern trails a non-issue
• Breathable mesh upper keeps airflow moving in heat and humidity while still holding up under a loaded pack on uneven terrain — weighs just 10.6 oz (M9)
