The Topo Athletic Men's Terraventure 5 GTX Trail Running Shoes – Black/Charcoal are built for technical trails, unpredictable weather, and runners who prefer a lower-profile connection to the terrain. Combining rugged trail protection with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproofing, the Terraventure 5 GTX helps keep your feet dry through rain, mud, wet grass, and snow without sacrificing the secure fit Topo is known for.
A 25 mm heel / 22 mm forefoot platform and low 3 mm drop create a balanced, connected-to-the-trail ride. The ZipFoam™ midsole provides soft yet responsive cushioning, while Topo's signature roomy toe box gives your toes space to spread naturally for greater comfort, balance, and control on uneven terrain.
The versatile Black/Charcoal colorway gives this technical waterproof trail shoe a rugged, understated look ready for year-round trail running and hiking.
GORE-TEX® Waterproof Protection
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit helps lock water out while maintaining a comfortable, secure fit. Whether you're running through rain, muddy singletrack, wet grass, or light snow, the waterproof construction provides added protection when trail conditions turn wet.
The FKT Insole complements the wet-weather design with closed-cell beaded foam that resists water absorption while allowing quick drainage after especially wet conditions or stream crossings.
Vibram® Megagrip & Rock Protection
Underfoot, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole delivers dependable traction across wet, dry, rocky, and technical surfaces. Its trail-focused grip helps you stay confident when navigating loose dirt, roots, rocks, mud, and changing terrain.
A flexible forefoot rock plate provides additional protection against sharp rocks and roots without eliminating the ground feel and flexibility that define the Terraventure.
