The Topo Athletic Women's Terraventure 5 GTX Trail Running Shoes – Black/Mint are built for wet, rugged trails where protection, traction, and ground feel matter. This waterproof version of the Terraventure 5 combines a durable trail platform with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, helping keep your feet dry and comfortable through rain, mud, snow, and changing trail conditions.
With a low-cushion 25 mm heel / 22 mm forefoot platform and 3 mm drop, the Terraventure 5 GTX maintains a balanced, connected-to-the-trail feel. A ZipFoam™ midsole provides soft yet responsive cushioning, while Topo's signature roomy toe box allows natural toe splay without sacrificing a secure fit through the midfoot and heel.
The Black/Mint colorway gives this technical waterproof trail shoe a versatile dark base with fresh Mint accents.
GORE-TEX® Waterproof Protection
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproofing helps keep water out while maintaining a comfortable fit and feel. It's an important upgrade for trail runners and hikers who regularly encounter rain, muddy trails, wet grass, stream crossings, or snow.
The FKT Insole complements the wet-weather construction with closed-cell beaded foam that resists absorbing water and allows the shoe to drain quickly when conditions get especially wet.
Vibram® Megagrip & Rock Protection
Underfoot, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole delivers dependable traction across technical and variable terrain. Whether you're navigating wet rocks, loose dirt, roots, or muddy trails, the outsole is designed to provide confident grip and durability.
A flexible ESS forefoot rock plate adds protection from sharp rocks and roots while maintaining enough flexibility for a natural trail feel.
