Topo Athletic's MTN Racer 2 features well-thought upgrades to the trail shoe that's become a favourite amongst Topo fans and first-timers. As with all Topo Athletic shoes, the MTN Racer 2 features the 'Topo difference' (i.e., wide toe box, secure heel and midfoot, and minimal heel-to-toe drop) that encourages a more natural running gait
Thin, Breathable and Durable Upper
The MTN Racer 2 is a performance shoe with a wide toe box. What does it mean? It's comfortable but sleek and light at the same time. The tongue is thinner than its predecessor and the upper material is breathable and durable so that you can tackle the trails—rain or shine.
Upgraded Midsole Material
Now featuring a 3-piece ZipFoam midsole, instead of the original injected EVA midsole, the MTN Racer 2 is more responsive so that you can move quickly through the trails.
TPU Heel Counter
A light plastic heel counter gives you a little more secure fit around the ankles without being overly rigid.
Grippy Outsole
The Vibram MegaGrip outsole, the best-in-class outsole for the trails, makes a return on the MTN Racer 2. Its deep but well-spaced lugs ensures mud doesn't get trapped in-between for long.
Overall, the MTN Racer 2 is great trail running shoe that's suitable for those looking for a light hiking and trekking shoe.
