Description

The Switchback Gaiter stops small debris from ruining your run. On trails with sand, stones, leaves or loose mud, your shoe stays cleaner, so you need to stop less often to get dirt out.

The gaiter feels light and supple while you run. It fits snugly enough to stay in place without squeezing your ankle, even on longer runs or technical sections with lots of movement. You notice it most on narrow trails where dirt keeps kicking up.

Check your shoes before you choose. The gaiter attaches with a hook at the front and a hook-and-loop strap at the heel, and is made for Topo shoes with the new universal gaiter system, such as the MTN Racer 4, Terraventure 5, Vista, Ultraventure 5 and Traverse 2. Older Topo models with three hooks don't fit.

In short: a light gaiter for messy trails; on asphalt or tidy forest paths it adds little.

Why Topo Athletic?

After a few hours on the trail you only really notice whether your shoes fit your foot well. Toes pressed together or a forefoot with too little room: that's no fun over a long distance. That's exactly why we carry Topo Athletic at trrail.com.

Topo Athletic is known for shoes with a wide toe box, so your toes get room to move naturally. That brings comfort on long runs, even when your feet swell towards the end. There is a good choice for trail, from light shoes for speed to more protection for the long days.

For us, Topo Athletic is above all a comfortable choice for anyone who likes a roomy fit: simply a well-fitting shoe you can put the kilometres in with.
