Topo Athletic Men's MTN Racer 4
Trail running shoes from Topo are among the most popular for long-distance hikes, and it's no wonder – they stand out with a low or zero drop, lightweight construction, and a wide toe box. The new generation of the MTN Racer model builds on proven foundations – it features improved ZipFoam™ cushioning, a new performance FKT Insole for better moisture wicking and energy return, and excellent traction from the Vibram® Megagrip outsole in technically demanding terrain.
What makes the product special?
Breathable shoes with a wide toe box and low drop for trail running and long-distance hikes.
Topo MTN Racer 4
The MTN Racer 4 model builds on the popular third generation – MTN Racer 3, but it brings several upgrades right away. It keeps the 5mm drop, but thanks to the modified ZipFoam™ blend and the new FKT Insole, it offers better energy return and more efficient moisture management. The improved upper ensures even better performance in technical terrain while maintaining comfort and breathability. This model comes with Velcro at the back for easy and secure attachment of gaiters, for example, Tidy Gear Gaiters.
Just like the previous version, the four also relies on awesome traction thanks to the Vibram® Megagrip sole, which gives you reliable grip on wet rocks, mud, and scree.
Of course, it has a wide toe box that allows for a natural toe spread and a more comfortable step. Thanks to these features, the MTN Racer 4 is the perfect choice for trail running, but also for fast mountain ascents and long, technically challenging treks.

Our experiences
MTN Racer 4 is a solid trail shoe with a decent tread that can handle rough use and support you in the terrain. Some of our Gramino team (David, Míša, and Peťa) have sworn by Topo trail shoes for the last few years.
We've tested Topo Athletic shoes on a bunch of hikes, and in each case, they performed well for us:
- a mountain trek in Kyrgyzstan, where it was all about moving through dusty and rocky terrain and scree slopes,
- Peťa with her trail shoes from Topo hiked the Pacific Crest Trail years ago and in 2024 the Continental Divide Trail.
