Frequently Asked Questions
How does the level platform of the Pursuit 2 impact running form?
The Pursuit 2 is built on an even-height platform that encourages a more natural stride. This helps runners maintain better alignment and ground feel, especially on uneven trails where control and balance matter.
Is the Pursuit 2 suitable for technical or high-impact terrain?
Yes. It features a protective midsole with ZipFoam™ cushioning and a durable upper that helps absorb impact on rocky, rooty, or unpredictable surfaces. This makes it ideal for runners who prefer footwear designed for tougher trail conditions.
Does the Pursuit 2 offer a secure fit for narrow or medium-width feet?
While the toe box allows natural toe spread, the midfoot and heel are designed with a more locked-in feel compared to softer trail models. This helps provide additional precision and confidence on steep climbs, descents, and tight turns.
What type of grip can runners expect from the Vibram® Megagrip outsole?
The outsole uses Megagrip rubber with aggressive, widely spaced lugs that bite into loose dirt, wet rock, and uneven surfaces. This design is especially helpful for runners who rely on strong traction from footwear built for demanding off-road environments.
In The Press
I really do think Topo has put together what is probably the best zero-drop trainer you could ask for in 2024.
"The Topo Athletic Pursuit 2 looks like it has the potential to be the new benchmark for zero-drop comfort and performance across daily training and even ultra distances."
