Topo Specter, Man

Specter is a high-performance, high-cushioning shoe built for fast pace over long distances.

It is a shoe designed for long distances, let's say over 20 km, but with the aim of keeping the pace high, of trying to break down the

personal. Everything is designed so that the shoe is light, cushioned but performing.

The upper is engineered and recycled mesh to wrap the foot without constricting it and keep it cool. The mesh has multiple differentiated holes

wide to circulate air better and narrower where more support is needed.

Enveloping tongue to stay in place and lightly padded to increase the comfort of the instep.

5mm odorless Ortholite insole. Very soft heel counter to give the minimum of structure with maximum comfort and no friction to the Achilles tendon.

2-piece midsole with a Pebax insert for cushioning with high energy return while the EVA frame act as a

stabilizer.

Specter is the highest shoe ever made by Topo (35/30 mm) but the structure with the EVA cage makes it very stable and always composed in step. Pebax is a material that guarantees a great energy return by optimizing propulsion. The Pebax insert is not a plate but it is a foam which therefore keeps the shoe very flexible and natural but the incredible response characteristics of the Pebax make Specter very reactive.

The sole is in thin rubber, light and integrated into the midsole to reduce the weight of the shoe and give traction only where it is needed while maintaining the durability of the traditional sole.
