By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The MT-4 Trail Running Shoe
We love the MT-4 Trail Running Shoe by Topo Athletic for its exceptional comfort, performance, and versatility. When we hit the trails, this shoe keeps us feeling light on our feet and gives us the freedom to explore both the rugged terrain and the smooth roads.
One of the standout features of the MT-4 is its absence of a rock plate. This design choice not only reduces weight but also enhances flexibility, allowing us to move with ease. Whether we're running on a rocky trail or a paved road, this shoe delivers the perfect blend of support and adaptability.
The upper of the MT-4 is constructed from breathable mesh, ensuring our feet stay cool and comfortable throughout our adventures. The mesh is also highly durable, guaranteeing long-lasting performance on the toughest trails.
Another standout feature is the dual-density EVA midsole. This cushioning technology provides excellent shock absorption, making every step comfortable and stable. No matter the unpredictable nature of the trail, the MT-4's midsole keeps us well-protected.
We also appreciate the thoughtful addition of drainage ports. These ports allow water to quickly escape after stream crossings, keeping our feet dry and preventing discomfort. It's these little details that make a big difference when it comes to overall comfort and performance.
For 2022, Topo has upgraded the MT-4 with a Vibram XS Trek outsole. This outsole features multi-directional lugs and forefoot flex grooves, giving us exceptional traction on various surfaces. Whether we encounter slick or uneven terrain, we can trust that our footing will remain secure.
