FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the MTL Adapt Matryx is designed with a focus on breathability. While they handle wet terrain well, they are not waterproof.
How do I determine the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker hiking socks, you may want to consider a half-size increase depending on your preference for toe-box room.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically versatile, the outsole is specifically designed for trail grip. Frequent road use will accelerate the wear of the outsole lugs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed for cleaning or if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after the first few uses
The technical materials are designed for performance and may need a short break-in period. Ensure your laces are adjusted correctly to distribute pressure evenly across the midfoot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using gaiters if you are hiking through particularly dusty or loose gravel terrain, as the high-breathability mesh allows for airflow that can carry fine particles.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability thanks to Matryx fiber technology
- High level of breathability for comfort in warm conditions
- Robust underfoot cushioning reduces fatigue on long trails
- Lightweight construction compared to traditional hiking shoes
Cons

- Specialized design is optimized for trails rather than casual everyday use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MTL Adapt Matryx shoes, proper maintenance is essential. Always loosen the laces fully when putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel counter damage. If the shoes become muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the performance fibers. Use a soft brush to remove dried debris from the outsole and mesh sections. For deep cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild, neutral soap, avoiding harsh detergents or washing machines. Ensure the insoles are removed and dried separately.
