FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Matryx upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than waterproofing. They will allow water to drain and evaporate quickly.
Are these suitable for a neutral gait?
Yes, the MTL Adapt Matryx is designed to provide balanced support suitable for most neutral runners and hikers.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
Yes, you can remove the existing insole and replace it with your own custom orthotics if they are the correct volume for the shoe.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Like most performance trail shoes, expect to replace them every 300-500 miles depending on the terrain and your usage intensity.
Are they true to size?
The MTL Adapt series generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet and comparing them to the size chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Adjust your lacing pattern using the eyelets to create a more secure heel lock.
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and thin; thick cotton socks can bunch and cause hot spots.
Dirt buildup in the woven fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate debris from the mesh pores while rinsing with water.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, start by wearing these shoes during shorter training sessions to allow the upper materials to conform to your specific foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the technical fibers.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Never place these shoes in a dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the midsole foam and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated location to prevent odor buildup and maintain material integrity.
