FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for road running?
While wearable on roads, it is optimized for trail performance and may wear down faster on abrasive asphalt surfaces.
Does the Matryx upper stretch?
The material is designed to be highly durable and hold its shape well, offering minimal stretch compared to standard knits.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they prioritize breathability over waterproofing, making them ideal for dry to mildly damp conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
The MTL Adapt Matryx fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your preferred trail running socks.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable to allow for the insertion of custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage within the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened using a heel-lock lacing technique to secure the midfoot.
Stiffness during early use
Wear the shoes for shorter walks or easy jogs for 3-5 sessions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot mechanics.
Accumulation of trail debris
Consider wearing trail gaiters to prevent loose dirt and pebbles from entering through the breathable mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MTL Adapt Matryx shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush to remove loose dirt after each run. For tougher stains, use mild soap and cold water, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape, as performance footwear like this is designed for a precision fit. If you are using custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the existing insole depth before your first extended run.
