Product Information
Full details
The Merrell 1TRL MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx trainers are designed for adult male athletes seeking high performance on technical terrain. Their key benefit is exceptional grip and durability for speed and stability in rugged conditions. A potential caveat is the specialized Matryx upper may require a break-in period. These trainers feature a lightweight, breathable, and abrasion-resistant Kevlar-reinforced Matryx® woven textile upper, a moisture-wicking lining, a FloatPro™ Foam midsole for comfort, and a Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole with 5mm lugs for superior traction.

FAQs
What makes the Matryx® upper unique?
The Matryx® upper is a blend of Kevlar and polyamide, offering exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and breathability while being lightweight and minimizing stretch for a secure, locked-in feel.
How does the FloatPro™ Foam midsole benefit the user?
FloatPro™ Foam is designed to be lightweight and durable, providing long-lasting cushioning and comfort for extended periods of activity on the trail.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, these trainers are specifically engineered for technical trail running. Their aggressive tread and specialized upper might be more than needed for casual use on urban surfaces.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
Refer to the UK adult foot sizing guide. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the sizing chart provided by Merrell 1TRL.
Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?
The Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole offers excellent traction on wet surfaces. However, the highly breathable Matryx® upper may not provide significant water resistance.
What is the expected lifespan of the outsole?
The Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole is known for its durability. Lifespan will vary based on terrain, frequency of use, and running style, but it is designed for high mileage.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure laces are not tangled and are threaded through eyelets smoothly. If wear is present, consider replacing the laces.
Foot feels warm or sweaty
This is common during intense activity due to the high breathability. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For cooler conditions, consider thicker wool socks.
Traction feels insufficient on specific surfaces
The Vibram® MegaGrip® is designed for a wide range of conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris which can impair grip.
Upper feels stiff or uncomfortable
The Matryx® upper requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods, starting with shorter walks, to allow them to mold to your foot.
Pros and Cons

- High durability and abrasion resistance from the Matryx® upper.

- Responsive cushioning for sustained comfort on long distances.
- Secure and supportive fit for challenging conditions.
Cons
- Matryx® upper might require an initial break-in period for optimal comfort.

- Color availability might be restricted.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely using the recycled laces, adjusting the tension to your preference. The low padded collar and Matryx® upper might feel initially snug; allow for a short break-in period on shorter runs.
Compatibility: Designed for male adults. Sizing is based on UK adult foot sizes. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
