FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While wearable on roads, the MTL Adapt Matryx is specifically engineered for trail terrain and will offer the best performance and longevity on uneven off-road surfaces.
How do I determine the right size for the MTL Adapt Matryx?
This model follows standard adult sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for a half-size larger to accommodate natural foot swelling during long runs.
Is the material waterproof?
The Matryx material is designed for maximum breathability rather than waterproofing, allowing moisture to escape quickly during runs.
Can I use custom orthotics in these shoes?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required for additional support.
How often should I replace these trail shoes?
Generally, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the terrain and your individual strike pattern.
Troubleshooting
Feeling friction or hot spots during initial runs
Try adjusting your lacing technique to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit, and ensure you are wearing proper performance trail socks.
Accumulation of grit and dirt inside the shoe
Use a lightweight trail gaiter to prevent trail debris from entering the collar of the shoe during particularly dusty or sandy runs.
Cushioning feeling compressed after heavy use
Rotate your running shoes to allow the foam to fully recover between sessions, as the cells in the midsole require time to rebound.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your MTL Adapt Matryx perform at their peak, start with a gradual wear-in period on shorter trails to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape. Compatibility is best with technical moisture-wicking socks, which will maximize the breathability of the Matryx fibers. For care, avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the specialized synthetic components. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe the midsoles with a damp cloth after each muddy run. Always air dry your trainers in a cool, shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause premature degradation of the cushioning materials.
