FAQs

What type of terrain is the Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 best suited for?

The shoe is designed for varied trail running and hiking conditions, including rocky, muddy, and loose terrain, thanks to its Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole.

How durable is the Matryx® upper?

The Matryx® upper is reinforced with Kevlar, making it highly durable and resistant to abrasion while maintaining breathability.

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running like ultras?

Yes, the FloatPro™ Foam midsole provides excellent long-distance comfort, making it a good option for ultramarathons and extended trail runs.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry.

What is the primary benefit of the FloatPro™ Foam?

FloatPro™ Foam is designed to provide lightweight, durable cushioning for sustained comfort on long efforts.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Ensure the shoe is snug but not constricting. The laces should be adjusted to secure your heel without causing pressure points. Try them on with the type of socks you typically use for trail running.

What is the lug depth on the outsole?

The outsole features 5mm lugs designed for maximum traction on various trail surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels damp after a run.

Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists, the shoe may need more thorough drying after use, or consider that extreme conditions may exceed the wicking capacity.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Clean the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the lugs are not excessively worn down.

Upper feels stiff or restrictive.

The Matryx® upper is designed for a snug fit. Ensure you have the correct size. After initial wears, the material should conform slightly to your foot. If still too stiff, ensure laces are not overtightened.

Minor dirt or stains on the Matryx® upper.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional traction on varied terrain due to Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole.
  • Enhanced durability and breathability from the Kevlar-reinforced Matryx® upper.
  • Superior long-distance comfort provided by FloatPro™ Foam midsole.
  • Effective moisture management keeps feet dry.
  • Lightweight design supports agility on the trail.

Cons

  • Matryx® upper may require specific cleaning to preserve its properties.
  • Potentially less cushioning for those preferring a softer feel.
  • Durability may vary depending on the intensity and type of trail conditions.
  • Limited ankle support due to the low-cut design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 is ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them securely, adjusting the tightness to your comfort and the demands of the trail. The low-cut design allows for natural foot articulation.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, use with socks that offer good moisture-wicking properties.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For the Matryx® upper, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris. A damp cloth can be used for further cleaning.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
