Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Matryx material is highly breathable but is not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be worn on pavement, the tread pattern is specifically optimized for trail surfaces and will wear down faster on asphalt.
How should I clean the Matryx upper?
Gently hand wash with cool water and a mild detergent, then rinse and air dry.
Is there a significant break-in period?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, though the stiff construction may require 10-15 miles to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
Yes, the internal construction provides neutral arch support suitable for most foot types.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing system to use a runner's loop at the top eyelet to increase heel lockdown.
Visible dirt accumulation in the weave
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles; avoid soaking the shoes as it can affect the bonding agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MTL Adapt Matryx trainers, proper maintenance is essential:
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe rubbing on long descents.
- Cleaning: Remove caked-on mud after every hike using a soft brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and keep the structural integrity of the fabric intact.
- Maintenance: If the laces become frayed, replace them with similar high-friction trail laces to ensure the lockdown remains secure.
