The Matryx® upper is a unique woven textile reinforced with Kevlar and polyamide. It offers exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and breathability while being lightweight and minimizing stretch for a secure lockdown.
While comfortable, these shoes are engineered for high-performance trail running on technical terrain. For everyday walking on flatter surfaces, other shoe types might offer more comfort and durability for that specific use.
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Merrell. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. For trail shoes, ensure there's enough room in the toe box for foot expansion during long runs.
Vibram® MegaGrip® is renowned for its superior grip on both wet and dry surfaces, providing excellent traction and stability on challenging, technical trails. The 5mm lugs offer deep engagement with the terrain.
After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn mud, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse lightly. Always air dry.
FloatPro™ Foam is Merrell's proprietary midsole technology designed to be exceptionally lightweight and durable, providing long-lasting comfort and a responsive feel for extended trail adventures.
Lace the shoes loosely initially and wear them for shorter periods to allow the Matryx upper to break in. Adjust lacing as needed for a comfortable, secure fit.
Ensure the Vibram MegaGrip sole is clean. Even the best outsoles can lose traction if contaminated with mud or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly.
While the Matryx upper is designed for breathability, intense activity can still generate heat. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists, consider the ambient temperature and exertion level.
These shoes are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely for optimal performance and fit. The Merrell 1TRL MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx is designed primarily for trail running and hiking on technical terrain.
