MTL Adapt Matryx

Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx?

Haha too true. Surprisingly I find them stable. I think they have a nice wide base and the cutouts in the foam allow the show to conform rather than topple over. But it could also just be my ankle strength improving 😅

Given the stack on these, username does NOT check out. 🤣 I’m giving these a go for a mountain 100. I think they’ll hold up, but that max cush could be unstable.

Merrell MTL Adapt or NF Vectiv Summit 4! They blew my mind, but may not do you the same curtesy

I would go for North Face Vective Enduris 4, or maybe Merrel Mtl Adapt Matryx. I’m 90 kg, have wide feet and run on technical terrain in Norway (it often rains, so a lot of mud, and with periods of snow). I have ran in: • Hoka Speedgoat 5 - not very durable grip. • New Balance Hierro V9 - A bit unstable. • Asics Gel - Trabuco 13 GTX - Caused achilles pain.

The Merrel Adapt Mtl Matryx are one of my favorite shoes, crazy enough. 30-40 km break-in periode. I’m 209 lbs, need a lot of chusioning, and stable shoes considering that I run in very technical terrain. My all-time favorite is the Vj Ultra 3. I have flat and wide feet and this two models suit me well.

You should check out the new MTL Adapt Matrix from Merrell. It has a 6mm drop and the cushion is a little softer. I have both the AP5 and the Adapt. The Adapt has a more secure fit and is more stable in rocky terrain. Both are great shoes though and the price you can get the AP5 (always on sale) for is great value.

Any trail shoe with a mesh woven upper like that pretty much fails in the same way, the Trabuco 13 included. Maybe look for a trail shoe with a Matrix type upper. Instead of the Merrell Peak Agility 5, look at the Merrell MTL Adapt. Its upper is Matrix. The La Sportiva Prodigio Max would also be a good option similar to the Caldera. Not a Matrix upper, but very similar. I have upper failures with most trail shoes after 200 miles and these two are proving to be bomb proof after 200 miles on each, the uppers show hardly any wear. The only issue with a Matrix type uppers is breathability, they are warmer than a shoe with a mesh woven upper, but way more durable. It's a trade off I can live with.

New Merrel MTL adapt matryx is a really great shoe if you can get over the looks!

Have a look at ultra shoes that are built for long distance. I've got Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx which are alright, great on road actually but wet grip isn't the best. The Topo Vista is meant to be really comfortable if you're not doing anything too technical.

Check out Topo MTN Racers, I use V3. I also use the Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx for ultra and long training, but I'm a little bit unsure yet if they're right for me.

Lol. Mine have got zero tread left and still going strong. Yours look newer. Much dirtier but newer. Either latest Xodus Ultra or maybe the Merrell Agility Peak 5 or Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx works for a similar food shape.
