A Reliable Trail Runner with Superior Traction and Optimal Cushioning
Push your limits with the Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx, a trail runner engineered to take you farther, faster, and with more confidence on rugged terrain. Designed for trail enthusiasts and endurance runners alike, this shoe blends cutting-edge materials with Merrell’s race-ready performance DNA.

The Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole with 5 mm lugs gives you confidence on wet, rocky, or muddy surfaces.
