MTL Adapt Matryx Trail Running Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This shoe is a rocket on gravel. The Matryx® upper is crazy light but super tough—I don’t worry about wear and tear, and the FloatPro™ midsole has that perfect combo of cushion and energy return. Great lockdown, great grip, and it holds up over the long haul."

We run longer and push harder in the MTL Adapt Matryx® Trail Running Shoe, a purpose-built gravel and road shoe that blends ultralight construction with unmatched durability. The Kevlar®-reinforced Matryx® upper offers incredible abrasion resistance and breathability, keeping us cool and protected on mixed surfaces and high-mileage days.

Underfoot, a FloatPro™ foam midsole delivers soft landings with responsive rebounds, helping us stay light on our feet even when the miles start stacking. From early morning runs to endurance pushes, the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole ensures traction when we hit gravel, wet pavement, or hard-packed dirt. Elastic lace keepers, reflective accents, and abrasion-ready overlays seal the deal on this precision-engineered trainer.
