Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx long run test. When I took the new Merrell MTL LONG SKY 2 MATRYX out for its first run, I was impressed with the level of comfort and underfoot protection it gave me, especially for a pretty lightweight, stripped back trail running shoe. I thought it would be a good idea to test them out over a longer distance, so in today’s video I lace up the LONG SKY 2 again and take them out for a longer run!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Good afternoon. Excellent description, Loyd. Here is my Like. A nice weekend for everyone.

@Acconda 3 месяца назад

Brilliant review! just got some on order! I only do short, but quick runs in the region of 5k - 10K and will hopefully be my only shoe for a while for tackling the UK trails. My old ones have given up lol. Got my fingers crossed as I wanted something more aggressive than the speedgoat 5 and agility 5 but softer underfoot than the speed cross

@Thefifaplayeryant 3 месяца назад

Got the MTL Long Sky 2 as my "bad weather"-shoe, great shoe, perfect outsole. Im mud there are better soles Oout there, but as there is always a bit of wet wood, wet Stones..., this sole ist the best compronise in my opinion. Good review, as always, cheers

@Terminatortx33 3 месяца назад

I see you matched the correct sock colour with these 😅. I still really love my Agility Peak 5 those - from the review on Run4Adventure.

@JohnM-xr6ch 3 месяца назад

Great review as usual! Are you going to cover the north face vectiv pro 2 ? Or the adidas terrex speed ultra?

@lesliedykstra4014 3 месяца назад

I have the MTL Long Sky 2 version, no problem with the durability and have had them over a yr, a good amount of miles. I got them because they were light wt, had a good outsole, no slippage, great through rivers, dries quickly. The rock plate, good toe box room, all very positive things, even attachments for gaiters. They were a little stiff the first wear and was afraid of heel issues as you said with the matryx, but was just that first time and have no issues with them since.

@adamsheret149 3 месяца назад

Hopefully see you on the start line of the 100k serpent trail. Fingers crossed training goes well

@Run4Adventure 3 месяца назад

Hopefully Adam, best of luck with your training 👍🙂

@chameaudave 2 месяца назад

Endend up buying the long sky 2 at a discount and then ordering the Matryx to use for an upcoming race.

@OrdMandrell1 3 месяца назад

Guess I'll be seeing you in Chamonix this year then. Super excited to meet you.

@Run4Adventure 3 месяца назад

Awesome! Are you running one of the races? 🙂

@OrdMandrell1 3 месяца назад

@@Run4Adventure Yup. I got into UTMB (I had loads of stones from running Andorra, Julian Alps and Istria). It's going to be the adventure of a lifetime.

@Run4Adventure 3 месяца назад

@@OrdMandrell1 That’s fantastic, well done! You’ll love it, it’s an incredible experience 😁

@JackCastle 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the review Lloyd! Would you take to a technical mountain 50k in the alps (UTMB eiger)? Looking for an alternative to the Genesis, which I love but beats up my toes at that distance.

@patricksaunders2674 3 месяца назад

I loved these except the hard heel cup, I couldn’t get them to work with getting a really sore heel. Might try the non matryx version with a more padded heel.

@stephenmiro6267 3 месяца назад

How's the fit compared to something like the Wildhorse 8? And are you going to get a chance to review the VJ Maxx 2? Thanks!

@Acconda 3 месяца назад

Hi Loyd, wondering if are you going to try the HNNORMAL KJERAG at any point ? :) cheers

@danscape 3 месяца назад

Is the New Balance Venym on the list to test? Haven't see it appear on any RU-vid channels yet.

@Trailrunner1978 3 месяца назад

I have a question, which faster trail shoe of all you have tried, is the best on road? And which road shoe would be best for mixed terrain?

@karinjacobsson5947 2 месяца назад

Thanks for a great review! Would you prefer the Salomon S lab Pulsar 3 over this shoe?

@Run4Adventure 2 месяца назад

I actually really enjoy running in both shoes! I’d need to spend more time in each shoe before I could answer that question 👍🙂

@GingerApeNutrition 3 месяца назад

What shorts do you wear in this video?

@Acconda 3 месяца назад

Got mine today to try, just in the house to see if I like them. Yeah the hard back heal cup maybe of a concern, but I do love them other than that. Maybe a sock with some reinforcement in the back of heal? I have the agility 5 new in a box as well for comparison and the heal is much better but not sure on them for me, deffo prefer the long sky 2. Uhmmmmmmmm 🤔

@NewSkiwi 3 месяца назад

I think the ankle injinji socks could be good for padding around the heel/ankle.

@Acconda 3 месяца назад

@@NewSkiwi thank you, just ordered some to try

@robertlynn9667 2 месяца назад

I wonder if the Matryx upper is the reason for the more volume in the toe box?

@Run4Adventure 2 месяца назад

I think it’s just a wider, deeper toe box Jamie 🤔

@adamandlorraine 3 месяца назад

Let's see how the uppers hold up after 150km. That's when my LONGSKY 2 standard edition fell apart.

@mistersmith3986 3 месяца назад

Dear running companies. Stop with the Clown Colors please.

@Acconda 3 месяца назад

I actually like these ones :) but yeah would have also like the option of just black perhaps.

@killthedonkey540 3 месяца назад

Hi Loyd! Went for a first run in these the other day (definitely no longer white) washed them off and was a bit concerned that the dye seems to have rubbed off at the flex points already. Did this happen with yours? Seems like a great shoe otherwise!

@Run4Adventure 3 месяца назад

Hi there My first run was pretty muddy to and I had to give the shoe a good wash when I got home but I haven’t had any issues with the dye rubbing off? 🤔 I’ll keep and eye on it but it looks good at the moment 👍 Glad you enjoyed your run and thanks for watching 🙏

@killthedonkey540 3 месяца назад

@@Run4Adventure Perhaps we just have very abrasive mud up North? 🤔 Hoping they hold up!

@@killthedonkey540 I hope so, because it’s a nice shoe to run in 🤞🤞🤞
