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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
@Acconda4 ай бұрын
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 🤔

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

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?

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!
@Run4Adventure4 ай бұрын
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 🙏
