Merrell Test Lab's race day shoe for mountains and single track. Fifteen percent lighter than the shoe it replaces, and built to be run fast rather than to last forever.
Single-layer Matryx upper, a Kevlar-reinforced woven textile that barely stretches and dries quickly, over a FloatPro foam midsole. Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5mm lugs for steep and loose ground.
This is a racing shoe. Buy it for race day and hard efforts, not for daily miles.
