Description

The Long Sky 2 is a fast, light trail shoe for mid- to long-distance trail races. It was developed with Merrell's top athletes and lets you hold your pace when the course gets technical.

The Kevlar-thread upper has little stretch, so your foot stays in place on steep paths and in corners. You notice that especially near the end of a long race, when you run less sharply on technical ground but still want to stay fast.

The ETPU footbed gives extra energy return and the outsole grips on wet and dry ground. The cushioning is medium. If you want maximum cushioning or a roomy fit, another shoe suits you better.

Choose it to run fast on technical ultras. For easy training days there are more comfortable options.

Why Merrell?

A long trail rarely stays on the path. It gets rocky, wet or muddy, and that is when you want a shoe you can trust. That is exactly why we carry Merrell at Trail.NL.

Merrell builds trail shoes with Vibram outsoles for grip and cushioned midsoles for long distances. The faster MTL models have a Matryx upper reinforced with Kevlar. From the Agility Peak for long days in the mountains to the MTL range for racing: there is a model for training and for racing.

For us, Merrell is above all a reliable trail shoe: plenty of grip, good cushioning and a no-nonsense fit.

Frequently asked questions

Which distances is the Long Sky 2 Matryx suited for?

For mid- to long-distance trail races and ultras on technical terrain. The cushioning is medium, so the shoe is made to run fast rather than for maximum comfort.

What is the difference with the Skyfire 2?

The Long Sky 2 is meant for longer distances and has an ETPU footbed for extra energy return. The Skyfire 2 is more direct and made for short to mid-distance races, with a flexible plate in the sole.

Which size should I choose?

Take your usual running shoe size.

Can I use my own insole?

Yes, the insole is removable, so you can replace it with your own (orthopaedic) insole. Keep in mind that thickness and shape can change the volume in the shoe.
