Description

The Skyfire 2 is a direct racing shoe for short to mid-distance trail races on technical terrain. It is light, responds quickly and leaves little between your foot and the trail.

On steep climbs and fast descents you notice the flexible plate and the aggressive lugs: you push off powerfully and keep grip on wet and dry rock. The plate protects your forefoot when you land on sharp stones.

The Kevlar upper barely stretches and makes the shoe feel like an extension of your foot. For easy long runs or long ultras where comfort matters more than speed, it is less suitable.

Choose it to race. For training and long days, the Agility Peak 6 or Long Sky 2 are more comfortable.

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 races is the Skyfire 2 Matryx made for?

For short to mid-distance trail races on technical terrain, with steep climbs and fast descents. The shoe is light and direct, with little between your foot and the trail.

Can I also use it for long training runs?

You can, but it is made for racing. For easy long runs or ultras, the Long Sky 2 or the Agility Peak 6 are more comfortable.

Does the Skyfire 2 run small or large?

Take your usual running shoe size. The fit is rather narrow than roomy, so try it first if you have a wide foot.

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.
