The mountain trail is always changing: speed, terrain, direction constantly vary. Trail athletes need durable, lightweight, protective shoes with amazing traction to give them the confidence to adapt at a moment’s notice. Designed for and tested by Merrell's best trail athletes, the MTL Skyfire is made with everything runners need (& nothing they don’t) to run fast through the most extreme and rugged environments.

Gore-Tex Invisible Fit Upper

From intense alpine sports to days hopping between warm cafes and cold streets, Gore-Tex protection keeps your feet dry and comfortable. Optimised to balance breathability with a waterproof shield, the body has been designed so that water drops can’t get in, but moisture vapour can escape through the billions of pores in the Gore-Tex membrane.

Engineered specifically for running shoes, Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology goes further than just protecting though. Still offering all the same benefits as the original, this edition has been optimised to give you the same fit and feel of non-protective running shoes. If you're training for an off-the-beaten-path or mountain race, this is the king of protection you'll want on race day.

TPU Heel Counter
Keeping the heel secure and encouraging a more natural position during your gait cycle, the TPU moulded heel counter helps you avoid any long-term injury from overpronation during extended hikes. By providing extra stability when the foot first strikes the ground, you're able to distribute impact forces more evenly and engage more support from the Achilles.
