MTL Long Sky 2 is a technical trail model developed and validated with Merrell athletes as an update to the 2020 MTL Long Sky. Its lightweight FloatPro midsole balances cushioning and rebound, while Vibram Megagrip rubber with 5 mm lugs supports braking and traction on wet, changing mountain terrain. Quick-dry construction and an internal bootie hold the foot securely through long runs without muting trail feel.
