Trail2024-02-21 · JP · AnnouncedChecked 2026-11-09

MT-5 is an entry-level trail runner for mild-to-moderate trails and road-to-trail routes. Compared with MT-4, it adds cushioning and changes from a 3 mm to 5 mm drop around an updated ZipFoam midsole. A flexible Vibram XS Trek EVO outsole handles mixed surfaces, while recycled materials in the mesh upper, liner and insole accompany a roomy toe box and secure midfoot and heel.
