MTL Long Sky

TrailRelease 2020-03JP

MTL Long Sky was developed with athletes for long-distance trail running. A reinforced mesh upper and internal bootie secure the foot, while an EVA midsole combines cushioning with a firmer medial post for arch support. Split forefoot and heel sections of Vibram Megagrip rubber balance wet-ground traction with flexibility, and a TPU heel counter supports stable landings.
