FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
No, they are specifically engineered for trail terrain. Using them on roads will lead to accelerated wear on the specialized outsole lugs.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash only to protect the specialized adhesives and fabric tension.
What does 'MTL' stand for?
MTL stands for Merrell Test Lab, which represents the brand's innovation center where elite athletes test and refine product designs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The MTL SpeedArc Peak prioritizes breathability and lightweight performance; they are not marketed as waterproof.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They feature a performance-oriented fit. If you prefer extra room in the toe box for long-distance swelling, some runners choose to go up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are secured snugly using a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Use a pair of compatible trail gaiters to seal the collar area during runs in loose gravel or sand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the MTL SpeedArc Peak is a performance-first shoe, ensuring the correct fit is critical; consider wearing your preferred trail-running socks during fitting to accommodate the snug, athletic silhouette. To maintain the structural integrity and performance of the specialized outsole, avoid using these trainers on asphalt or concrete surfaces, as excessive road use will prematurely wear down the aggressive lugs. For cleaning, remove loose mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after each run. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wash them by hand using cold water and a mild detergent. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the performance materials.
