Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be worn on pavement, they are specifically engineered for trail use and will wear out faster if used primarily on hard, abrasive surfaces.
Does the MTL SpeedArc Peak offer waterproofing?
These trainers focus on breathability and moisture management rather than full waterproofing, allowing for quicker drying after stream crossings.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These are performance-fit shoes. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front, as feet tend to swell during long trail runs.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and accommodate most custom orthotic inserts.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Synthetic or merino wool technical running socks are recommended to minimize friction and manage moisture effectively.
Are these shoes gender-specific?
The MTL SpeedArc Peak is designed as a unisex performance trainer to accommodate a wide range of athletic foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining a secure fit.
Slippage inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the heel is fully seated in the back of the shoe and use the top 'runner's loop' eyelet to create a tighter lock around the ankle.
Outsole losing traction due to mud buildup
Use a specialized trail shoe brush to clear debris from between the lugs to restore optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MTL SpeedArc Peak trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Before committing to a long-distance race, perform several short-to-medium length runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each run using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Never place these shoes in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the performance adhesives and foam.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor development.
