Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx // Another Great Uphill Running Shoe

Crush your climbs with the Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx! In this video, I take it on a full uphill workout to see why it feels so strong on long steady grades — and how it stacks up against the Craft Nordlite Ultra Pro from my previous video. If you’re looking for a comfortable, long distance uphill grinder, this one delivers. I break down the uphill mechanics, midsole feel, grip, fit, and where it outperforms (or falls short of) the Nordlite Ultra Pro. If you’ve been following the series (not planned!), this is the perfect follow-up test. ⛰️ Great for steady uphill running ⚡ Direct comparison to the Craft Nordlite Ultra Pro 🏃 Real-world hill workout test Watch to find out if the MTL Adapt Matryx is your new go-to climbing shoe! *MTL Adapt Matryx is 30% OFF for Backcountry members through 12/2* ➡️ Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx @ Backcountry ➡️ https://backcountry.tnu8.net/nXG27M ➡️ Nordlite Ultra Pro @ CRAFT ➡️ https://alnk.to/6mSfZdZ Humble Running x The Feed - 10% off for YOU! ➡️ https://rstr.co/the-feed/humblerunning *10% off not applicable through December 2 during Holiday Sale period* #trailrunning #merrell #shoereview 👉 The North Face vs Brooks vs Merrell | FULL Comparison & Review !!! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwjtTzLtmfY&list=PL6d8pVmxEoIRAuFZNn0E2jt4eerhUoNhZ 👉 Craft Nordlite Ultra Pro // Top Pick for Hill Workouts? // Maurten Gel 160 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEgFCj8DD-8&list=PL6d8pVmxEoIRAuFZNn0E2jt4eerhUoNhZ 👉 Trail Running Deals - HURRY!
