This Looked AMAZING on Paper… | Merrell MTL SpeedArc Peak First Run Review | Run4Adventure

Merrell MTL SpeedArc Peak review - first run and first impressions. Being a big fan of Merrell trail running shoes, I got all excited when I heard the brand was working on its first ever carbon-plated performance trail shoe! It looked like they’d gone to town on the construction of the Merrell MTL SpeedArc Peak, using PEBA foam in the midsole, MATRYX fabric for the upper and VIBRAM Megagrip Elite rubber on the outsole.

I think you’ll agree that’s a pretty impressive list of components, but I wondered how they’d all come together out on the trails. I guess there’s only one way to find out, so let’s jump into the video and take Merrell’s latest trail running creation out for its first run!

Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always – stay safe and keep on running!
