The Long Sky 2 is a lightweight 9.45 ounces, with classic trail shoe lacing, a quick-dry build for when you inevitably dip a toe in a puddle, and a Vibram MegaGrip outsole for enhanced traction when you take that fateful next step after getting out of the puddle. These shoes also have a durable but soft midsole foam for a cushioned ride, even over tough terrain, and they're even vegan-friendly—no leather to be found here.
One said, “I’ve bought three pairs, in case of discontinuation,” and mentioned they “love the firm support of the sole—I don't like gushy shoes, like New Balance tend to be.” They also felt that the Long Sky 2 "has all the important features you want—properly anatomically designed, sturdy and lightweight—and none of the gimmicks.”

Another shopper recounted their time using Long Sky 2, highlighting their excellence in a variety of situations. “I have been using these the last few months for hiking, running, and walking on a mix of cement, asphalt, decomposed granite, dirt, and rock. The uppers and insides have held up well with no significant signs of wear. The tread is showing some wear, though nothing major. These shoes are extremely comfortable and I’ve had no blisters or even hotspots.”
You can now get Merrell MTL Long Sky 2 for your next jog for a price as low as $71, but as the Merrell May Sale continues, your size may sell out, so be sure to buy your pair now.
