- STICKYGRIP Outsole: 8mm STICKYGRIP rubber, talon-like studs deliver exceptional traction on soft mud, while also clinging onto wet rocks or harder trails. Underfoot a flexible META-SHANK rock plate protects you from sharp rocks, without compromising on ground-feel.
- POWERFLOW PRO Midsole: With more cushioning than its cousin, the MUDTALON SPEED, the MUDTALON is a great choice for everyday training or longer races. The super-lightweight POWERFLOW PRO foam midsole provides high levels of cushioning, while still allowing the ground-feel needed for running over uneven, technical terrain.
- Ballistic Nylon Upper: Tough ballistic nylon provides excellent protection against wear and snags. At the same time a gusseted tongue stops debris entering the shoe and a toe guard protects against trail hazards. Thick MET-CRADLE strips connect the midfoot to the heel, creating a locked-in feel when you tighten the laces.
- BOOMERANG Footbed: Preserve your energy on long runs with the BOOMERANG Footbed. The insoles feature hundreds of foam beads that compress and spring back for 40% energy return during your stride. Perfect for longer runs where maximising every bit of energy counts.
- Choice Of Fits: The MUDTALON hugs the natural contours of your foot for an anatomical fit. Available in Precision and Wide fits. Go Precision Fit if you have narrow feet or like a closer feel. Go Wide Fit if you have wide feet or would like more room when running longer distances.
Meet the MUDTALON: a trail & fell running shoe for everyday training over any distance on soft and muddy ground. Built for hills, mountains and mud, the MUDTALON provides superior grip on any terrain you’ll encounter. Talon-like 8mm studs will gouge through soft mud, but also cling to wet rock for dependable grip and traction. The unique goat's hoof shape of the studs also release the mud just as quick once you push off, keeping you feeling light and in control. The MUDTALON benefits from our lightest midsole foam yet: POWERFLOW PRO. Compared to the MUDTALON SPEED, the MUDTALON has a slightly thicker midsole, to give greater comfort and bounce over long distances. Despite the cushioning, the shoe’s midsole has been designed in such a way that you can still feel and respond to the ground beneath you – something that’s particularly important when running in the hills and mountains. The brand-new anatomical shape of the MUDTALON hugs the natural contours of your foot, locking in at the heel and widening at the toes for a secure, comfortable feel. Built into that we have two new specific fits for MUDTALON - Precision Fit and Wide Fit. The biggest difference between the two fits is the width at the toe-box, with the Wide fit being wider: - Go Precision Fit if you have narrow feet or like a closer, more secure feel. It allows for greater nimbleness and agility when running and contouring over steep or tricky terrain. - Go Wide Fit if you have wider feet or like an extra comfortable feel with more wiggle room for toes. It allows for greater comfort when running longer distances, when toes can often swell. A secure, locked-in feel at the heel is achieved by a MET-CRADLE. Thick overlay strips connect your midfoot to your heel, which pulls in when you tighten your laces. Underfoot, a flexible ROCK-PLATE protects your feet against sharp rocks and tree roots. The MUDTALON's tough upper is made from ballistic nylon. This rugged and robust material will protect against wear from vegetation and rocks when in the hills and mountains. If you're looking for an everyday training shoe for soft and muddy ground, the MUDTALON has all the grip, cushioning and protective features you could wish for.
