I am very critical when it comes to shoes. I actually think I have a running shoe addiction; some (like my wife) would call it a problem. In the past 12 months I have tried a few shoes and the collection in my closet includes: Saucony Peregrine, Saucony Kinvara, Brooks Cascadia 7, Salomon xt wings 2, New Balance Trail 110 and Merrell Trail Gloves. Out of this bunch the Trail Gloves worked best, however I was struggling to find a shoe to take to the trails for my 20+ mile runs as the TG's were just a little too light for me. Enter the Mix Master 2's, referred to me by my chiropractor who is also an ultra runner.As with the TG's, these shoes feel like they were made for me and my feet. They are snug where I want them to be (around the heel) while giving me the space I need around the toes. They feel just right and they are light...something that turns out to be very important to me. For example, a 50 mi run would take about 80,000 total strides, meaning each shoe is lifted 40,000 times. There are 32,000 ounces in a ton, etc. Makes sense that every ounce saved counts, a LOT.These shoes also have good ventilation - I've gotten them wet while running and they dry out quicker than anything I've owned to date - and they appear to be durable (no issues so far and I know the first generation Mix Master was redesigned to eliminate some of the durability concerns).They also look good and they make me feel fast.Bottom-line, I have decided that I am now a Merrell running shoe fan for life. If you are looking for a lightweight shoe that will provide enough cushioning to cover the long distances or provide a little more protection while still giving you a neutral and close to the ground feel, these are the shoes for you.One thing to point out, I had to go one full size down on these, so beware if you're buying online. And don't get suckered into buying your running shoes too large - too large can injure you just as much as too small and, no, your feet will not swell 1/2 an inch in length, no matter how far you run...

I keep 2 pairs of trail running shoes. The first, my daily runner, is to be flat, highly flexible and with a very thin sole. The second pair is used for long (>20miles), rocky trails where I have found I require a bit more rock protection. I wore out a pair of NB MT101s in this second role, and needed a new pair of shoes for an upcoming race. The Mix Master II appeared to be a good fit, and I have logged ~200 miles in them now.What I found: My first run was sockless, with the inserts. ~5 miles with good rocky climbs/descents. The majority of my running prior to this was in Merrell Trailgloves, and I was shocked at how high off the ground I felt and how `cushy' the sole was. The 4mm drop was also strange to me, and I struggled a bit with some heel striking on the downhills. I quickly got over this, and now the shoe feels good underfoot, though I still have some issues with the stack height, I'm less steady on my feet with the extra height. Still, I was able to FLY downhill without fear of trashing my feet. And the soles gripped well going back up. Now I have found that socks are necessary, but I removed the insert. I can feel the rocks underneath, but only that they are present. The whole shoe is a bit more flexible that the MT101, and rides nicely. My only problems have been that the slight point to the toe of the shoe puts some pressure on my BIG TOES, which really only becomes an issue after 10 miles. At that point it starts becoming distracting, and heading toward mild pain. I don't think these will work well for me as very long distance shoes, but I have done 20 miles without issue. The more downhill in the run, the more an issue (and the 20 miles was the Shut In trail race, or all uphill.) Also, I should point out that the cleats will grab mud and hold onto it. My second run in the shoes was through some of the sticky stuff, and the shoes were much heavier after the run.The soles look good with only a little wear showing in my typical wear pattern. The upper is typical of Merrell, and I expect the shoes to last a long while.

I've been buying Merrell hiking shoes for years, but this is my first purchase of their running shoe line. I usually use vivobarefoot for trail running, but I forgot to pack them for a recent trip and snatched up Merrell's Mix Master from a local shopThese shoes are quite sturdy and very light. They breathe a lot more than my usual trail runners, because about 85-90% of the shoe is light meshThe overall feel is similar to a vibram in terms of a 'naked' foot feel, but there is no toe grip obviously so the sensation is not completeSole is moderately treaded with about 1/8 inch bumps placed at 1/4 to 1/2 inch intervals, fair enough for light to moderate trailsThe one thing I do not like is that you have to be careful of small roots, as the thin mesh might get damaged easier than huskier counterparts, but like I said these shoes are for your light to moderate trails, so just be careful taking these into wild areas
