If you don’t have time to read our entire Merrell Morphlite review then all you need to know is this – it’s a fantastic road-to-trail running shoe, that’s super lightweight, supportive, grippy, and affordable. It’s easily become one of my new favourite running shoes and if you’re someone who often runs on the road, but also likes to venture off the beaten track onto easy forest paths, or cycle routes, it may well become yours too.
Merrell has a hiking heritage and over the last few years the brand has ventured into trail running shoes with the likes of the Long Sky and SkyFire 2, but the Morphlite bridges the gap between road and trail. I think it’s a smart move on Merrell’s behalf, as more people are running and spending time outdoors, like myself. It’s £100/$100 is intriguing too, especially as these days, new trainers just seem to be getting more and more expensive, but not the Morphlite.
