A Waterproof Trail Sneaker Built for Anything

Built for the trail but refined in its execution, the Merrell x Snow Peak Speed Arc Matis GTX Trail Sneaker brings together Merrell’s technical expertise and Snow Peak’s elevated outdoor design. It is a collaboration that focuses on performance first, without losing sight of clean aesthetics and everyday versatility.


For a more city focused performance option, check out the On Cloudswift Amp which delivers responsive cushioning and a clean design built for urban movement rather than rugged terrain.


At its core is a GORE TEX waterproof membrane, keeping feet dry and comfortable in changing conditions. Whether you are dealing with wet trails or unpredictable weather, it delivers reliable protection without sacrificing breathability. The lightweight synthetic upper adds durability while maintaining flexibility, making it suitable for longer days on the move.

Underfoot, a Vibram outsole provides strong grip and stability across varied terrain. It is built to handle everything from loose gravel to uneven ground, giving you confidence with every step. Reflective details across the laces and webbing add visibility in low light situations, a subtle but useful feature for early starts or late finishes.


If you need something closer in spirit but more trail ready, the Salomon Ultra Glide 4 offers strong cushioning and grip, making it a reliable option for longer runs on mixed terrain.


The result is a trail sneaker that balances technical performance with a refined outdoor look. It is designed to handle demanding environments while still feeling at home in everyday settings, making it a versatile option for both trail and city use.
