Our take on the Merrell SpeedARC Matis

The Merrell SpeedARC Matis is a men's fast-hiking shoe built for moving quickly on trails. It pairs a TPU and mesh upper with a Vibram MegaGrip outsole and 3mm lugs, and Merrell lists torsional rigidity and lateral stability as its support story. At 10.6 oz it sits in the light-hiker class rather than the burly boot class. The best new price is $89.83 at REI as of November 4, 2026, with 9 stores selling it new.

Pros
  • Vibram MegaGrip outsole with 3mm lugs for wet rock and loose dirt
  • Light at 10.6 oz for a hiking shoe
  • Torsional rigidity and lateral stability for uneven ground
  • Water-repellent upper and toe caps for scuff protection
  • Resolable, which extends the shoe's life
  • Available in non-waterproof and GORE-TEX versions
Cons
  • Base version is not waterproof
  • 3mm lugs are shallow for mud and soft ground
  • TPU-heavy upper can feel stiff and warm
  • No APMA seal, so not marketed as a foot-health shoe
  • Men's sizing only, 7 to 14

Questions and answers

Is the SpeedARC Matis worth it at $89.83?
At $89.83 at REI as of November 4, 2026, it is a reasonable price for a Vibram-soled hiking shoe. Compare it with the GORE-TEX version if you hike in wet conditions.
How does it compare with the GORE-TEX version?
Same shoe and outsole, but the GORE-TEX version adds waterproof protection and costs more. The standard version breathes better and dries faster.
Is it waterproof?
The base SpeedARC Matis is not waterproof; it has a water-repellent upper. Choose the Mid GORE-TEX version for wet trails.
What is the weight and sizing?
It weighs 10.6 oz and comes in men's sizes 7 to 14. It is a low-cut shoe with a lace-up closure.
Can the sole be replaced?
Yes, Merrell lists it as resolable. A cobbler can replace the Vibram outsole when the lugs wear down.
When is it cheapest?
Trail shoes usually drop during end-of-season sales and around major holidays. Track the price history here rather than buying at full price.
