Last February 11, leading outdoor global brand Merrell launched its latest gear, the MQM Flex, during BTR\u2019s Bravehearts Run 2018 at Alapaap Mountain. Short for \u201cMoving Quickly in the Mountains\u201d, the MQM is today\u2019s newest hybrid shoe made for both hiking and trail running. Inspired by athletes and mountaineers, this shoe offers the best of what a core hiking boot and an athletic trail runner has to offer in one awesome package.<\/p>\n

The event was packed with trail runners and attended by personalities including Ivan Dorschner, Lauren Reid, Alex Diaz, Sarah Black, Luke Jickain, Loren Burgos, Jay Gonzaga, and Cris Lomotan.<\/p>\n

Luke Jickain compared the trail runs that he did in Hawaii with his Bravehearts experience: \u201cIt\u2019s actually very hard for a 7k trail run. I did runs before in Oahu in Hawaii, it was friendly compared to this. But, it\u2019s good because I get to test my new shoes and it\u2019s very comfortable and it didn\u2019t hurt my feet at all. It\u2019s really good!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jay Gonzaga shared his first trail run experience: \u201cIt\u2019s my first time actually and I\u2019m excited to try trail running and itong<\/em> MQM Flex. Tinry ko siyang itakbo<\/em> while matarik siya,<\/em> ok siya dahil hindi sumasakit yung paa ko<\/em>. Pinakafavorite ko<\/em> nung nasa<\/em> peak na, nung nakita<\/em> ko yung<\/em> sea of clouds.\u201d<\/p>\n

[It’s my first time actualkly and I’m excited to try trail running and the MQM Flex. I tried running on them while going uphill and they worked great; my feet didn’t hurt at all. My favorite moment was seeing the sea of clouds when I reached the summit.]<\/p>\n

Couple influencers Loren Burgos and Cris Lomotan also shared their experience while on the trail: \u201cIt was really fun actually. My favorite part would be going up and then just losing my breath. It\u2019s so challenging pero pagkatapos<\/em> you just feel so good once you\u2019re at the top and you see the beautiful view.\u201d When asked about their Merrell pair: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty comfortable and it\u2019s not slippery. Maganda yung<\/em> grip niya.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
