Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Speed Strike 2 Vented Hiking Shoes are designed for active adults who prioritize a lightweight, athletic feel during trail hikes and outdoor adventures. These shoes excel in warm conditions thanks to their highly breathable mesh upper, though users should be aware that their open-vented design is intended for dry, moderate terrain rather than wet, technical mountain conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are designed specifically for ventilation and airflow and are not waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While they are athletic and lightweight, they are designed as hiking shoes and prioritize stability for trekking rather than the specific mechanics of running.
How do I deal with odours?
The shoes come with Cleansport NXT treatment to control odours naturally. Keep them clean and well-aired to maintain this effectiveness.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, they feature a removable EVA foam footbed, making them compatible with custom orthotics.
What is the best terrain for these shoes?
They are best suited for moderate hiking trails, walking paths, and gravel surfaces in dry weather.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during trail use
Due to the vented mesh, fine dust may enter. We recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic hiking socks to manage comfort.
Footbed feels less cushioned over time
The EVA foam footbed is removable and replaceable. Check if it has compressed and replace it with a new insert if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Strike 2 shoes, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the shoes are snug but not tight. The removable EVA footbed allows you to swap in custom orthotics if required for additional support.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the mesh.
- Drying: Air dry only in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning and glue bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using the heel loop to hang the shoes can assist in drying out moisture after a long day of use.
