FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
While they feature Trek technology, they are designed primarily as hybrid trainers. For extreme, technical alpine terrain, a specialized hiking boot may be more appropriate.
How do I determine my size for the Speed Strike 2?
Since sizing can vary across variants, it is best to consult the specific size guide provided by the retailer for your MPN, as fit may differ between the suede and polyester models.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive layers. Stick to hand-cleaning with a soft brush.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not list a waterproof membrane. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
How do I clean the suede versions?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid using water directly on the suede as it can leave permanent stains.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and try a different lacing technique to relieve specific areas. Verify that the size is appropriate for your foot shape.
Material showing signs of water staining
Use a gentle, appropriate cleaner for the specific material type (e.g., suede vs. polyester) and allow to dry fully in a ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speed Strike 2 trainers, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity and adhesive bonds. For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and mud. If your variant features suede, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner to maintain the texture. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the material from cracking or warping. Ensure you reference your specific MPN (e.g., J00005799) when checking for fit, as sizing may vary slightly based on the specific manufacturing batch and material used in your particular pair.
