Merrell Speed Strike 2 GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes - Grey - Size 14

The GORE-TEX® waterproofing provides protection from snow and moisture, but these shoes are not insulated. For very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks or a more insulated boot.

The recycled materials can be cleaned using the same method as the rest of the shoe: a damp cloth with mild soap and water, followed by air drying.

Yes, the shoes come with a removable 50% recycled EVA foam footbed that can be replaced with your preferred aftermarket insoles for custom comfort and support.

The GORE-TEX® lining provides durable waterproofing and breathability, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration to escape.

While they have an athletic style and good traction, they are designed primarily as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a shoe specifically engineered for that purpose might offer better responsiveness and protection.

This refers to a proprietary rubber compound developed by Merrell that is designed to offer high friction and a reliable grip on a variety of terrains, wet or dry.

Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that no water is entering over the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Sweat can also contribute to dampness; ensure appropriate hiking socks are worn.

The Merrell sticky rubber outsole is designed for grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, which can reduce traction.

Ensure the correct size has been chosen. The removable EVA footbed can be replaced with an aftermarket insole for personalized support if needed.
