Full details

These shoes excel at keeping your feet dry and comfortable on varied terrain thanks to a waterproof membrane and breathable mesh lining, though they are specifically engineered for moderate trail use rather than heavy-duty mountaineering.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Speed Strike 2 has a standard athletic fit. If you typically require wide sizing, we recommend trying a half-size up or testing them with thinner socks.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

While they offer grip and protection, they are not insulated. They are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking.

How do I know if they are waterproof?

These shoes feature a specialized waterproof membrane designed to keep external moisture out while allowing internal sweat vapor to escape.

Is the sole removable?

Yes, the EVA foam footbed is fully removable, making it easy to clean or replace.

How often should I treat the leather?

Depending on usage, applying a light leather treatment every 3-6 months helps prevent cracking and maintains the material's water-repelling properties.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels worn out

The EVA foam footbed is removable; you can replace it with a third-party performance insole if you require more arch support or cushioning.

Water leaking during heavy rain

Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to seal the bellows tongue and consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and athletic feel for faster movement
  • Excellent traction on wet and slippery trails
  • Effective natural odour control
  • Protective design keeps out dirt and trail debris

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme mountaineering or technical climbing
  • Leather requires occasional care to maintain water resistance
  • Limited to moderate temperature ranges due to waterproof membrane

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Merrell Speed Strike 2 shoes last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them around your home or on short walks before committing to a long-distance trail to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, wipe away dirt using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally in a shaded area. Never leave them on a radiator or in direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the upper material and a waterproofing spray to rejuvenate the exterior water-repellent coating.
