Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Speed Strike 2 is designed for active hikers who want the protection of a traditional trail shoe combined with the lightweight, athletic performance of a modern sneaker. These shoes are ideal for trail use, offering excellent breathability and grip, though they lack the high-ankle support and heavy-duty weatherproofing found in more rugged, technical trekking boots.

FAQs
Are the Merrell Speed Strike 2 shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are designed with a ventilated mesh upper to promote maximum airflow and breathability in warm conditions.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild soap is the safest way to maintain the structural integrity and materials.
Are the footbeds replaceable?
Yes, the EVA foam footbeds are removable, allowing you to switch them out for custom orthotics or replace them once they wear down.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; however, since hiking involves swelling of the feet, many users prefer a half-size larger than their casual dress shoe.
How does the Cleansport NXT treatment work?
It uses natural, beneficial microbes to break down sweat and odors on the shoe lining, keeping them fresh throughout extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes accumulating interior moisture
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat.
Insole slipping or moving inside the shoe
Remove the EVA footbed, clean out any debris inside the shoe, and ensure the underside of the footbed is dry before re-inserting.
Exterior mesh appearing dirty or stained
Gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush and mild soap, then rinse with cold water and allow to air dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and agile design
- Excellent ventilation for warmer climates
- Reliable grip on diverse terrain
- Environmentally conscious material usage
- Fresh-keeping odor control treatment
Cons
- Low-cut ankle profile offers less stability on technical scree
- Not waterproof for heavy rain or deep mud
- Less cushioning compared to max-stack trail runners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure you have the correct size by wearing the specific socks you intend to use on the trail. The shoes feature a removable footbed, making them compatible with various orthotic inserts if required for arch support. To maintain your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy excursions to prevent grit from damaging the mesh fibers. Always allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can degrade the adhesive and the EVA foam midsole.
