FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While they feature waterproof technology, they are designed primarily for agility and general terrain. They are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild cleaner intended for leather, then allow them to air dry naturally.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

How do I choose the correct size?

It is recommended to select your standard size, but always account for the thickness of your hiking socks. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally safer for hiking.

Can these be used for trail running?

While their athletic build allows for jogging, they are specifically engineered as hiking shoes with a focus on stability and protection rather than the high-cushion, forward-propulsion design of dedicated trail runners.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels damp inside after hiking in light rain

Check the waterproof membrane for damage or debris and ensure your socks are synthetic or wool, as cotton absorbs moisture and creates a damp sensation.

Outer leather surface looks dried out or dull

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or treatment specifically formulated for waterproof footwear to restore moisture balance.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable leather upper offers superior protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Speed Strike 2 shoes perform at their best, verify your fit by wearing the specific hiking socks you intend to use on the trail. For leather care, clean the surface using a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each hike. If the leather becomes heavily soiled, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid drying them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Always store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
