FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speed Strike 2 Trek focuses on breathability and comfort; while they are durable, they are not specifically labeled as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are athletic trainers, they are specifically tuned for trekking and hiking rather than high-impact road or track running.
How do I determine the right size?
Consult a standard UK sizing chart and measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the provided insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a stiff brush or a hose with moderate water pressure to dislodge mud and stones from the traction grooves.
Troubleshooting
Outer material is scuffed after trail use
Use a soft brush to remove debris, then apply a water-repellent treatment or leather/synthetic cleaner compatible with the upper material.
Foot feels unstable on uneven terrain
Check that the laces are tightened correctly using all eyelets, ensuring a secure midfoot lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trek trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your trainers for short periods around your home before taking them on longer treks to allow the material to conform to your feet.
- Size Selection: Ensure you verify your UK sizing as Merrell fits vary slightly by series. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit comfortably within the current footbed space.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after each outing. If they get muddy, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
