FAQs

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Speed Strike 2 features a standard athletic fit, but the lace-up design allows for adjustable tension across the midfoot to accommodate varying foot volumes.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the boots come with a removable EVA foam footbed that can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics or third-party insoles.

How do I know if the size is correct?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot while wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Are these waterproof boots fully submersible?

While the membrane is waterproof, the boot is not designed for total submersion; water can enter over the top of the collar if you step into water deeper than the boot's height.

How often should I clean my boots?

It is recommended to clear off loose dirt after every hike and perform a deeper clean whenever they become heavily soiled to protect the leather and membrane.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel slippery on smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsole is free of caked-on mud or debris that can block the grip patterns of the rubber.

Unpleasant odor building up inside

Remove the EVA footbed, wash it separately, and let it air dry completely before replacing it inside the boot.

Water penetrating the boot

Check the leather surface for wear and apply a compatible waterproofing treatment if the leather shows signs of excessive saturation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and athletic feel for agile movement
  • Effective odor control with Cleansport NXT
  • Durable construction with high-quality leather
  • Excellent grip provided by the sticky rubber outsole
  • Mid-cut design offers beneficial ankle protection

Cons

  • May require a brief break-in period for the leather upper
  • Firm midsole feel might not suit those looking for maximum plush cushioning
  • Mid-cut design provides less ankle mobility than a low-top shoe

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first hike, ensure the boots are correctly laced to lock the heel in place, which prevents friction and potential blisters. To maintain the waterproof membrane and leather quality, avoid exposing the boots to excessive heat, such as placing them directly in front of a campfire or radiator. After hiking in muddy or wet conditions, remove the footbed, rinse off excess dirt with cool water, and allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Using leather-specific care products periodically will help keep the upper supple and extend the overall lifespan of the footwear.
