FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speed Strike 2 Trek is designed for durability and comfort; however, they are not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Avoid heavy immersion.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable and lightweight, they are categorized as trainers for trekking and daily activities, not specialized long-distance running shoes.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Do these come in other widths?
The current line follows standard sizing protocols; it is recommended to reference the size guide for specific UK measurements.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the trainers. Spot cleaning is the recommended method.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces for a tighter lockdown or consider using an aftermarket insole for a more personalized fit.
Material stiffness
The shoe may require a short break-in period; wear them for 30-minute intervals over several days to allow the upper materials to soften.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Check the tread for embedded stones or debris. If the sole is clean and still slippery, ensure you are walking with a deliberate heel-to-toe stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speed Strike 2 Trek trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as a proper fit is essential for preventing friction points.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or debris after outdoor use with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and synthetic materials.
