FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speed Strike 2 Trek is designed for versatility, but please check the specific product technical specifications for waterproofing ratings, as this model focuses primarily on breathability and comfort.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable and lightweight, they are primarily categorized as trekking and hiking shoes. They are best suited for hiking and walking rather than high-impact running.
How do I determine my size?
Merrell uses standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, but keep in mind that hiking socks are often thicker, so a thumb's width of space at the front is ideal.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them with your own preferred footbeds.
What kind of terrain are they best for?
They are ideal for moderate terrain including groomed trails, gravel, dirt paths, and paved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Dirt buildup in the outsole tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently remove debris from the grooves to maintain optimal grip.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted to lock the heel in place and consider using moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speed Strike 2 Trek shoes, keep the following tips in mind:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them around the house or on short walks before taking them on long-distance hikes.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after each use by brushing with a soft bristle brush. For deeper cleaning, use warm water and a mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that may degrade materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the adhesives and compromise the shoe's structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
