FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for rocky terrain?

Yes, the durable upper and specialized outsole are designed to provide protection and traction on rocky trails.

Do these shoes need to be broken in?

As they are made with leather, it is recommended to wear them on shorter walks before heading out on long, strenuous hikes.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during activity.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

While they are waterproof, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures, so pair them with thick wool socks if using in cool weather.

How often should I clean the exterior?

We recommend wiping down the shoes after each hike to prevent dirt and mud from drying into the leather and degrading the material.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or pressure points

Adjust the lacing tension and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness.

Reduced waterproof performance over time

Clean the exterior thoroughly and apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for leather footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Strike 2, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Cleaning: After each hike, brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristle brush. For deeper cleaning, use water and a mild soap solution.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can damage the leather and waterproof adhesives.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the upper material.
  4. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
