FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speed Strike 2 Trek is designed for versatility but is not inherently waterproof; we recommend using a spray-on repellent if you anticipate wet conditions.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
These are best for day hikes and light trekking. For heavy backpacking with a full load, a shoe with more structural ankle support is usually recommended.
How do I find my size?
These shoes follow standard adult sizing. It is best to measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Do these require a break-in period?
Most users find them comfortable right out of the box, but light use over a few days is recommended to ensure a perfect fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider using an aftermarket insole if you require specific arch support.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a stiff brush or a blunt tool to clear small rocks or mud trapped between the lugs after your hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trek shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new shoes indoors or on short walks initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy excursions, remove dried dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for stubborn stains.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can warp materials and damage adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and structural integrity of the upper fabrics.
