FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Merrell Speed Strike 2 are designed for light activities and everyday comfort. While they can be used for casual jogging, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the support and cushioning needed for serious training.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics for personalized support and comfort.
How should I clean the trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat. Avoid machine washing.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
They are best suited for everyday wear, walking, light gym activities, and casual outings where comfort and ease of movement are priorities.
Is there a specific way to tie the laces?
Use a standard lacing technique that allows for a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are not overly tight, especially around the ankle, to avoid discomfort.
What makes the cushioning 'lightweight'?
The EVA midsole is a foam material known for its excellent shock absorption properties while remaining very light in weight, contributing to the overall comfort and reducing foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the removable insole contributes to a snugger fit.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle area. The padded cuff should provide comfort; check for any debris trapped in the padding.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning. If it feels diminished, consider replacing the removable EVA footbed with a new one for renewed comfort.
Difficulty pulling shoes on
Use the designated pull tab at the heel. Ensure your heel is fully aligned within the shoe before pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. The Merrell Speed Strike 2 are designed as trainers, making them compatible with casual wear and athletic apparel. They are not specifically designed for formal occasions or heavy-duty work environments.
Care: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. The removable EVA footbed can be taken out and cleaned separately with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
