FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trainers are designed for general athletic use and light outdoor activities, not specifically for marathon running. For long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the trainers come with a removable EVA footbed, which can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics or other preferred insoles.
How do I clean the suede and mesh materials?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For the mesh and synthetic parts, a damp cloth with mild soap is effective. Always air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials, making them suitable for dry conditions but not for heavy rain or submersion in water.
What is the best way to ensure a good fit?
It is recommended to try the trainers on, preferably later in the day when feet are slightly swollen. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for trail walking, light hiking, everyday wear, and general fitness activities that require good grip and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thicker socks or exploring the possibility of using insoles if the shoes feel slightly loose.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or stones, and clean them off. The sticky rubber compound performs best on clean surfaces.
Shoes feel stiff
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will soften with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trainers require no specific setup beyond putting them on. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general athletic use and light outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Lining and Footbed: The removable EVA footbed can be taken out for separate cleaning. Ensure both the footbed and the shoe's interior are dry before reinserting.
