FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

The Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trek trainers are designed for everyday wear and light outdoor activities. While they offer good traction and comfort, they may not provide the necessary support or aggressive tread for challenging hiking trails. For serious hiking, consider Merrell's dedicated hiking boot collection.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoes?

You can use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Can I remove the insole?

Yes, the trainers feature a removable EVA footbed. This allows for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.

What is the primary benefit of the sticky rubber outsole?

The Merrell sticky rubber outsole is designed to provide optimal traction on a variety of surfaces, ensuring a secure footing during everyday activities and light adventures.

How should I care for the suede accents?

For best results, use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove light dirt. Avoid water saturation. Consider using a suede protector spray to enhance resistance to stains and moisture.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not specified as waterproof. They feature breathable mesh uppers which are designed for ventilation, not water resistance.

What kind of activities are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for casual wear, walking, light jogging, travel, and everyday activities where comfort, style, and reliable grip on urban and light trail surfaces are desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly. For a looser fit, slacken them. Ensure the heel is properly seated before lacing.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For optimal grip, avoid surfaces that are excessively slippery. The sticky rubber outsole provides best performance on dry to damp surfaces.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Check if the removable EVA footbed needs replacing or if custom orthotics are required. Allow feet to rest and the shoes to air out.

Suede material looks dull or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner. Avoid using water on suede as much as possible.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the suede and synthetic parts. For the mesh, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove light stains. Consider a suede protector spray for added resistance against water and stains.
  4. Insoles: The removable EVA footbeds can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and allowed to dry completely before reinserting.
