FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speed Strike 2 Trek is designed for breathability. While they can handle light morning dew, they are not strictly waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily designed as trainers and for hiking. While suitable for light jogging, they lack the specific mechanical cushioning needed for long-distance road running.
How do I determine my size?
The models follow standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a specific size in other athletic brands, we recommend sticking with that size.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal insole can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
What kind of terrain is best for this shoe?
They are ideal for well-maintained trails, gravel paths, and light forest tracks.
How do I maintain the blue color?
Keep them out of harsh chemicals and direct sun for extended periods. A protective water-repellent spray designed for synthetic fabrics can help repel dirt and stains.
Troubleshooting
The laces keep coming undone.
Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a textured, high-friction pair if the current ones are too slippery.
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear.
Check your lacing tension; over-tightening can restrict circulation. If needed, swap the factory insole for one with higher arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Speed Strike 2 Trek shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for standard adult foot profiles. Ensure you have about a half-inch of space in the toe box to prevent discomfort on downhill grades.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them around the house for a few hours before your first long hike to allow the footbed to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: After a muddy hike, remove excess dirt with a soft brush once dry. If they become heavily soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and to keep the materials from becoming brittle.
