FAQ
WHO IS THE MERRELL SPEED STRIKE 2 FOR?
The Speed Strike 2 is ideal for hikers and walkers who want trail-ready protection without the heavier feel of a traditional hiking shoe. Its athletic construction makes it particularly versatile for day hikes, light-to-moderate trails, travel, and everyday outdoor wear.
IS THE MERRELL SPEED STRIKE 2 WATERPROOF?
The standard Speed Strike 2 is not waterproof. Merrell offers separate Speed Strike 2 Waterproof and Speed Strike 2 GORE-TEX® versions for hikers who need additional wet-weather protection.
HOW DOES THE MERRELL SPEED STRIKE 2 FIT?
The standard Speed Strike 2 is offered in men's and women's sizing, and Merrell also offers dedicated wide-width versions. The padded collar helps comfortably secure the heel, while the traditional lace closure allows runners and hikers to adjust the midfoot hold.
IS THE SPEED STRIKE 2 GOOD FOR HIKING?
Yes. Merrell specifically categorizes the Speed Strike 2 for hiking and describes it as providing hiking-shoe comfort and protection with a faster, more athletic style. Its cushioning, protective heel and toe construction, and durable traction make it particularly well suited to day hiking and less technical trails.
WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF THE MERRELL SPEED STRIKE 2?
Key features include a synthetic-and-mesh upper, padded collar, abrasion-resistant heel and toe protection, lightweight EVA midsole, removable 50% recycled EVA footbed, breathable recycled mesh lining, Cleansport NXT™ odor control treatment, and a durable rubber outsole.
