Merrell Speed Strike 2 Hiking Shoe - Men's

I bought this for use on vacation in Portugal, Spain and Rome. Every day was miles of walking on cobbly streets and very hilly. The shoes were very comfortable at first, with grippy soles and good looking, but too thin and flexy for my old flat feet. Even with my orthotic insoles I was sore every day and they were unusually hot. I switched to my Teva sandals for the next two weeks and was fine. I should have gone with a Moab Vent.

Great hiking/walking shoes. Shopped around for a below ankle shoe, the Speed Striker 2 was the best I found. Comfortable, durable w/great traction. I own other hiking boots from quality brands and Merrell Footwear is in their league. Good product, give it a try!

I bought my Merrell Speed Strike 2 shoes because I wanted a solid pair of lightweight, hiking shoes. I tested them on a recent trip to Hawaii where I did a hike through a rain forest. The shoes met all my expectations. Very comfortable, got me through all the rough trails, and even wading through some water crossings.

Good shoe, fits well great for walking, looks good

Runs very large, one full size if not more, got men’s 7.5 W and it is large in length and a lot wider in width, it felt lightweight which is good, if the fit was better think it would be a good shoe but as large as it is, tried for couple days and it is in the donation box now.

Second pair, love them. Easy to order by scanning the label on the shoe tab.

Most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. Wish I had purchased sooner in my life.

I use my Merrells for light hiking on rocky desert trails and roads in Arizona. They provide good performance on both types of terrain. These shoes provide breathability in the desert, which is becoming harder to find since most are waterproof. The wide fits my weird feet and provides good support on trails.
