Merrell Speed Strike 2 WP Hiking Shoe - Men's Black, 10.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I really like the Speed Strike 2 because it feels more like a trail runner than a bulky hiker. The waterproofing works well, and the traction grips on slick rocks and muddy trails. Plus, it’s cool knowing it’s built with recycled materials from the laces to the footbed."" The Merrell Speed Strike 2 WP Hiking Shoe delivers the protection of a waterproof hiker with the agility of a trail shoe. Designed to move fast and light, it features a proprietary waterproof membrane that seals out wet weather while letting moisture escape, keeping our feet dry and comfortable across long days on the trail. A synthetic leather and mesh upper balances durability and breathability, while protective toe and heel caps add abrasion resistance on rugged terrain. The shoe is built with sustainability in mind, using 100% recycled laces, webbing, mesh lining, and a 50% recycled EVA foam footbed. Cleansport NXT™ treatment naturally resists odor, making them a reliable pick for multi-day trips. Underfoot, a lightweight EVA midsole keeps the stride stable and cushioned, while Merrell’s sticky rubber outsole with 4mm lugs grips confidently on wet rock, loose gravel, and dirt. With a modern, athletic design, the Speed Strike 2 WP is ready for fast-paced hikes and adventurous miles."
