How does the Speed Strike 2 Mid WP fit?

Sizing runs up about half a size, so consider sizing down. The padded collar and bellows tongue give a snug, athletic fit around the ankle.

Is it fully waterproof?

Yes. A waterproof membrane seals out water while letting moisture escape, so feet stay dry in wet trail conditions and light rain.

How does it compare with a traditional leather hiking boot?

It is lighter and more flexible, closer to a trail runner. It gives less ankle support and durability than a stiff full-leather hiker, so it suits day hikes better than heavy loads.

What is the upper made of?

Waterproof synthetic leather and mesh, with a bellows tongue, padded collar, and synthetic toe and heel caps. The laces, webbing, and mesh lining are recycled.

Can I clip it to a pack?

Yes. The heel loop is carabiner-compatible, so you can hang the boots from a pack.

Does it control odor?

The removable EVA footbed has a Cleansport NXT treatment for natural odor control, and the footbed itself uses 50% recycled content.

About the Merrell Women's Speed Strike 2 Mid WP Hiking Boots

The Merrell Speed Strike 2 Mid Waterproof is a women's waterproof hiking boot that moves more like a trail shoe than a traditional hiker. It gives ankle coverage and weather protection without the stiff, heavy feel of a classic hiking boot. The waterproof membrane seals out water while letting moisture escape.

The upper combines waterproof synthetic leather and mesh. A bellows tongue keeps dirt and debris out, and a padded collar adds comfort around the ankle. A synthetic heel and toe cap protect against rocks and roots. The EVA foam midsole keeps the ride lightweight, and the rubber outsole grips the terrain.

A heel loop makes the boot easy to pull on and is carabiner-compatible for clipping to a pack. The laces, webbing and mesh lining are made from 100% recycled materials. The removable EVA foam footbed uses 50% recycled content. Cleansport NXT treatment provides natural odor control. Sizing runs up half, so consider sizing down.
