Merrell Speed Strike 2 GTX Men
Waterproof hiking boot with a GORE-TEX® membrane, offering optimal stability and comfort for men.
The Speed Strike 2 GTX Men by Merrell is the ideal choice for men who prioritize comfort and protection while hiking. This hiking boot features a GORE-TEX® membrane that offers exceptional breathability and waterproofing. The upper, made of waterproof synthetic leather and ripstop fabric, ensures that your feet stay dry even in adverse weather conditions.
A padded collar and a bellows tongue prevent dirt from getting in and provide additional comfort. The protective, abrasion-resistant heel and toe caps made of synthetic material ensure durability and additional protection on uneven terrain. For easy handling, the shoe is equipped with a heel loop, which also ensures compatibility with carabiners.
This shoe stands out thanks to its lightweight EVA foam midsole, which ensures stability and comfort, as well as its rubber outsole with a stack height of 34–24 mm and a drop of 10 mm. Cleansport NXT™ technology provides natural odor control, which is particularly beneficial on longer hikes. With 100% recycled laces and a breathable mesh lining, this shoe is not only functional but also thoughtfully designed.
