Nice Light Weight Version of a Moab!
Have worn Moab low quarter hiking shoes for ever, however, was looking for something in a hiker that was a bit lighter for everyday wear and perhaps more cushion on the feet. The Speed Strike seems to fit that requirement, at least for me. Live in the desert foothills above Phoenix and daily walking a combination of concrete, light trails and occasionally a trail for a more demanding shoe with heavier lugs. Switch between this shoe and a Moab II when I need something real heavy duty. The shoe is light enough with great flexibility. The toe box is also a bit extended compared to the Moab II so feels more comfortable going downhill. They may not last as long as a Moab, but will see how that goes. Satisfied with the purchase.

Soles sliding in shoe.
Soles sliding back in the shoe. They don’t seem glued securely.

Speed strike hiking shoe.
I am familiar with Merrill shoes and their quality durability and comfort.
This is my 3rd pair.
I was happy to find this pair on the shelf.
I have received many compliments on them.

Merrill - can't go wrong
Picked these up for my brother - he likes them a lot. He's on his feet most of the day and they are comfortable.

I really like these shoes
I really like these shoes. They nicely wrap my feet. I have metatarsal issues and these shoes are comfortable. I am thinking about getting another pair in a different color.

Cheap insoles
These shoes blew me away when I first got them at the beginning of the year. They were an excellent new hiking/ trail running shoe that motivated me to start hiking everyday since then. Unfortunately I discovered after having a foot irritation issue on one foot, that the soles were the most cheapest insoles I have ever seen, and also that they literally slide around inside the shoe as they are not affixed in anyway like a new shoe would be. Consequently now I have a contact dermatitis issue I am dealing with because the insoles are so cheap. Quite disappointing for merrell shoes and what they cost.
"Soles sliding back in the shoe. They don’t seem glued securely." Apparently I am not the only one who has encountered this issue. Please fix merrell team

Great shoes again from Merrell
Bought these shoes a couple weeks ago. They are great, fit like a glove and are great for walking the trails and I even wore them to wrk to try them all day. Great shoes from Merrell.
