Nice shoes. They are light, breathable, and you can feel the ground well in them, whether it's flat or uneven terrain. The laces, although round and quite stiff, do not loosen. At minus 10 degrees Celsius, you don't feel the cold from the sole, nor really from the upper part (tested without winter socks), but everyone has a different sensitivity to the cold. In winter, while shopping in a supermarket, my feet got hot in them. The only thing that fooled my eyes a bit was the color. The shoes are indeed black, but the mesh is not black, it's navy blue, like a police uniform :) If it's dark you can't really tell, but in daylight they look a bit like police shoes.
Merrell Speed Strike 2 MID GTX Boots - Black
Lightweight yet robust footwear crafted from recycled materials, featuring a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane that merges the advantages of trekking and tactical boots. The high, reinforced upper offers superior foot stability, even in challenging terrain.
Skóra syntetyczna, materiał mesh
Constructed with a blend of synthetic leather and durable, tear-resistant mesh fabric, the upper ensures superior resilience. Enhanced reinforcements located on the upper and around the toe area deliver extra protection when navigating challenging terrain.
Gore-Tex membrane, EVA foam insole
Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane ensures moisture escapes while blocking outside water from entering. The insole, which is removable, is crafted from 50% recycled EVA foam.
Cleansport NXT Technology
Cleansport NXT represents an advanced solution designed to combat odors in footwear. Leveraging a system of beneficial bacteria integrated into the fabric's structure, these agents activate upon exposure to sweat. The bacteria then produce enzymes that neutralize the microorganisms responsible for bad smells. As a consequence, footwear stays fresh for its entire lifespan, with the beneficial bacteria adhering to the fabric’s surface.
Rubber sole, EVA midsole
Featuring a dual-layer midsole crafted from high-quality EVA foam, the model delivers optimal support, ensuring excellent foot stabilization and reliable impact protection. Flexible and highly abrasion-resistant, the robust rubber outsole promotes steady movement across diverse terrain. Enhanced cushioning works in tandem with a non-slip surface and deep tread pattern, guaranteeing superior traction even on wet or slick ground.
Lacing system, inserts at the tongue
The boots feature a high integrated tongue design that acts as a barrier against sand, dust, and other debris, while the two-zone lacing system ensures optimal adjustment and a secure fit. Convenient loops at the heel provide easy on and off.

The EVA sole made of lightweight foam is characterized by its flexibility and good shock absorption properties. It reduces foot fatigue, especially when wearing shoes for long periods of time. It adjusts to the shape of the foot, providing support and comfort for the wearer.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.
