The problem with these shoes is that although they are exceptionally comfortable and fit well, unfortunately the quality of the textiles used for their production is at least questionable. I'm talking about the smell the shoes emit. After unpacking, the room is filled with the scent of a Chinese market selling flip-flops for 3 zlotys; after a while, the fumes even give you a headache. The sizing runs small. I have size 43 feet, but the shoe feels like a 41.5. It's a shame, because these could really seem like nice shoes, but the described flaws rather disqualify them for everyday use.
Merrell Speed Strike 2 Thermo MID Boots - Black
Boots featuring a lightweight yet robust design, crafted from recycled materials. Outfitted with a waterproof membrane, these boots merge the advantages of trekking and tactical footwear. The high, reinforced upper provides excellent foot stability, even on challenging terrain. Ideal for winter activities as well as outdoor adventures.
Natural leather, Rip-Stop reinforced material
The upper features a blend of natural leather and durable Rip-stop woven fabric. Inside, the lining is crafted from recycled fleece. A thermal layer made of 200 grams of lightweight, synthetic insulation delivers outstanding warmth and comfort while maintaining a low-profile design, making the footwear ideal for wear in cold weather conditions.
Reinforced panels on the upper and around the toe area offer enhanced protection when navigating demanding terrain.
Waterproof membrane
A breathable and waterproof membrane acts as a barrier against water infiltration while effectively channeling moisture away from the foot. With these capabilities, your feet remain dry and comfortable even during high-intensity activities.
EVA foam insole, Cleansport NXT
The removable insole consists of 50% recycled EVA foam.
Cleansport NXT represents advanced technology that neutralizes odors in footwear. By employing beneficial bacteria integrated into the fabric's structure, contact with sweat triggers enzyme production that destroys the bacteria causing unpleasant smells. This ensures long-lasting freshness for your footwear, with the bacteria remaining active on the fabric's surface.
Rubber sole, EVA midsole
A dual-layer EVA foam midsole delivers exceptional foot support, ensuring optimal stabilization and effective impact protection during every step.
Confident movement across rugged terrain is ensured by a flexible, abrasion-resistant sole crafted from robust rubber. Exceptional cushioning enhances comfort, while the non-slip surface and deep tread pattern guarantee outstanding traction, even on wet or slippery ground.
Two-zone lacing system, inserts at the tongue
A high sewn-in tongue acts as a barrier against sand, dust, and other debris, ensuring nothing enters the shoes, while a two-zone lacing system delivers an exact and secure fit. Convenient loops at the heel facilitate quick and easy donning and removal.

Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.
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.
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.
