Women's Merrell Speed Strike 2 Ltr Mid WP - Gale PVIAC2023 runners wearing these shoes willThe waterproof mid Speed Strike 2 built on a full grain leather upper. Leather takes more abuse than mesh and wears in rather than out, so this is the version to buy if your last pair died at the toe. Full grain leather with a waterproof membrane, a cushioned midsole, and a sticky rubber outsole for traction on wet ground. Ankle support from the mid cut. Heavier and more durable than the mesh version, and easier to wipe clean.
