Merrell - Agility Peak 6 GTX Trainers - Grey - 9

While they can be worn on roads, they are specifically engineered for trail terrain; their lugs may wear down faster if used exclusively on hard, paved surfaces.

Use a soft brush and water to clear exterior debris and ensure the interior is aired out frequently to prevent moisture buildup.

The midsole provides a structured, neutral platform suitable for most runners; however, it is compatible with aftermarket insoles if specific arch support is needed.

Light-to-medium weight moisture-wicking running socks are recommended to complement the breathability of the shoe.

If the outer layer is torn, the GORE-TEX waterproof efficiency will be reduced. Inspect the exterior for abrasions if you notice water leakage.

The shoe may be too small; since a half-size increase is recommended, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks and consider a different size if pressure points persist.

Ensure the laces are tied securely to seal the throat of the shoe and check that the GORE-TEX liner has not been damaged by sharp objects inside the shoe.

Clean the debris and mud out of the lug patterns on the outsole, as packed-in dirt can prevent the rubber from making proper contact with the ground.
