FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used for short distances on roads, the Agility Peak 6 is optimized for trail running. The aggressive outsole and rock plate are best suited for natural terrain and may feel stiff or wear down faster on pavement.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart or try on the shoes in person. Merrell sizing is generally consistent, but individual fit can vary. The provided size (UK 8.5) is a starting point.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry.
What is the main advantage of the FlexConnect™ technology?
FlexConnect™ provides dual-directional flex-grooves in the midsole, which enhances ground connection and promotes a more stable and natural feel on varied terrain.
How does the FloatPro™ foam contribute to performance?
FloatPro™ foam is a lightweight and resilient midsole material that offers exceptional energy return and long-lasting comfort, reducing fatigue during extended trail runs.
What is the purpose of the forefoot rock plate?
The forefoot rock plate acts as a protective barrier, shielding your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards encountered on technical trails.
How often should I check the outsole for cleaning?
It's advisable to check and clean the outsole after each trail run, especially if you encountered mud, excessive debris, or sticky conditions, to maintain optimal grip.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean and free of mud, debris, or excessive wear. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the lugs.
Foot fatigue on long runs.
Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for optimal support and cushioning. Consider using different socks or insoles if the issue persists, though the FloatPro™ midsole is designed for extended comfort.
Shoes feel stiff on flat terrain.
This is normal due to the trail-specific design and rock plate. The FlexConnect™ technology will engage more on uneven surfaces. Try to use these shoes primarily on trails as intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the lace-up fastening is adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Test the fit by walking and gently jogging before embarking on a long run.
Compatibility: The Agility Peak 6 is designed for trail running and hiking on varied natural surfaces. It is compatible with most types of running socks. It is not intended for use as casual footwear on hard, artificial surfaces for extended periods, as this may affect tread wear.
Care: To clean, remove loose dirt with a brush. For dirtier shoes, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris and clean as needed.
