FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 suitable for hiking long distances?
Yes, the Agility Peak 5 is well-suited for long-distance hiking due to its maximum cushioning, lightweight design, and comfortable fit, which help reduce fatigue over many miles.
How do I clean the Agility Peak 5 shoes?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap for the exterior. For the interior, spot clean. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What makes the heel cup 'sculpted'?
The sculpted heel cup is anatomically shaped to provide a more secure and comfortable fit around the heel, reducing the likelihood of the shoe slipping during activity.
Are these shoes good for trail running in wet conditions?
The shoes offer good traction on various surfaces, including moderately wet trails, thanks to the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole and water-resistant upper. However, they are not fully waterproof and deep water or heavy rain may result in some moisture ingress.
What is the benefit of the NXT treatment?
The NXT treatment applied to the footbed helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet feeling fresher during and after use.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than trail running?
Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 is noted for its versatility and can be effectively used for cross-country running, general fitness training, and even has been found to perform well on golf courses.
What is the weight of the Merrell Agility Peak 5?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 weighs less than 10.6 ounces (approximately 300 grams), contributing to its agile and lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort upon first wear.
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing duration to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram® MegaGrip® offers excellent traction, extremely slick wet surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can impede grip. Slow down and exercise caution on very wet or slippery terrain.
Feet feel warm or sweaty during activity.
The shoe is designed with breathability in mind, but intense activity can lead to sweating. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Allow the shoes to air out completely between uses.
Water seeps into the shoe.
The Agility Peak 5 is water-resistant, not waterproof. For protection against significant water ingress, consider waterproof trail running shoes or gaiters. Avoid deep water crossings if possible.

Care:
