FAQs
What type of terrain are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 best suited for?
These shoes are specifically designed for varied trail conditions, offering excellent performance on wet and dry surfaces, rocky paths, and technical terrain. They are suitable for anything from groomed trails to challenging mountain ascents.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a breathable engineered mesh upper, which provides good ventilation but is not waterproof. They are designed to dry quickly if they get wet.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height of the Agility Peak 5?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 has a stack height of 31-25 mm, resulting in a 6mm heel-to-toe drop. This provides a balance of cushioning and a natural feel.
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 vegan?
Yes, these shoes are vegan-friendly, meaning they are constructed without any animal-derived materials.
How do I clean my Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes?
After use, brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with a mild soap and cold water using a soft brush. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.
What does Cleansport NXT™ do?
Cleansport NXT™ is a natural odor control treatment that uses beneficial microbes to break down odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep your shoes fresh without chemical treatments.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe or heel lift.
Ensure laces are tied securely, focusing on creating a snug fit around the midfoot and ankle. Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a 'heel lock' lacing, to further secure the heel.
Excessive foot odor.
The shoes feature Cleansport NXT™ for natural odor control. To maintain this, ensure shoes are aired out properly after each use. If odor persists, remove insoles and wash them gently with mild soap and water, allowing both shoes and insoles to air dry completely.
Discomfort or hot spots during long runs.
Check your sock choice; moisture-wicking socks can prevent friction. Ensure the lacing isn't too tight, causing pressure points. If issues persist, consider whether the shoe's cushioning or arch support aligns with your foot mechanics, or consult a running specialist.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces.
While Vibram MegaGrip® offers excellent traction, certain conditions (e.g., extremely muddy, slick rock with algae) can still be challenging. Ensure the lugs are free from packed mud or debris. Consider your stride and foot placement on tricky surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional maximum cushioning and comfort for long distances.
- Superior traction on varied wet and dry trail surfaces due to Vibram MegaGrip®.
- Lightweight design (under 10.6 oz) for its level of cushioning and protection.
- Secure and comfortable fit with a sculpted heel cup and breathable upper.
- Enhanced flexibility for improved ground feel and natural foot movement.
- Environmentally friendly with significant use of recycled materials and vegan construction.
Cons
- May be overly cushioned for runners who prefer a more minimalist feel.

Proper fit is key for the Merrell Agility Peak 5. Ensure you have adequate toe room (about a thumb's width) and that your heel feels secure without slipping excessively when laced. The shoe's `Gaiter D-Ring` provides a convenient attachment point for gaiters, offering additional protection from debris on particularly rugged trails. For compatibility, these shoes are designed for all types of trail running conditions, from soft paths to rocky technical terrain. To care for your Agility Peak 5 shoes, gently brush off loose dirt and debris after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials. The `Cleansport NXT™` treatment naturally controls odors, but airing them out between uses is also recommended.
