FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 waterproof?
The standard Merrell Agility Peak 5 model is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For enhanced waterproofing, Merrell offers Gore-Tex (GTX) versions of the Agility Peak series.
How do I choose the right size?
It is highly recommended to try the shoes on, preferably later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Check Merrell's sizing chart for specific measurements if purchasing online.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
Yes, while designed for trails, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for casual walking. However, their aggressive tread may wear faster on hard surfaces compared to dedicated walking shoes.
What is the benefit of the stability plate?
The stability plate is designed to protect the foot from sharp objects on the trail and provides torsional rigidity, helping to keep your foot stable and supported on uneven terrain, especially during long distances.
How durable is the lugged rubber sole?
The lugged rubber sole is constructed for durability and grip on trails. However, like all trail shoe outsoles, its longevity will depend on the terrain, frequency of use, and maintenance.
What terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 is best suited for a variety of trail conditions, including dirt paths, rocky terrain, mud, and mixed surfaces. The aggressive lugs provide reliable traction across most natural environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or rub.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Break them in gradually on shorter runs.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
The lug pattern is designed for varied terrain; performance on extremely slick, wet surfaces may vary. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. Consider a GTX (Gore-Tex) version for enhanced water resistance if this is a frequent concern.
Premature wear on the outsole.
Trail running inherently causes wear. Avoid using these shoes on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt for extended periods, which can accelerate outsole degradation.

Compatibility: The Agility Peak 5 is designed for trail running and hiking. It is compatible with most standard running socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Merrell Agility Peak 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
