FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 is primarily designed for trail running, offering aggressive grip and protection for off-road conditions. While they can handle short sections of road, their specialized outsole may wear faster and feel less comfortable on pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.
What does '6mm Drop' mean?
The '6mm Drop' refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 6mm drop is considered a moderate drop, offering a balance between cushioning and a more natural foot strike, suitable for a wide range of runners.
How do I clean my Agility Peak 5 shoes?
To clean, gently brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. While it can handle light splashes, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider pairing with waterproof socks or looking for a waterproof version if available.
Can I use my own insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the Merrell Agility Peak 5 features a removable EVA insole, allowing you to easily replace it with custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort and support.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The integrated rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the midsole. Its purpose is to shield the bottom of your foot from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail hazards, enhancing safety and comfort on technical terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during runs
Ensure proper lacing; try adjusting tightness or experimenting with different lacing patterns. Check if socks are appropriate (moisture-wicking, seamless). The removable EVA insole can be swapped for an orthotic if needed.
Slipping or reduced grip on wet/loose terrain
Verify outsole lugs are clean and free of embedded debris. The Vibram MegaGrip outsole is designed for superior traction, but extreme conditions may still challenge any footwear. Adjust stride and footing to adapt to conditions.
Debris entering the shoe
Consider using trail gaiters. The shoes are equipped with gaiter D-rings for easy attachment, which can significantly reduce debris entry on dusty or gravelly trails.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Merrell sizing can vary slightly; always refer to their size guide. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit. The external rear strap can help secure the heel if it feels loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely but not overly tightly tied. Utilize the integrated lace system for an even, snug fit across your foot.
- First Wear: Wear your new Agility Peak 5s for short walks or light runs before attempting long distances to allow them to conform to your feet.
- Gaiter Attachment: If using gaiters, attach them to the designated D-rings at the front of the shoe to prevent debris from entering.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Ideal for technical trails, rocky paths, muddy conditions, and varied natural landscapes. Less suited for smooth pavement or indoor track use.
- Activities: Best for trail running, fast hiking, and rugged outdoor adventures.
- Footwear: Pair with moisture-wicking athletic socks to enhance breathability and prevent blisters.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, which can damage materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Insoles: The removable EVA insoles can be taken out and washed separately to maintain freshness.
