FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Agility Peak 5 generally offers a standard fit. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult sizing guides to determine if this model or a wider alternative would be more appropriate.
How do I know if the GORE-TEX membrane is still effective?
The primary indicator is dryness. If your feet remain dry during wet runs, the membrane is likely functioning well. If you notice water penetration despite proper care, the membrane may be compromised.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water.
What is the expected lifespan of the Vibram MegaGrip outsole?
The lifespan of the outsole depends heavily on usage frequency, terrain, and running style. With regular trail use, expect significant durability, but excessive wear may eventually reduce its grip capabilities.
How do I best use the Cleansport NXT™ odor control feature?
Cleansport NXT works by naturally inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria. To maximize its effectiveness, allow the shoes to air out completely between uses. Avoid storing them in damp conditions.
Is this shoe suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the features like waterproof protection, ankle support, and durable outsole make them suitable for hiking on similar terrains, although they are optimized for the dynamic movements of trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
Water is seeping through the shoes
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not damaged. Check seams and the tongue area for any tears. If the shoes are simply submerged for a long period, some dampness may occur. Allow them to dry thoroughly.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Vibram MegaGrip outsole with water to remove any embedded debris. Check the outsole for excessive wear; if significantly worn, grip may be compromised.
Unusual odor despite Cleansport NXT
While the technology helps, intense use can still lead to odors. Ensure shoes are properly aired out after each use and consider occasional gentle cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult women engaged in trail running. They are suitable for use on diverse outdoor terrains.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's effectiveness, avoid using oils or greases directly on the shoes. Periodically check for any damage to the membrane.
