FAQs
Are the Merrell Agility Peak 5 shoes waterproof?
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 features SBR/mesh collar and tongue designed for low water absorption, but the breathable mesh upper means they are not fully waterproof. They offer good water resistance for splashes and light rain, but water can penetrate in heavy rain or deep puddles.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for technical and varied trail terrain, including rocky paths, muddy trails, and uneven surfaces. The durable construction, rock plate, and aggressive Vibram® outsole provide excellent performance in challenging conditions.
How do I choose the correct size?
Merrell generally runs true to size, but it's recommended to try them on, especially if you plan to wear thick running socks. Ensure you have about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort during descents.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can technically run on roads in these, they are specifically designed for trails. The aggressive outsole lugs may wear down quickly on asphalt and the cushioning might feel overly firm for continuous road impact, making them less ideal for dedicated road running.
How do I clean my Agility Peak 5 shoes?
Brush off loose dirt, then hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Remove insoles and air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the midsole that shields your foot from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, preventing bruising and discomfort on rugged terrain.
Are the shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Agility Peak 5 incorporates several eco-conscious materials, including 100% recycled laces, webbing, breathable mesh lining, and a recycled mesh footbed cover.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel sweaty or hot during use.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as sock choice significantly impacts foot climate. Consider loosening laces slightly for more airflow if necessary.
Experiencing some slippage on extremely wet or slick surfaces.
While Vibram® outsoles offer excellent grip, extreme conditions like slick mud or wet, smooth rock can still be challenging. Adjust your gait, shorten your stride, and focus on planting your feet firmly. Inspect outsole lugs for excessive wear, which could reduce traction.
Persistent odor despite the shoes' odor control features.
Remove and wash the insoles separately with a mild soap and thoroughly air dry them. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried after each use. If odor persists, a shoe deodorizer or baking soda placed inside the shoes overnight can help absorb smells.

Care Instructions
- Remove Excess Dirt: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud after each use to prevent buildup.
- Hand Wash: Use cold water and a mild soap (e.g., dish soap) for deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Air Dry: Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain material integrity and prevent odor.
