Merrell Agility Peak 6 - Trainers - Black - UK 12.5

While they offer excellent cushioning and support, their aggressive tread and trail-specific design are optimized for running on varied terrain. They can be used for walking, but might feel overbuilt or less comfortable on hard, flat surfaces compared to dedicated walking shoes.

Use a soft brush and cold water to gently scrub away mud and debris from the outsole. You can also rinse them under a tap. Avoid using high-pressure water or harsh cleaning agents.

The Merrell Agility Peak 6 has a stack height of 38mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot, resulting in a drop of 6mm.

Yes, the trainers use a traditional lace closure, allowing you to easily replace or customize the laces if needed.

FloatPro foam is designed for enduring comfort and durability, providing consistent cushioning and energy return over the lifespan of the shoe, even with regular use on demanding trails.

FlexConnect grooves are engineered into the midsole to provide enhanced ground connection and natural foot flexion. This allows the shoe to adapt better to uneven terrain, improving stability and your sense of the trail.

The Agility Peak 6 features a 'streamlined fit'. While it offers a secure lockdown, individuals with very wide feet might find it a bit snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider if your usual size accommodates your foot width comfortably.

Ensure laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress through the tongue opening. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or excessive wear on the shoe. Clean the shoe thoroughly, as dirt can compromise membrane performance.

Clean the Vibram MegaGrip outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution.

Ensure the shoes are properly laced, neither too tight nor too loose. Try different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider if the 'streamlined fit' requires a longer break-in period or if an alternative size/model might be more suitable.

The Cleansport NXT treatment helps control odour. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use. Removing insoles to dry separately can also help. Periodically wash the shoes gently with cold water and allow them to air dry.

The bellows tongue is designed to keep debris out. Ensure it is positioned correctly and the laces are tied snugly. If significant debris is entering, check for tears in the upper or tongue area.
