Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Agility Trail Waterproof trainers are designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts and trail runners who require reliable performance on varied terrain. These shoes offer the significant benefit of long-lasting energy-saving cushioning combined with weather-resistant protection, making them an ideal choice for off-road miles in unpredictable conditions; however, potential users should note that the specialized waterproof construction may result in slightly reduced breathability compared to non-waterproof lightweight alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the 3mm lugs are specifically designed for soft or uneven trail surfaces and may wear down faster on abrasive asphalt.
How do I maintain the waterproof capabilities?
Keep the exterior clean from mud and dirt. Over time, you may apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for waterproof footwear.
Are they true to size?
The Merrell Agility Trail fits consistently with standard sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker hiking socks, consider testing for size with your preferred sock type.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the waterproof coating. Hand-cleaning with water and a soft cloth is recommended.
What is the primary function of the FloatPro foam?
FloatPro is Merrell's proprietary foam technology designed to provide lightweight, durable, and responsive cushioning for extended periods of activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel damp inside despite waterproof membrane
This is often caused by trapped perspiration; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole lugs are free of packed mud or debris by using a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Agility Trail trainers, it is recommended to break them in on shorter walks before embarking on long-distance runs. Compatibility is standard for neutral foot shapes, and they fit true to size for most adults. To clean, remove excess mud with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof treatment. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam and damage the waterproof membrane.
