FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
While their robust construction and grip make them capable for some hiking, they are specifically designed and optimized for the dynamic movements and demands of trail running.
What is the primary benefit of the FlexConnect™ technology?
FlexConnect™ technology provides enhanced stability over long distances by offering a more connected feel to the ground, which is crucial for navigating uneven trails.
How does the forefoot rock plate help?
The forefoot rock plate acts as a shield, protecting your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other trail debris, reducing the risk of bruising or injury.
What type of terrain is the Vibram® Megagrip outsole best for?
The Vibram® Megagrip outsole is renowned for its exceptional grip on both wet and dry surfaces, making it ideal for a wide variety of trail conditions, including rocks, mud, and loose dirt.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel does not slip and the midfoot is snug but not restrictive.
Can these trainers be used in wet weather?
Yes, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides excellent traction even in wet conditions. However, the trainers themselves are not waterproof, so your feet may get wet in heavy rain or if you run through deep puddles.
What is the difference between the Agility Peak 6 and previous models?
The Agility Peak 6 focuses on improved stability and energy return through advancements in the FloatPro™ foam midsole and the integration of full-length FlexConnect™ technology for enhanced long-mile performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks or attempting to break in the shoes on shorter runs before longer distances.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Vibram® Megagrip outsole offers excellent traction, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can impede grip.
Foot fatigue during long runs
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately. The FloatPro™ foam and FlexConnect™ are designed for energy return, but consistent fatigue may indicate a need for further break-in or a different shoe model if discomfort persists.
Debris getting into the shoe
Consider using gaiters designed for trail running, which attach to the shoe and your ankle to prevent small rocks and dirt from entering.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Agility Peak 6 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It is recommended to wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the fit and support.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed specifically for trail running and are compatible with most trail conditions. They are not optimized for road running, and performance may be reduced on paved surfaces.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Remove loose dirt and debris after each use with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
