Product Information
Full details
The Merrell Agility Peak 5 is designed for trail runners of all levels, ranging from casual 5K trainees to ultra-marathon competitors. This model offers a significant improvement over its predecessors by delivering enhanced cushioning and a more secure, sculpted heel fit for increased comfort and reduced slippage. While it excels on diverse terrains, runners who prefer a minimalist or ground-feel shoe may find the increased rocker profile and maximum cushioning profile less suitable for their specific biomechanical preferences.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Agility Peak 5 suitable for road running?
While it can handle occasional pavement transitions, the lugs are optimized for trails and will wear down prematurely on hard asphalt surfaces.
How does the fit compare to previous versions?
This version features a more sculpted, secure heel cup, which provides a tighter, more locked-in feel compared to older models.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Agility Peak 5 is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and will allow water to pass through if submerged.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 235 grams, making it a lightweight option for trail running.
Can I use my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during ascents
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the lugs after the mud has dried, ensuring maximum grip for your next run.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly lighter than previous iterations
- Improved heel lockdown reduces risk of blisters
- High-cushion platform protects feet on technical terrain
- Rocker geometry assists with forward momentum
Cons
- Maximum cushion may feel less responsive to minimalist runners
- Increased rocker might feel unnatural to those used to flat-sole shoes
- Specific sizing (UK 5.5) may require precise measurement for best fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Agility Peak 5 trainers, avoid machine washing, which can break down the adhesives and foam structure. Instead, remove excess mud with a soft brush after each run. If the interior becomes wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Because these shoes feature a technical fit, ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blends to prevent friction, as cotton socks can increase the risk of moisture-related irritation.
